Charging an MG ZS EV Electric Car with DIY Off Grid, Stand Alone Solar System in Australia Vid fixed

Thanks for visiting and welcome to the YouTube channel for Aussies looking for independent, honest advice and comment from a local electric car owner.

Living in sunny Queensland we'll put you behind the wheel to experience what owning an EV is really like as an everyday driver.

In this video we provide an overview of our DIY stand alone, off grid solar system we use to charge our electric car. The solar system is 'old school' lead acid storage so capable of working totally independent of the grid and doesn't need internet access. We show each part of the system, how it performs and what to keep an eye out for if you’re thinking of doing the same. It can be done and we love being able to drive around using free energy from the sun we generate ourselves, even if the grid is down.

We've been putting our Aussie model MG ZS EV through its paces and have lots of videos in the pipeline which we hope will be helpful for everyone thinking of buying an EV and particularly the ZS EV.

If you enjoyed the video, and it's your first time visiting our Aussie EV channel, hit the subscribe button and the ‘Bell’ icon so you'll be the first to know when another video hits the internet.

If you think we're worthy of a share, pass the link to the video onto your friends if they also have an interest in saving the world and going electric....we think saving the world is the best bit and saving $$ over time is a bonus.

Until we meet again; stay safe, be good and have an electrified 2021.
