The problem with the various charging point companies needs fixed ASAP. Having to join this “club” and that is a nonsense. Stick your card in the machine and pay for it simple. I dont think it would be cheap, although very desirable, to add battery storage to a new house unless it was a very small battery, Teslas battery is about £6,000 then more to fit, but the solar panels and charging point would be about £5,000 combined.
Brydo I have browsed Octopus Energy scheme am I right in thinking EV like the Nissan Leaf can be used as a battery storage bank. This could seriously smooth out the grid, possibly charging up at off peak to use throughout the home in the day.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
