Can I ask how much it costs to get the software update as have the same issue with the onboard charger with my Zoe. Thanks

Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth... . Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊

Is that what the marketeers term "Stuffed for life". (Unlike modern gearboxes, of course) Seven years and fubarred. I can see the eco arguments. You must have money to burn buster. Don't worry, you're keeping African child slave workers in jobs. My Skoda Fabia ICE still going at 21 years old and in reasonable nick. I don't get it,. How can a 7 seater MPV/SUV be expected to be powered by a 24 Kwh battery and to grow old gracefully ? . If such a vehicle were ICE powered you'd have a 2.5 litre normally aspirated or a 1.8 turbo in it. Evs are like desktop computing, mickey mouse and ill thought out.

For some new micro cars quadrocycles motorbikes, a three pin adaptor is needed and is for sale, but apparently you need to watch the amperage, don't know what say pod point 7kwh at Tesco would be.

My employer decided install proper chargers instead of just letting me use the 3 pin socket "for free". fair enough. only to find out they've installed two Wallboxes that are tethered with type 2 plugs and Wallbox no longer offer type 1 tethers. So, long story short they just dumped it on me to buy an adaptor on behalf of my employer, which on the face of it is fine but they're not compliant with the code of practise. so now it's a case of who's liable if the use of said adaptor causes damage or a failure of the battery or onboard electronics. For now at least I'm not charging the car at work and having to use petrol for half of my commute.

Can you remove the cable or the adapter whilst it’s charging? That isn’t something that is normally possible due to the charger lock when charging is happening

They are OK for temporary use, but I've gone through two with my env200. Maybe I've been unlucky, but eventually, they start smelling of burning.

How you finding the replacment battery in the env200. Perhaps short update video ?

Thanks Ian for uploading i have a ENV 200 van

So amongst all this complication you have a couple more reference points on energy usage. The Electricity supplier app would show daily consumption from the 'grid', which should of course be consistently down now you have solar. Also, you have an In Home Display that shows live usage of both gas and electricity. Switch on a kettle and an oven and see the needle hit red, unless the battery offsets some of the demand. I'd say I hope that helps realising it is more complication, but at least you have a couple of more lots of measurement data.

Great Update i ordered my battery on top of my solar now and hope to get it paid off in 6 years time the solar that I installed 4 years ago is paid off by next year 100% so hoping this battery is as good of an investment also.

Do you have to balance the new ones with the old ones?

Main dealers will rip you off if they get half a chance!

Wow , turns out this ev is so much cheaper to use than a petrol/diesel....

£10k for repairs 86k miles 6.5 years ... you have saved more than that on fuel, sevicing and road tax...

The Honda bumped the other car in the first test!?

What about the insurance? It is now a "modified" vehicle...

Hi, haven't been through all the replies to your vid, but has anyone just suggested you go old school and insert a production meter in line with the AC output lines if that is possible

For checking some of your E clips... I'm pretty sure you are stocked to get the Renault 5. It seems that the new Renault 5 will be everything the Honda E should have been when it was released, range wise at least. (I'm thinking of getting an used Honda E with 16,000 kms for 20k Eur... not sure yet but sounds about right the price for that range)

That top view, looking down on the car, I presume it's a video drone, with the operator in a open top car behind? I hope to get the Scenic E-Tech, 379 miles & it's got everything. All depends on the seat, if good sell my Scenic MK3 9800mls, like new. Offers..

With the repairs its not so much the labour but the parts are so expensive with Renault, if you can get them with older fuel cars.

Failed on your number plates? Where they not secure.

Dont those things have a 10 year 100k mile battery warranty?

What kind of range can you expect when driving on the motorway?

0:58 £10k for a SECOND HAND battery???????? This is one of many reasons while I'll never buy an EV.

cant get this scam app to work

Hmmm, LEDs look out of sequence on your hybrid inverter? Might not matter on the energy cube but on the HV2600 it sometimes indicates an issue. I might be wrong!

Thought occurs what would insurance company say if you have a burn and they ask was it installed by approved installer , I know you likely often know more with your experience , but we all know about insurance companies and the opportunity to say no .

I’m just installing , I want in reality the whole house to be able to run if I go off grid . Teslas suggested but their limitation is you have to choose what you want to run in the event of off grid . Does the ESS allow complete function without having to choose , assuming I have enough cubes ?

I charge my eNV200 40kWh on off peak Octopus intelligent go 11:30 to 5:30 (you've probably found that tariff by now) that would boost your 3.4 kW charge.

What is maximum charge and discharge in your systems?

you put the dip up before adding. Do you need to put that down after you added the two batteries. Also how do you update the firmware?

He Ian,love your videos thanks. Find your self a towbar and a small trailer 👍

The direction arrows on the clamp refer to the live lead between meter and consumer unit. If put on negative lead, the clamp direction must be reversed.

Leaf is way better than Renault zoe. My leaf just did its 7th MOT no single fault. Leaf built quality and reliability is hard to match. Yes battery chemistry could be poor but its fall down to where and how its been used. I still got 81.35% SOH.11bars. 2013 Registered Japan leaf. Amazing and going strong

From all you in chat & Ian, Curious to know what you're charging the cycles are for the daily grind i own a evn200 40kwh & zoe 24kwh, at the moment i set the charge to 75%, this gives me enough for 100miles in the van and 60-70ish in the car, thou i have quoted these miles In reality. the car does 10 miles a day and the van does 40 miles a day, The van displays full bars on the health thing. As I haven't gotten OBD reader, I will have to presume this is accurate.

@IanSampsonRLO you should pin the update video to this one - the bad news is still the runaway success, and got pushed again into my feed without the good news response video showing up.

interesting, is this site still active?

Why do people in Europe complain so much? It's all complaining god it's unbearable

Did you sort out your iboost? i’ve got exactly the same problem, done everything suggested in the comments, but didn’t work

Ian - you'd better get that room cleaned up before the wife sees it 😉

Leafs are the best

If only it had just a litte bit more range… Like 5-7kWh more, it’d be a much more useable 2nd car for us

Amazing news! I've only just come across this today! 24 to 40kWh for £5k, and a new lease of life for another 8-10 years I suppose? Fingers crossed! On another note, the comments section for this video seems to have less of the luddites from your original... Funny that, can't deal with a positive story right? Just like when they realise that not every vehicle fire is an EV or something like that

Could you please give Eds details, as i need to do this swap✅

Pleased to hear you got it sorted for a good price. I have now upgraded from my 22 Kwh Zoe to a ZE50 Iconic EV50. Totally different beast and three times the range. You must now have the longest range ENV200.

Sounds like you've bought an absolute pile of garbage and had it fitted by cowboys. I'm stressed, you must be tearing your hair out😢

FYI your charge at 10p/kWh doesn't work out as your import rate as you're not adding in the losses from the battery & inverter which workout at 12% give or take. So charge at 10p/kWh costs 11.2p/kWh discharging. Considering tracker at approx 18p/kWh you're only saving 7p/kWh but you've spent over £20k on batteries. For most consumers this doesn't make sense, but if you're a higher user it may, but Octopus Tracker does put a big dent in break even date. That said, I do love your set up, so jealous
