    Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle.

    Personally, I prefer buying the cheapest extension lead and cutting the female end off. However, we are never going to protect those that willingly make catastrophic errors from themselves, what we are trying to do with minimum standards is protect those that are less technically educated...

    Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle.

    You do, what you do. Obviously, you have some/ a lot of electrical knowledge. The minimum standards are instigated to protect unenlightened people from themselves. Remember there are some rather run down palaces out there with some neglected electrical wiring. As to the Industrial screw type...

    Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle.

    I'm not an electrician. Actually, a retired ambo. Been to too many house fires over the years and seen a few crispy former human bodies in that time. Hence my desire to save lives through minimum standards.

    Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle.

    Personally, I believe that we need to instigate that the minimum standard should be a dedicated 15-amp circuit with an industrial plug style plug. Something that can be screwed into the socket, with heat resistors in-built. As with the Norwegian idea that 10-amp is for emergency use only.

    Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle.

    Came across this Norwegian Website whilst looking for Australian standards for home charging an Electric Vehicle. Alt du trenger å vite om hjemmelading which if I understand the translation correctly is the Norwegian Automobile Association. Given we share similarities with Norway's electrical...

    Superchargers in Australia

    You are correct, Maryborough West is a site that I believe is needed and have nominated. However, if more people nominate it as a site, then Tesla will look at it.

    Superchargers in Australia

    Whilst the QLD sites I nominated are "urban" they are on the Highways and where Highways meet. Warwick is on the New England Highway to/from Brisbane or Toowoomba. As is the Redbank plains site. I picked both sites because of their proximity to power, Eateries, and toilets. The Maryborough West...

    Superchargers in Australia

    Just added my two cents worth to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p34_qzXL7LazURhUpRh9eHHXpUxZsWr3xL-MNoX0ZPc/edit If any of these sites are already planned, please edit them out. Thoughts for voting in Q1 2024 Given voting for the Q1 1/4 should finish around March/April, we should start a...

    Superchargers in Australia

    We obviously need a coordinated social media campaign to mitigate these wasted votes and target sites that will get the most bang for our votes. I'm about to add a section to your google docs file for Q1 2024, where we can add sites we believe would be of assistance when travelling. I for one...

    Superchargers in Australia

    Could it be because those people voted early in the 1/4 before Rockhampton started construction? Another reason to have a dedicated page where we can collectively co-ordinate votes and suggestions for sites.
