This week I'm going to run through some of the more exotic and high-end (or just interesting) electric cars that were on display at the Fully Charged show this year. Let's kick off with a celebrity - a Ford Mustang Mach-E. This particular one has just been in the news for breaking records including
Most of our time at Fully Charged was, naturally, spent on our stand telling potential customers about the benefits of solar and battery storage. However, there was still time to go exploring around the show and I began by heading towards the main EV sales area. Here the most popular electric cars were on
We're just back from the Fully Charged show and had a great time!

We look into the innovations and the growing challenges of storing energy produced by renewable sources. As the energy sector moves increasingly towards green transition, new challenges are emerging. One of the main disadvantages of renewable energy sources – their dependence on potentially inconsistent weather – is thus drawing attention to energy storage systems, which
[Update February 2024: Note this is an old blog post - most recent Zappis come with a built-in Hub so it is no longer necessary to go through the process covered below]We install quite a lot of myEnergi's Zappi electric vehicle charge points as they are well suited to charging an EV from solar panels,
How a home battery system gets charged up from solar and the grid.
[Today we have the pleasure of publishing a guest post from Amandine Alexandre, who is a journalist and copywriter - more details are below the article] Last month, I switched energy supplier to avoid a significant tariff hike. Guess what? This week, my new supplier has informed me that it was increasing its electricity tariff.
Solar panels and electric vehicles go together (ironically!) like a horse and carriage. Lots of people who get solar panels installed then go on to buy an electric vehicle (EV) and similarly it is well known that about a third of EV owners have solar on their homes. Of course they go together well
We have just revised the prices across our range of PowerBanx home battery systems.

While solar panels can provide free electricity for your home, not so well known is that they can also heat your water for free! Any electricity that is generated by solar panels is used immediately within the home. However, if you are generating more electricity than you are using, which happens often (particularly if
