ahhh - will try again, cheers

Had a good look around that battery megastore, some interesting packs on there, but price isn't keen on a lot of them!

Cheers guys, confirmation enough for me. Paul, when you say leisure batteries, I assume you mean golf cart type packs? I've just phoned a place associated with that linked company, requested batteries suitable for leisure applications and got a resounding "huh?" :lol: Will have to try some...

My boss has just completely re-wired his house, layed power to and wired an outbuilding. It cost him £200 to have the work signed off by the local BC department (they want to see first and second fix). That's interesting - I'm doing a major renovation and extension at the moment, and while the B...

I'm glad I'm blissfully unawares of it then Probably best. A more in depth description - you are no longer allowed to carry out many forms of wiring in a house unless you are "part P qualified" (i.e. an electrician that has paid the local council several £k for a piece of paper). Certa...

thanks bob, you have confirmed one of my fears, but then also maybe answered them too. My EV will be used for very short runs only (6 miles per day total) the only reason I was looking for the higher capacity was a: for those occasional "jaunts" and b: because getting it to the charging po...

And dont forget doing almost any electrical work in your own home is now covered by Part P :roll: ChrisB Some of us are blissfully unaware as to what Part P is something to do with taking the P... ? Part P: Ensuring tax generation under the pseudonym of safety legislation. Cynical, moi?!

well they have signed several large contracts so I'd be somewhat surprised (and disappointed!) if they don't work. I can however well believe they would be very expensive! My interest was more from a technical side of how they have achieved the (claimed) figures - as an amateur motor builder I like ...

Whilst at a family party at the weekend I got chatting to my uncle about my electric vehicle dreams, only to be informed that PML Flightlink are about a mile from his house! Unfortunately yet to find a relative who works there that could put a word in with the bosses to let a motor go to a MOP. :lol...

Jimminy Christmas that is small! it's amazing how reality kicks in when you can see things in scale. I'm very keen to see how this goes but I must say the size does really start to make me wonder if it's up to the job but then when you look at an ICE and break it down to the single piston that 's f...
