  16. Current range that it charges to is between 55 - 65 KM. Range is calculated after every recharge and is based on previous trip conditions. The battery pack is a standard 24kWh pack and a new pack will give you 180 KM range in summer and around 160 KM in winter. That is for moderate driving. Our long term average for over 2 years of driving is 7.5 KM / KWh (That works out at around 40 cents / km charging from the grid in Cape Town)
  17. Mostly PV in Summer.

  23. @BritishRacingGreenyou have inspired me to attempt a repair on a faulty Growatt SPF 5000 ES inverter. With MPPT board removed and only battery connected i noticed surface arcing around the Ceramic caps and the DC to DC Bus Side IGBT's located on the bottom of the middle heat sink. There is a fair amount of black dust on the board and some moisture on the fan unit and on the board. All the IGBT's and Mosfets test ok on the diode test function so hoping that damage is limited or best case no damage. Inverter came up with warning error 62. Please advise what is the best way to clean the board.
