<< The lady in engineering dept she said I could remotely disconnect you no problem...Checkmate>> Looks like Eric is being economical with the truth when it comes into how the Electric Power supply companies can remotely terminate a customers service. Says there are devices called "interrupters" as well. Wonder what they are used for apart from interrupting a customers service ? Mind you the USA has natural power "interrupters" too. As soon as the wind blows, finally turning over the near useless Wind Turbines, a tree gets blown over and inconveniently falls through a local above ground power line. Leaves everyone stuck with $100k+ vehicles in places they don't want to be. EV's maybe mandatory but the message is clear. Get a "Range Extender" for emergency power requirements and a diesel heater fitted to the vehicle interior in case the heaters fail during a cold spell. I don't even know why this has not been already decided as the fix for now ? Geepers. it's painful to watch the USA going up this EV learning curve. The consolation prize is the num nuts in Europe are even worse.
