Good job we don’t have an ELECTRIC CAR ‘!!!
What will happen we have to have one WORRYING
You will back feed your house from your electric car and ride the power cut out without interruption. Electric cars don’t run on a huge trailing lead you know.
You have to unplug before you set off
Yes it’s a worry but SSEN will be found out yet again totally inept. If they can’t cope now then what chance when everything will be electric.
God help us can’t see anything but disaster waiting to happen
The whole island will grind to a halt in 10 years time
The surge has fried my combi boiler.I’m wondering if I can claim damages!!
