The Electric Vehicle Thread

Don’t get so defensive. Brand new cars shouldn’t be in and out of the garage all the time. You buy a brand new car so there’s no issues.

Cost of charging puts the brakes on Britain’s electric car switch

well done Eamon Ryan on keeping it at .52cents in Ireland

A dispute has arisen between two close neighbours regarding the noise created by one of their electric cars whilst charging at night. Keeping people awake.

I had to check there as I was unaware but seeming cooling fans turn on and can cause a bit of a whining noise. Depending on xyz.

It’s getting quiet serious but it’s a company car and there isn’t much the other lad can do about it.

Ive never heard an ev charge make a noise

It’s well known issue.

Yes, home chargers dont make noise

It’s the car that makes the noise.

Whixh EVs make a noise charging

Is Whixh a new brand of EV?

Have a google and educate yourself.

There’s a setting within the car that can control the intensity of the cooling fans while charging. If he bothered to look it could be resolved in an instant

Could he put a timer switch on the plug to make sure it comes on at say 2 in the morning when people are unlikely to be kept awake by it?

Living in an urban area must be awful

The fans cool the battery, so if you turn down the fans the charging period will increase. I’m sure they’ve looked at that.

It has its advantages. Some people don’t even need a car.

Can you imagine that?
