Vestel ECharger EVC04-AC11-T2P

Product Information

This is the challenge for infrastructure…it’s fine now for early buyers. It becomes less fine unless the infrastructure improves in line with adoption. And we know already it isn’t. When thinking about public chargers, it’s important to look at what sort of subscription or pay as you go services are available for them and which nearby chargers they can be used on. For example, some of the major public charging networks include:

Remove the charging cable from your EV. Again refer to your vehicle’s handbook if you’re struggling to do this. Plug in the charging lead into the EV charging station and your vehicle. Please refer to the vehicle’s handbook if you’re having trouble with this. I don't mean travelling over 100 miles without stopping is extreme, just that for most people it's not really an issue as they can have a coffee/lunch/ explore or whatever. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024.

Obviously that is true but the infrastructure wasn't there for petrol to replace horses. Why didn't that fail? So the two key figures - 83 TWh per year compared to the 2019 annual demand for electricity in the UK which was 309 TWh - so we will need to make and supply 25% more electricity with EV's. The app is also top-notch, with an intuitive design that easily allows you to see where your vehicle’s energy is coming from. All you’ll need to do is choose which charging mode suits you. EO says it’s the smallest smart charger in the world, though it appears to have been overtaken by the Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Pod Point has been manufacturing chargers for more than a decade, which means it was a pioneer in the burgeoning EV industry.

Its subtle nature is complemented by the fact that it’s one of an increasing number of electric vehicle (EV) chargers that don’t need an earth rod. Nevertheless, its size makes it easy to hide in plain sight, though among the four colours it comes in is the extremely bright EO blue , so you can show it off if you want.

If you have a solar array and are willing to pay a bit more, this model can use surplus solar power to power your vehicle. As I said I'm not arguing with the need for improved infrastructure (it is improving by the way), but I think you are exaggerating the problems with your claim that 'hundreds and hundreds' of chargers are needed at every service station, maybe I am missing something but I don't see why this many will actually be needed. The machine also pairs with the Pod Point App, but this app isn’t as highly rated as most others on the App Store or Google Play – and for good reason. We are pleased to have found a partner like Vestel who supports us in fulfilling the high customer demand for e-mobility solutions with well-engineered and attractively designed hardware," says Mathias Wiecher, Vice President E-Mobility at E.ON. "We were particularly impressed by the many years of expertise that Vestel has and by its comprehensive EV charger portfolio. Together we will bring even more sustainable mobility to German roads. " Be a bit more imaginative. You can charge places that aren't motorway services, so break road trips up by stopping at nice places whilst you charge.

Agreed. And in my case I've gone from guaranteed filling up for 5mins per week to 1 possible charging session of 30mins per year. Completely different profile.At one point we had a charger per every 4 or 5 EVs. Now it’s 1 per 11. And going in the wrong direction. There has been a lot of coverage even within the EV favourable media outlets. It’s becoming a problem for some people already. And that’s still a tiny tiny minority of EV cars out there. Imagine when we are talking 20M on the roads….I think early adopters can only see how it is now. Rather than imagining 5 cars all competing for one charging point. Not including the fact to we need to generate 10% more than demand to cover transmission losses so the above numbers are on the conservative side. Also 10% charging losses not included. And I've not included lorries and buses because I don't know their miles per kWh. I also used 4 mile per kWh to be optimistic as that is considered very efficient. New electric cars have not dissimilar ranges to ICE vehicles. So surely electric cars will only need to charge as regularly* as cars fill up. But as you say takes longer if we use 30 minutes versus 10 minutes would mean 3x the number of rapid chargers needed as petrol pumps? (Having not been through how many petrol pumps does a service station have 10? 20?)

Just to be clear I'm not anti-EV, I'd love a Tesla Model X as I said in an earlier thread but I am pro-EV-truths and I think this thread is actually helping with some of the topics being discussed like this and helping some ultra pro-EV people just be a bit more honest about things... anyways, I'd like some engagement on....

Best for saving money: Ohme Home Pro (£949)

This chargepoint is very small – just 17.5 cm by 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm, giving it a total size of 2,700 cm³. will actually be lower than the number of petrol cars needing to fill up since many cars will charge overnight** and some will never/rarely need to use rapid chargers. Start the charging session via the RFID card you got when the charger was installed or the E.ON Home app. You can boost or schedule charging with the app. The blue light will flash every 2 seconds. This charger, which is produced in China and licensed to Project EV in the UK, is also known as the ATESS or Growatt, which can make things confusing. I'm not arguing that infrastructure doesn't need improving - it does, and improvement is hit and miss).
