My old Zappi is just set in fast mode (which makes it a dumb charger) and I control the car. I can't remember what EV you're driving but can you control that instead of the Zappi. Several people I know who control their charger instead of their car has a shit time with it... Not just Zappi either.

The Tesla Gateway does support 3-phase but not for backup as there's no way to bridge the batteries together, they're not all running in phase when the power drops so it's probably not as simple as having load switches to connect them all together.

Thank you, I've been really busy with work for ages and that's going to continue to be the case for at least the next couple of months. I'll try and be around a bit more often!

27kWh of L1 and 13.5kWh on each of L2/L3. Remember I lose those other two phases in an outage so added the 4th battery to L1 to double my power outage backup.

I can't see any updates whenI refresh, it's saying it's over a day old so I'm not sure your changes have actually been published?

I think you may have missed the point, you have factual errors in your letter, attributing statements to a person who didn't make them. You really should get these corrected so there's no way this person can come at you for false claims about things they've said.

β€˜A real mess’: splits emerge in Labour over supreme court’s gender ruling Growing number of MPs are questioning Keir Starmer’s claim that ruling has brought β€˜clarity’ to issue

Amazingly some MPs now don’t believe Starmer that the SC ruling brought β€˜clarity’. Funny that!

Trans Athletes: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Trans Athletes: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

People wanting to ban trans athletes in this country could do with watching this video and maybe then they’ll get some perspective as to how ridiculous this has become.

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL] - Lords' votes in Parliament - UK Parliament Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Is this something we should be worried about? It looks like the data bill amendment that was defeated in parliament has now passed in the House of Lords?

Gender critical staff network launched at Metropolitan Police A staff network dedicated to gender critical views has launched at the Metropolitan Police, PinkNews can exclusively reveal.

Great so the metropolitan police are openly allowing bigotry... When are they going to start the homophobic staff network? Or maybe they should have a racist staff network?

Yet another attack on trans people. This time an amendment to the Data Bill which will force all trans people to out themselves when they need to show ID. @pluslibdems.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social

Yes the problem isn't that he's been spending too much time doing government stuff, it's what he's been doing both before the election and as part of that government has made people realise what an utter toxic cunt he is, and that is what is hurting Tesla, not his lack of focus on it.

By trying to obtain a trade deal with Trump Starmer is colluding in Trump's divide and conquer tactics.

The UK should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our democratic partners in Europe, not undermining democracy by collaborating with Trump.

Just a reminder that that letter that you meant to write your MP?

It’s even more urgent today.

Or, write a second.

Starmer’s claims that he wants to β€œlower the temperature” about trans rights ring hollow when he’s standing next to the oven with his hand on the dial cranking the heat up and trans people are the ones in the pan

I've used the women's toilets every single day for over ten years

I use women's toilets for the same reason you do, the same reason your mum does, the same reason your daughter does

I'm not going to stop now or ever. I refuse to be a second class citizen

I can't believe I need to say this here but the same crap behaviour happens here too.

In my profile I explicitly state not to DM me unless I know you. A follow back DOES NOT constitute knowing you.

If you send me an unsolicited DM and I don't know you I WILL block you.

It is a Vaillant Arotherm+ and yes they can be a little optimistic I think but mine is a very optimal setup. Designed for 35C flow temp at -3C outside temp so the high SCoP isn't unexpected. I should get a proper heat meter installed alongside it really to get more accurate figures.

It's not unreliable just not quite as accurate as a dedicated external heat meter.

The results are in for our ASHP for 2024. We have a combined SCoP of 4.4 (heating + HW) for the whole year which I am happy with. If we exclude hot water the SCoP is 4.7. I will caveat this with this is built in monitoring.

I meant to post this sooner but 2025 has started a bit busier than hoped!
