We don't run our batteries down below 70% full charge, so have three days of storage before they have to be topped up. So far the sun appears or the clouds lighten enough to keep the batteries up fine. I only use heavy loads like power tools when the weather permits and I know that the batteries will be topped up before sun down. We are just trying to get away from fossil fuel usage. So far we have ditched gas, so now are trying to ditch petrol where possible. Considering how complicated car manufacturers want to make their machines these days, we may have to make our own EV. I definitely don't want heated seats, apple or google play, radar sensors, or any other rubbish. I just want a simple car, so far it does not look like any manufacturers are doing that. Cheers Pete
