In May 2024 I took your advice and decided to switch from PodPoint to #Zappi.
Because we already had most wiring it cost us £990 fitted.
Switching from OG to IOG & outgoing fixed at 15p/kWh v 8p/kWh we have already made back £350 of the cost.
🌞🌞🌞 means almost a MWh exported in 25 already.
Thanks!

You should visit Fanal Forest in Madeira if you haven’t done so already.

Here we go.
US markets already responding & Tesla shares dropping yet again.
Trump has no way of coping with any retaliation to his bullying.

Dear @mrjamesob.bsky.social your employers posted this was an electric vehicle. Hours later, despite many comments & London Fire Brigade stating it was a diesel, their post still stands.

I don’t think this is going as planned.

Well, that would be lovely!

Our best solar day so far in 2025. Generating 20kWh more than we imported overnight to fill the batteries & power appliances & heaters. #solar #solarpower #renewableenergy

Why did you publish this article by Aneesa Ahmed which contains clear misinformation about BEV sales?
Really disappointed in a news source I usually trust.
Car sales slumped generally in 2024?but BEV sales rose.
Stop publishing about fears of charging infrastructure without evidence (lacking)

My new word #Trumponomics
Like #Trussonomics but just many times bigger & more cataclysmic.

I am so disappointed that this 💩 has found Blue Sky

I say to my Australian friends “how are you?”
“”Awesome, awesome”. I mean genuinely in a non-ironic way.
“How was yesterday?”
“Awesome mate, today is going to be awesome”
“What are you doing tomorrow?”
“I don’t know; picking up stones in the rain. It’s going to be awesome”.

A seemingly never ending January is nearly over.
Dealing with #SAD by virtual jogging around sunny cities around the world.
On a rare sunny day watching the sunlight creeping down the oak trees indicating our #solarpanels are now generating .
Spring is nearly here.

Biting wind but that bit of blue sky is helping my #SAD & all those free electrons mean we can heat the house & our local onshore & offshore wind turbines with be happy. Happy if the weather stays like this rather than the dreadful anticyclonic gloom #dunkelflaute

A real rarity; a beautiful red sky at night. Calm before the storm.

The wording of this headline sends shivers down my spine. ‘Team Trump’, ‘revenge’, meddling. It feels like the Mail is now the mouthpiece for the right wing of US politics as well as the U.K.
I find this extremely alarming.

The utter chaos on the roads of East Sussex has been caused by 6.5cm of #snow.

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

There is a really strange blue colour to the sky today. Can’t remember seeing it before. Hope it’s nothing to worry about! #wintersun

Commenting on here as I have locked down my X account.
7.335MWh. Dec not surprisingly worst month 115kWh so far (Dec 23 was 114kWh). 59% exported earning £646 pounds. 41% consumed saving £212 at OIG off peak rate. Hoping 2025 will have less #dunkelflaute, but hey #climatechange

Hi you might want to look at the appalling way passengers on EZY6360 FNC-LGW have been treated.
8h 6m after due departure, 21m after revised time after spare crew flown in & not a word. One half empty A321 has flow 1.5h ago.
