This may be a factor of the insulation standards of the average house in the area. Heat pumps require a high standard of insulation otherwise heat loss would cancel out a fair degree of the heating efficiency. You'd generally find insulation standards in Nordic regions to be of a very high standard for obvious reasons.
The extent to which this is specific to heat pumps is overstated - low insulation is a problem however you heat your house. As I say, in the electrification of heat programme they found 15% of houses needed extra insulation (mostly just loft) before installing a heat pump.
Heat loss through walls and floors is also a major factor. And relatively much more expensive to fix.
Sure - but in general you don't need to fix it before installing a heat pump, based on the EoH project we're talking 1 house in 50, something like that. (I forget the exact number but it was hardly any).
Well that's me sorted then - we've got a diesel car which is much more likely to self combust than an EV although the blaze might not last as long as the expected rain will soon douse the fire.
Good point and as its now too late to remove previous heating posts can i ask members to open a new thread if they want to discuss heating and allow this one to get back on topic of EV's, thanks.
Yep, 6 months in only thing I done to mine is replace headlight bulbs as they failed upgrade to led is awesome. Great little car the reverse camera on mine fails does not bother me has good mirrors
Have a look at the Tesla subscription so you can use Tesla's SC network.
The superchargers have a similar issue to the charging network in general - they don't have enough at the hotspots between major destinations, so they don't open them up to non-Tesla owners.
Just don't get a VW they are going back to ice, that's if they don't shut down all together
Does that mean AUDI will also go?Just don't get a VW they are going back to ice, that's if they don't shut down all together
It must be a bit serious , the main man Olaf is starting to stick his oar in
And Skoda, Seat, Cupra, Bentley, Lamborghini…
