UK Don't boil the kettle while charging your electric car because it will blow the fuse, National Grid warns

wrote: Don't boil the kettle while charging your electric car because it will blow the fuse, National Grid warns Electric car owners have been warned that if they attempt to boil a kettle while charging their car it will blow the fuse. The National Grid expressed concerns that an average size 3.5kW battery charger would take 19 hours to fully charge a car battery, even when it is 25 per cent full. A "thought piece" document obtained by the Financial Times warned that a more powerful 11kW device would still take six hours to charge a car battery and during that time, the use of everyday items such as kettles and ovens would blow the fuse. "The average household is supplied with single phase electricity and is fitted with a main fuse of 60-80 amps," the National Grid said. Replace with larger fuse. Duh. - - "We CAN hide forever." - Klaun ****tinb'ricks (1940 - ), acknowledging that he will NEVER prove where he infests or give his real jew name Iudaei orbem terrarum infestant. - correct Latin "Die Juden sind unser Unglück!" - Heinrich von Treitschke (1834 - 1896) "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the jews, and I did not speak out because I did not give a ****. Then they came for me and there wasn't a single commie ******* left to speak for me." - Martin Niemöller (1892 - 1984) Illuc nisi Dei gratia vadam. - Revd Terence Fformby-Smythe (? - ) |
