Battery - to take advantage of 2am to 5am cheap rate electricity - v2

Very annoying there isn't a proper v2h charger out there (by proper I mean not €5000) we also have a 40kw leaf just sitting there on the driveway without doing anything where it could be dumping 20kwh a day or more into the grid 😭

Saw that solaredge will release a bidirectional charger later this year but guess what, CCS only.

However, you can now get a chademo to CCS adapter, https://insideevs.com/news/708385/chademo-adapter-youtube-safety/ but I doubt it allows to take power out.

You're paying 1200 for the case and BMS (if going by nkon prices), sounds steep.

Think I paid the same for 3 cases and 3 jkbms 200a from alibaba

Would definitely go for the jk bms with 2A balancing over the other option. Other option is a pace bms with neey balancer. Better value and imo better bms

Completely agree, maybe I worded my post wrong but was saying jk bms would be my preference. Balancing along with bms functions in one over the pace bms and neey.

Things have changed a lot in the last few years. Electricity use is, or will be, very different in a typical household compared to when you were still working in the field. People are moving from combustion cars to EVs (which are mostly charged at home at night) and people are moving from heating their homes and their water with fossil or solid fuels to using electric heat pumps or other electric heating like far infrared panels. Some people have electric showers using 9-10kW each when on. People will have batteries to store cheap and green renewable night electricity to use during the day. People will have solar PV panels on their roofs. I do most of the above, but still have a gas boiler which will be replaced with a heat pump in the next few years

On a personal level, as I said, all my installs are done by a RECI. And thankfully I have Myenergi hardware, which prevents my system overloading because of their built in load balancing. Without it, it is likely my consumer unit 63A fuse, which is standard for houses with a 12kVA MIC (ESB fuse is 80A), would pop

That's a bit of a generic statement. Of course some maybe old or faulty installs would not be up to the task. A 12kVA MIC has an ESB fuse of 80A, which won't pop unless you use well over 20kW. So the ESB disagrees with you.

Can you expand on that drury? I'm not saying your wrong (in fact if anything from my own knowledge I'd in more inclined to agree with you) but I'm wondering why this is a problem NOW as opposed to in the past where we've all had ovens and hobs on, along with radiators/showers (good olde Trition T90 is 9kw - albeit not continuous)

If the MCB (usually 65a) or the main fuse 80A were/are not tripping why is it a problem?. Or let me rephrase that, if it is a problem, are the current ratings set too high? 14kw at a nominal 230v is ~60A

Again, more interested in understanding your viewpoint than siding on any specific side of the debate.
