It's only just dawned on me that a fair number of my followers might not know what the hashtag #totp means and probably think I regularly have some kind of turettes type episode from 9pm onwards

One first gen, base spec CD and Bluetooth only #nissanleaf brought kicking and screaming up to date with a €65 Android Auto display.

Works very well if you pair everything through Bluetooth, it'll retain steering controls as well.

If only LeafSpy had AA support, but you can get around that by screen sharing.

If it wasn't for the fact I'd drunk too much to safely handle an angle grinder and Mrs Flan would have probably battered me with a selection of heavy tools, this could have very likely had been parked on my drive this morning.

Oh well, back to struggling to load up the car with building materials again.

"Calls have been made for ambulances to be based at fire stations in Ennis, Kilrush and Shannon, to mirror the system that currently operates in Dublin."

To put this into perspective, if you have a medical emergency in Kilrush the nearest A&E to deal with you is in Limerick over an hour (80km) away

@linuxgnome Absolutely not, plenty of places around the globe that have the equipment to recycle them, just the demand isn't there at the moment to make it "economically viable", plenty of #ev batteries currently being repurposed to use for home storage when they're considered EOL for personal transport. Given the lifespan of an LFP battery is around 20 years we have plenty of time to get the infrastructure to handle them when they do become EOL https://battery-news.de/en/2025/03/28/battery-recycling-in-europe-as-of-march-2025/ @junesim63

It seems Madeira is not just where old Puntos go to retire, a late models Renault 4 sporting R5 alloy wheels painted black for the full street sleeper look

For a solar array that's supposed to be 5kw, the angle of my dangle and the cold weather is really producing a large amount.
Also I think I need to look into a more accurate forecasting add-on.
Forecasted amount for today was supposed to be 8.7kwh, I generated 20.5kwh and sent 17.7kwh back to the grid.
If I was at home and not sunning in foreign climes I could have stuck that in one of the cars.

Final post Aimed squarely at the "replacement batteries in an EV aren't worth it" folks. The current battery in the Leaf gives it around 100km range, replacing it with a €5k'ish 40kwh replacement will bring that range up to around 250km and probably outlast me https://vivnevs.com/products/nissan-leaf-aze0-40kwh-50kwh-62kwh-battery-upgrade-lithium-ion-battery-module-battery-pack?VariantsId=12935

To add to this Currently our space heating is by coal, not the greatest, but for spewing shite into the air it's our "cleanest" option compared to wood or turf, we've spent just under €2k on it, so after 3 years the heat pump would have paid for itself, something you can't say about an oil or propane fuelled heating system. Upshot of all this is, next time someone asks you what the ROI is on moving over to renewables just ask them the same question about their fossil fueled equivalents

They really should fence the area off, too many people don't realise how dangerous it is there, and it's only going to get worse with climate change

This years plan Add a further 5kWp SW array (about €1.2k) and a heat pump (around €4k for a 7kw unit) and a third EV for the teen that's currently learning to drive, we'll then finally get off the fossil fuels merry go round, all on track for it all to have paid for itself in about 5 years, transport side might take longer, our 10 year old Leaf is showing no signs of dying and saves around €1.8k a year in fuel and servicing I'll probably just replace the battery in around 5 years.

March solar stats

South facing 5kwp array, 5kw inverter and 2x15kWh batteries in the west of Ireland

Solar total 363.2 kWh
Grid Import 405.5 kWh
Grid Export 239.4 kWh
Grid total 166.1 kWh

Imported energy cost €23.32
Exported energy return €58.12
Total energy cost -€34.80

I'll endeavour to get all the data into a spreadsheet so I don't have to copy and paste stuff, which is a pain on a mobile phone.
