[QUOTE="revor, post: 522945, member: 23254"] As soon as we get small BEV's on the market with a bit more range we intend to get one. We have a 6Kw array and 10Kw battery. I wondered if having this set up would influence the type/make of the 7Kw charger we should specify. I would be keen to be able to charge the EV from the excess solar that would be going to export. As this would vary with what the sun is producing and with what we are consuming is it possible to charge a vehicle in this way without making up from the grid. In other words can an EV be charged with a variable input into the charger. It would also be useful to be able at some point to use the EV battery as backup to the solar battery although I think at moment this is limited to certain vehicles In one my agricultural outbuildings ( I live on a smallholding) I have 3 P on a business tariff and is separate from the PV and house, so wondered if a back up fast charger is something I should consider. From what I can work out I could have a 50KW charger but expect they are pretty expensive. My 3P distribution board needs upgrading so something I could combine with a charger. [/QUOTE]
