InstaVolt extends off-peak charging hours from 20:00-07:00. This must make it very appealing to anybody who doesn't have AC charging options... some of our neighbours just charge once a week at the council charger -this will provide a alternative option nearby with two more charging bays and more reliability.

This makes a lot of sense for them: I've already invested the capital in the chargers and back-end systems, this should keep the chargers busy during quiet times and if it causes some people to reschedule their charging -that provides more capacity at peak times.

Petrol stations never reduce their fuel prices at offbeat times or when it is sunny or windy.

This is a *great* conversation. Recommend! #UK #NetZero

Banking for next winter #solar #nem #Netmetering #netzero #renewables

This winter's polar vortex BS was bad. We exited winter with only 700kWh in the net metering bank.

"About £80m of #GBE cash will pay for 200 schools in England to install #solarpanels, while £100m will go to 200 NHS sites, with estimated lifetime savings of as much as £400m over 30 years."

Karla Denyer makes a good point on tonight's #Peston

"Why, if a recent poll shows 75% of #Conservative voters want to see #Green policies, is #Badenoch rowing back on Theresa May's 2050 #NetZero committments?"

"Tory leader provides no evidence to support position that flies in face of expert reports and her own words."

#NetZero (#NotZero) #UKPol

Tories are going to drop their 2050 #netzero commitments because they wish to ape Reform's policy here.

On 24 June 2019, without a single objection, Conservative MPs passed legislation that committed the UK to a legally binding target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

This legal commitment was the only half decent thing May ever did

Shameful how they have moved away from this

#Conservative party to ditch commitment to #NetZero in #UK by 2050

Why that isn't a surprise to me is because l'm confident that most leaders are not the right people for the sustainability task (they're too dam ignorant & too dam biased)

The #science is clear. Not quickly reducing greenhouse gas emissions is tantamount to Involuntary
manslaughter (causing many deaths) But, folk burn harmful fuels in their vehicles everyday & eat meat, without considering the environmental
consequences.

In essence, politicians are abandoning the responsibility to reduce pollution for their own childrens, & children's children future (as they are the unsustainable business as usual culture, including farming agricultural animals for meat)

But, that's a sign of the times #Plutocracy

Just checked with my energy provider—there’s still capacity left in my neighborhood for a heavier connection! Looks like upgrading from single phase to three phases is an option!
