Guide looks good. Couldn't help but notice your EU to OZ 15 amp adaptor looks to be wired in 'twin&earth' building wiring. This type of cable is for fixed installation only - not for something like a lead which flexes and moves around. The cable in your lead has a smaller count of thicker...

Two things this thread has made really clear to me 1. Just how much energy is in fossil fuels. My rough calculations are that the 50L of petrol in my car equates to around 485kWh of stored energy. 2. How rediculously good Teslas (and other EV's) are at converting energy into travel. By Tesla...
