Hi,

Givenergy’s Facebook post mentioned there would be some new products announced at the show - any news of what these are yet?

kram To be fair I suspect Robert Llewellyn will be there so that's not a bad imitation of something Kryten would say...

94jdh are you getting confused - isnt the gateway a different bit of kit to the promised EMS?

That looks really interesting! If it does what the poster says, then that could be a real winner. I also noticed the interesting point about the Giv-Gateway providing full home backup (a-la the Tesla Gateway).
The chap that posted it on Twitter also seems to think that the retail price for the combined battery and inverter will be in the £7-8K region.

Amusing that the QR code on the second picture points to the existing product brocure, which doesn't mention the product that it's stuck to. 😀

says so much doesn’t it.
sadly someone needs to get hold of things before the wheels come off.

kram Agreed. Sometimes you have to take a pause and make sure the foundations are solid before pressing on again. It's too easy to keep growing and then the wheels come off. Too many flaky issues at Givenergy make me nervous at the moment - growth is obviously important but they need to get the existing products a) available and b) reliable as a priority I reckon. Hopefully the issues are resolved quickly.
