Re: ENOVA 12v Battery Charger

Hi Peter - No, MB did actually make some Electric A class cars, but using the ZEBRA Sodium Nickel Chloride battery - there's a film on youtube somewhere. I almost went down that route myself, but all the used batteries were well beyond their sell-by date.
Best price I've seen in UK is around £1 per Ah /cell - for Winston type cells - these are quite heavy in comparison to the pouch modules. The modules clamp together with some threaded rod through each corner. If only I could make contact with the maker
No need to worry about high voltage on car switching - I hope to have everything opto-isolated. This is a must, as the nominal battery voltage is 300v.
As for HMG collecting revenue - no problem there ! They'll just wait until we're all signed up for the EV thing - then tax us for the privilege.
Mind you, if the condition of the roads gets any worse, we will all be back to good old 'four-legs'.
The Grid will cope. Industry will not allow any shortfall which will affect their bottom line. There's still Nuclear, Ocean current generators etc. ..... or maybe we should just have nuclear batteries in our cars ?
Will be in touch later ....... Steve
