So... 4pm Sunday has come and gone. It has been cool (good for photovoltaics) and sunny (also good for photovoltaics). I've been looking at what I'm generating, and I'm more than impressed! I've been getting something like 1.5kw from the panels, which means nearly 60% efficiency.

I've also discovered that lots of the segments on the solar inverter's LCD display are not working. That makes it rather hard to read! At first I thought I was only getting 500w, but all the segments for the digit before that are dead.


Impressive!

Since I got it in August, last year, I've loved my Nissan Leaf. Electric vehicles work.

I got a bit underwhelmed with the range. A hundred miles is pretty OK, but just a bit irritating at times.

The satnav is five years out-of-date, and they want £95 to update it. Stupid.

Even though it has four cameras, giving a 360 degree view around the car, that's pretty useless in poor weather. I managed to wreck my front bumper on a concrete planter.

Well, I've gone a bit self-indulgent. I get my Tesla 3 in just under a week.

I have a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV and my aspie daughter has a 2016 LEAF. Good to see another EVer here. Maybe a Tesla will be next for me too.

Not telling.
Would like to order something hot; it has been cold here and rained yesterday.
Perhaps a bowl of cheddar cheese soup?
Or chili?
