I have. It does happen sometimes. Then it's locked and the only option is to ring them. They know it happens sometimes. They explained to me why.

And under payments?

That's true. The other stuff should be available. Not sure how easy that is technically though. They would have to be routed through to another URL

No way could you train that many extra staff and the system would not work as the booking has to hold from you selecting your options to payment. It would end up in double or treble booking. The logistics of such a scale up would never work and the benefit would be tiny.

Not so much if you are Iranian.

It's not cheap for a T shirt . It's definitely expensive. football kits, or any other type of branded stuff? They are expensive too. I guess expensive is a subjective view. I think it's expensive.

Considering the OP. A bit of thread drift. I am not the only guilty party.

Well my experience is different. Maybe I have just been unlucky. I understand that more than 75% of chargers are home chargers. The limitations of home electricity supplies will be an issue but like you say they can be left overnight (unless you have 3 cars of course).

Fair point. Fitting a bigger capacity charger doesn't necessarily mean you will oberload your power supply but I get what you mean.

Power is one of the limiting factors? Peace offering.

I never said you advised anyone to overload their supply. You have repeatedly said the power available in not important. It is. I am not and never have been wrong. The answer to your question - The same. The rate of charge is governed at the car end.

It could be that they took the decision way back (arguably wrongly) to leave it to the last minute and fix the pedestrian access last, as it wouldn't be a hard job to rustle something up.

The charger doesn't know if its public or private. The same rule applies to any charging point. All electrical distribution systems have the equivalent of an electrical panel which contains fuses and they all have a finite capacity. The main limiting factor for installing EV Chargers will be your electrical panel's allowable ampacity Quiz Question for you. 1) Charlie has been given the job fitting a charging point for EVs in a sea terminal car park. He was told to make is a fast charger. In the first place he asked the local electricity supplier what the maximum load he could get at that point was 32KW. He wants 50KW for the charger he wants to fit. Does Charlie? a) Fit a 32KW charger as that's the maximum he can get b) Ignore the electricity supplier and listen to the advice of @A fool and his money..... and @Anthony Ingham and fit a 50KW because the power available it not important. c) Ask the electricity supplier if he can upgrade the electricity supply to the terminal by connecting to a nearby transmission line.

Reference What Size EV Charger Can I Install? Most people want the maximum amount of power to charge their vehicle. This requires putting in the highest amperage charger @ 240V. The main limiting factor for installing EV Chargers will be your electrical panel's allowable ampacity. The Electrical Code has rules for how many loads can be placed within a home based on its square footage and primary/large loads such as Ranges, Air Conditioners, Electric Heaters, Hot Tubs etc. To determine your home's available ampacity, Kuby Energy will conduct a Load Calculation. Many homes can put in a 20A or 30A charger with no upgrades, but many homes are at their existing amp limits with no EV charger. To get more ampacity, a Service Upgrade or an Electric Vehicle Management System will be required. A service upgrade will mean reinstalling the electrical lines from the utility companies transformer to your main electrical panel (ex. going from a 100A main bkr to a 200A main bkr). Service upgrades will vary depending on whether you have an underground or overhead service and what size service you desire. Typical fees for this may be in the $2,000 to $8,000 range. An EV Management System is a device which limits what loads can be on simultaneously - for example, if your EV charger is operating, you cannot turn on your range (or other equivalent large load). EV Management systems are typically more affordable than Service Upgrades, however, they may have lifestyle-limiting impacts and won't provide any extra ampacity for future electrical expansions.

You can fuck off. You dont know your arse from your elbow.

I feel completely isolated.

And if crazy Dave doesn't start agreeing soon , I am going to socket to him.

I dont have the power.

The views are polarised.

I absolutely agree and understand.

All I have ever said is the chargers cannot make power that isnt there. Its will always be true.

I didnt say they weren't. Lithium charging is well established though isnt it?

I know what you re saying but not 100% with you. I think it's the battery technology that has improved more so than the chargers. The charger just applies an electrical current. Sure its tuned to the battery and there is some decent technology there. But batteries. Wow. They have changed immeasurably. I mean you can start a car with a battery the size of a phone. Its charges from 5v USB socket. You can get them for £20 off Ebay. Now that's technology and technology that does not rewrite the laws of physics.

Ha Ha. Other way round matey boy. WTF does get it. You dont. Even your terminology isnt right.
