Yep Mike, how handy would a solar generator be, when on a campsite with no electric at the pitch, especially if you are only going to be there for a day or so, longer term I doubt that the solar panels would keep the battery fully topped up, but better than nothing I guess.
If I ever get around to owning a BEV, I will certainly be hooking up a small inverter to the 12v battery, something around 600watt would suit my need.
With BEV’s the 12v regular car battery is used for the electronics, and is kept topped up by the main 450v battery that is used for the motors, with a fully charged BEV that would keep a camping EHU going for a good while.
The new Honda E BEV already comes with a 230v ac outlet built into the car, brilliant bit of design by a Honda and all BEV’s should come with the same.

Yep, blueexpo97 the transition is going to take a good number of years, but it is moving along at a decent pace, once the fleets start getting BEV’s in big numbers it will be a couple of years later when those cars filter down into the used market and become affordable to joe blogs.
I have never understood why a private individual would buy a brand new car, the thing depreciates by around 20% as soon as it leaves the forecourt.
When we had BMW Series auto One Shadows at work they had a P11D value of £31k, we kept the cars for four months, and we would hand them back with 7k miles on the clock, they would then go into storage for around 8 months, and finally end up as a used sale at Motorpoint for £14k as a one year one owner, low mileage BMW. at better than half the price of a new one, and pretty much the same goes on for all other makes and models of cars, I guess only mugs buy brand new cars, or folk with more money than sense.
