Hi Mel, we are still very happy with your advice to buy the EV adapter!
With our ANWB-chargecard, (sistercompagny to the British AA) we managed to charge our leasurebattery this winter in the Netherlands and Germany and worked fabulous.
2 weeks ago we tryed to charge with the same ANWB chargepass in France, Spain and Portugal but couldnt get acces to those chargepoints.😢
I might have to look out for a chargepass that also works in those country's but we dont want to pay a fee for conscription like with the ANWB chargepass.
Think that we all have to look into that so you dont get stuk come wintertime in Europe.
Funny thing was that just prior to your video on this EVplug, i bought us a British plug to convert to the Dutch plug when we went to visit London in the last weekend of February to celebrate posthumously the marriage of mascha's deceased parents.
With the EV plug it would have been so much more easier😅
Never used the British plug, still lin our van waiting for another visit to the UK.😊
Have a nice summer and love your videos, keep 'm coming❤
Greetings from Carlo & Mascha
#waffelonawednesday quick question: how did you get your curtains back for you windows since you placed the flares on the sides of your van? Could you show us please?
In USA I use an AVC2 to turn on the EVSE at the Charge Station and then charge up all my batteries, don't have a Bluetti - just some Valence 12v batteries and a NOCO battery charger.
Mostly, I charge house and traction packs from rooftop Solar.
Thank you that’s really interesting 🤔 it’s given me an idea 💡 👍🤓👍
Can this charge a bluetti with this adapter in us? Ty so much.
So you can't say the names of other power pack anymore then Mel 😂😂 only buletti 😅
Morning Mel, I’ve been using my Bluetti AC 180 for a week now can’t fault it absolute fantastic piece of kit 👍😮
Great to hear! 👍🤓👍
Nice birds! My Dolce, a blonde mini dachshund was chasing a bunch of squirrels around. Anyway, I have the AC180 and love it so far. I just watched your test and the clips was just great. Thanks.
Thank you 🙏
Great piece of kit Mel 👍If this gets too popular and EV drivers start complaining, waiting for a charge (I read in some of the comments that some wouldn't be so courteous) signs will go up, EV drivers only or face prosecution/fine...cameras catching reg plate numbers. The few, will yet again spoil it for the rest 🙄
For this to last, curtesy and common sense goes a long way I recon.
Hi Mel, just a quick note, the prices have doubled since you made this video, also the smaller power packs take hours to charge, so you may as well use some of that 7kW the charge point can provide to cook your breakfast... by plugging your hob in and any other power packs you have. 👍😊
Haha that’s a brilliant idea 👍😂👍
Ever thought about becoming a salesman for Bluetti?......... Oh, you are! 😂
Haha 😂
@@procatprocat9647the thing is though these are in the top two best battery packs in the world so it's not like he's advertising BS he's literally advertising arguably the best battery pack money can buy lol
BLUETTI and BLUETIT - Bizarre they are anagrams of each other.🤭 Reminds me of the time I parked my camper in NEWARK and there was a ****** knocking on my door! 🤣😂
Oh wow this is an old video that I had forgotten about thanks for watching and bringing me back some memories 🤓👍
Please does anybody know where I can buy the unit, I mean the EV adapter it’s not listed anywhere in his description
I'm curious about this as well

This guy will tell you everything but that
Brilliant vid mel very interesting keep them coming cheers
Hey Mel, love this. Watched a few time. Could you let us know a bit more about the cable you used to plug into the electric car charge point? Thanks.

@@ZxAMobile pure hot overpriced garbage! Love it!
A couple of weeks ago, wasn't the EV charging video 3 months ago?
Yeah
Interesting video Mel but I am a little confused with the spec of this unit. Amp hours = watt hours divided by voltage.
If the description says it's 1152 watt hours and we divide that by 12 volts that gives us 96 amp hours. However the description contradicts this by saying the unit is only 36 amp hours.
Am I miss understanding something or have the manufacturers got it wrong?
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Keep up the good work
Hi Mel. The cable is supposed to be mentioned in the video. it is not, and I cannot find any reference here for it. Can you please point out where the cable can be purchased. Thanks

Can someone answer clearly:
1. Can you directly connect the bluetti AC 180 to an electric car charging station.
2. If YES; What cable/wire in the UK do I need?
3. The cable listed in all the comments by juicybrucie doesn't look like it fits from the ev charging point straight into the bluetti adapters/ sockets.
Thank you in advance for the clarification.
With one of those adaptor cables you said in another video you could just plug the power station directly into the adaptor cable at the EV charging station no? I have this idea of charging up a power station then being able to transport this to my caravan (which I don't want to move) and being able to charge up the leisure batteries on site. Thanks for all the useful info.

What type of voodoo is going on here? It would appear that you’ve just connected a high voltage DC charging source directly to your 220/240v 16 amp mains input socket on the van. Could you please explain exactly how you are making all this work. Thanks.

Top vid bud🤙would you say that theory would transfer to charging my 200ah lithium, perhaps charging rate would be dictated by the battery charger out put?
Nice idea charging up for so little money👍
Just need to find reliable free water🤔I'm thinking submersible filter connected to 12v water pump via a 3 stage filtration system straight into under slung tanks from river/stream/reservoir.....prob not for drinking!....sure Ive seen some Australia make a vid on this idea???
Yes 👍 that’s what I’m thinking too I’m sure it’s possible but I need to do some research and then I’ll be on it 👍🤓👍🍻
*What cable are you using to charge the bluetti from the ev charger ?*
EV cable
But where did you get it from..
@@Gordon_S what's what we would all like to know
Do an internet search...😉
A spooky moment, we were watching as you turned the camera around to show the bluetit with our patio doors open. A young bluetit flew in! Spent a few anxious minutes trying to get it out, which we eventually did. Certainly woke us up quickly this Sunday morning.?😅
Awww what a lovely start to the day 😁
Blue tit is an anagram of Bluetti..😁
The ac180 is charged from the factory to over 60%. So that is your starting point.
If that's true then why did the test one here start at 35%
hi Mel compared to a victron set up with thick gauge wiring for a reason i suppose, it concerns me that these little box of tricks aint so well wired, as im no wizard in electrics i can see the box of tricks being tbh a god send and no faff what are your thoughts on these cheers sam
I live in my van full time and I have been using the AC200 max for the last 17 months and had no problems whatsoever I’ll be installing the AC 300 in my next van that I’m building now I’ve met some people at festivals that installed the ac200max in there vans and they’re all happy with them. As for wire they are built extremely well you’ll notice I don’t make videos about any other power packs anymore only Bluetti and no I don’t get paid buy them but I do make a small commission if you use the link in the videos
£900 powerstation, thats definiltly a considered purchase.
You are much more considerate than I am. I wouldn't move for a ev vehicle.
what was the connection to the van I take it was a 15 amp plug I thought it was a special connection on the power gun that connects to a EV 🤔
It’s a special adaptation that I made
Hi Mel, wondering where you purchased the lead in order to charge the unit from an EV point . Will shortly be building a van and will be using Blueetti.

Why on earth would one need electricity to run a diesel heater?
Because it has a glow plug and a fan
That's a very low charging rate compared to just plenty it into any outlet. Most plugs it brings in 1400 watts
hi mel hope you are well great video again love watching you was wondering where you got your charge cable apptor from please
I made it
@BigVanSmallWorld can you do that's? If so how much would you charge to make me one please
Great video Mel. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Mel! I had no idea at all how cheap it would be. I'm guessing coppers to charge an EB70 from zero to full. So glad you did this video as I am now definitely going to get an EB70 as a back up. Cheers mate.
Glad I could help!
Did you have to pay to charge from there? Still confused about if its free or not
You have to pay
hi Mel just subscribed and the bluetti seems to be just the job for my peugeot tepee which im planning to make into a stealth camper, so nothing on exterior also less faff, no need for split charge ,no need for solar would there be any drawbacks to this and can you expand the bluetti, like your induction hob as well not a fan of gas and safer ,no gas bottle saves space, my thoughts of the car was to leave as standard which gets me under the barriers,unassuming and less nickable as they are usually old dears cars or disabled and better cars to steal but for park up very unassuming so basically park anywhere impressed with the charging using ev and cigarette lighter its own inverter that s well capable and 10 year lifespan, are there any drawbacks in cold weather as normal batteries die quick ,also not to upset some folk ,unfortunately im old myself, so stand by my car description lol cheers sam
Hi welcome to the channel I’m actually using a Bluetti AC200 max in my van it’s a game changer I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it especially as it has a 12v 35amp outlet perfect for running a camper with 👍🤓👍 link in the description of all may videos
thanks for the reply ,there doesn't seem to be any bad points, saved me alot of work less faff and its all in one unit and will keep my van stealth like cheers sam@@BigVanSmallWorld
Nice one lad !!!! 😅
Thanks 😅
Really strange... Check video at time 11:17 ... If you will calculate 22 watts x 14.6 hours , and this is your almost half of the battery capacity... you will get 768 wats only... It's like AC70 capacity.... Why???
Every time Mel says Bluetti, I picture a blue Abominable Snowman... help!
Hahaha 🤣
Wot code reader do you use

You did not show how high the power output was on your diesel heater I.e was the diesel heater running low , medium or high ? . The reason I ask is my diesel heater is running at 65watts continuously on high setting . So at 22watts I'm presuming that you running on a very low setting ?? .
It was running on start up that’s all
@@BigVanSmallWorld so if I was to run my 4kw diesel heater on a high setting it would probably only run on a Bluetti for 5 - 6 hours max .
Mel, what are you thoughts regarding Ulez & 15 min cities. If they get rolled out this will have a big impact on not just the normal motorist but the campervan community also. It just seems to be a waiting game at present but could really screw up vanlife for a lot of people. My van is not Ulez complaint & I'm in a catch 22 situation like most people invested time & money in a van build but now concerned this will bring an end to my own personal vanlife experience. Don't mean to be negative but trying to be realistic as it is a frightening time. Ulez , 15min cities & road charging doesn't seems to be brought up in conversation by Vanlife RUclipsrs.
Have the same concerns, also either height barriers, no overnight signs or £20 overnight parking charge.
This is a really good question and to give you a quick answer for me it’s not really a big deal as I don’t go into cities I’d rather be in remote locations only down side is WiFi or lack of it but hopefully star link will solve this issue I just need to work harder so I can afford it hence you will start to see more videos from me 👍
I don't think people understand that the 15 minute city is designed to stop you moving wherever you are it's not something you can drive around and avoid - thankfully they are being met with resistance.
What people need to consider is this there is a push to move people to online shopping and food deliveries and the roads being quieter will assist in this so there's a motive.
The one in Oxford there's restrictions how many times you're "allowed" to move it's not good for anyone but a nightmare for vanlifers.
Got caught out driving through Bristol and it’s new ULEZ. I didn’t know they had put one in place, drove up to the Brunell bridge to see signs saying I was about to enter the zone. No clear signs to avoid it, but thought I had. Didn’t go home for a few weeks only to find a fine and the half price offer had already expired. 😡😡
On looking online I saw others complaining that going south on the M5 they followed signs for the airport only to see signs for the ULEZ with no opportunity to turn off!
Just another cash cow con.
@@marknicholson2281 stop paying them it's simple until cbdc arrives and fyi anyone who doesn't know that won't be so easy with CBDC - yes there's another "conspiracy" use cash or lose it because with CBDC comes social credit scores which won't allow you to challenge anything, seriously start looking at some of the conspiracy stuff because it's railroading ahead.
Hi Mel really sorry to bother you could you tell me please when plugging your charging port into the charge station outside your van what are you using inside the charge your devices like leisure batteries and stuff is it a standard battery charger? If you could let me know please I will be very grateful as currently in the process of converting a 17 seater minibus into a camper van.
I’m using a Bluetti AC 200 max to run my van
@@BigVanSmallWorld hi Mel thank you for that I was just wondering what you using to charge your power pack I know you're using the electric car port but what cable are you using to plug it in because I would like to be able to do that myself like you said respecting other people actually have electric car as I won't be stupid about things do you just use a standard campsite lead? Thank you.
Hi mel just a quick question is it possible to charge my Bluetti AC180 using a D050S charge enhancer the same as you do with your AC200 Max?
Yes I think so

$799 US to £899 in the UK. Why is that?😳
I have no idea 🤷♂️
@BigVanSmallWorld thanks for the review. Never thought about charging it from car charging station. Anyway, that ac180 looks very promising . It would be very useful for my small camper.
Most stuff in USA is
China doesn't like the UK as it sourced a lot of it's trade from within the EU when UK was a part of that - now that Brexit happened, UK is far more reliant on China, and they tariff accordingly.
Do the British never think of their actions when "getting a bargain" as costing other sellers by not having a level playing field to operate on?
All's fair though if now, caused by your own country, things are more expensive or not available at all, because not a thought or care was given in the past when times were tough for them.

#waffleonawednesday hi mell great video you say it charges at between 550 and 700 watts. I thought the ac180 was capable of charging at 1400 watts. Am I wrong or is it capable of not why is the ev point only charginging at half speed.
Mark
I think that’s the combined charging like if you have max solar and you have it plugged into manes power.hope this helps
That's strange in 😅 bluetti press pack and manual it say ac charging goes up to 1400w you have to have it in turbo mode in the app
I managed to find where to get the adapter from it's a company called EV connectors and cost 138 quid
I’m as thick as pig you know what when it comes to electric you plugged the lead into your van side does that go through a system or is there a 3 pin lead at the other side does that come over right doh!
I have no idea what you’re asking
@@BigVanSmallWorld let me try again you take the lead from the EV hook up and connect it to your van does that connection into the side of your van go into your electrical system ie your leisure battery

Bluetti=Bluetit
Do I win an AC180??
No sorry I have given it to Becky for her van
EV = expensive vehicles no doubt in 5yrs the batteries will be knackered mind they're ok for local pottering about
Battery will degrade to about 80% at which point it plateaus and stays there until something else critical happens to cause the vehicle to be "written off".
Same could be said about an internal combustion engine if the engine itself develops a fault over 5-10 years, but still see a lot of old cars that are likely unroadworthy still driving around.
If your paying to charge your batteries then any ev driver can go boil their heads?you are paying to park there,its not a free service im afraid i myself would not move👍from BIGMICK IN HULL
Good to see the Luddites are in the chat!
Yes but you have fuel in your tank to get home, ev's need to charge to get 🏡 plus you would incur penalty charges if you overstayed at some chargers,especially as some power banks take hours to charge.
@rogerstarkey5390 I'm not opposed to modernisation but my money is worth the same as everyone else's?
If ev cars get as Common as they would like then more charging bays should be installed and may illeviate the problem. Just tell them your camper is electric 😀😀
