Love the builds. I have a 50k mile from new Swift in my driveway with a slipping auto trans. I'm very much inspired.
[QUOTE=EVmetro;472308 I lived in Italy for many years, and everything was 230 there as well. My home only had a single breaker, and I think it was something like 5 amps or so, but at least it was not 5 amps of 110v.[/QUOTE]
We use 240v here, a small house is typically equipped with an 80A main fuse, and three breakers of 15A ea (five in the case of electric ovens and hot water). 230V*5A is 1150W, a kettle takes 2400W, but some of those old houses would have been designed for much lower power requirements than is typical today.
