    And that speed is not something that you will get 100% of the time. As battery temperature & state of charge effect the speeds.

    Little puzzled at getting 3 phase for free. According to my sources (Lloyds NERS contractor) single phase supply is standard on most properties, 3 phase only being fitted where there is a specific requirement, a lift for example.

    Cost of installing a 3 phase supply is around £4K and you would have to pay for termination/removal of the single phase supply.
    Some older houses do have a 3 phase supply but two of them are capped.

    Many DNOs are upgrading people when they have a requirement for > 100A, particularly when they have something like am ASHP.
