Waitara now open!

Agreed. There are still the challenges of multiple AC standards around the globe which adds complexity/cost to vehicle manufacture but if solar inverter manufacturers can readily handle that, it's not necesarily a big deal. To prove your point, the MG4 will output 7kW on single phase. That's...

Total cost was about $30K as it's a custom low voltage lithium battery pack I built myself from low cost prismatic cells (technically 2 separate packs - one with new cells and one with lightly used cells). So sub 5 year payback. But yes, if it was all Powerwall 2s then ~$100K. Of course when...

The mix of panellists is a tricky one for the organisers. It looked to me like the more popular sessions were with those that had a higher Youtube / journalist / "celebrity" profile - particularly with Robert Llewellyn attending - which makes perfect sense. The sessions with industry experts...

Yep, Asquith open and currently free. Just need to scan the QR code with the BP Pulse app to start the free charging session. Max of 72kW on the dual CCS port station with one EV plugged in. Great to see a dual CCS port charger rather than CCS/Chademo.

Evie charging stations at HomeCo Belrose (formerly Belrose SuperCentre) at 4/6 Niangala Close, Belrose NSW are almost ready to go. Photo taken yesterday. Located on the lower level not far from the car park entrance. Not yet added to Plugshare.

Bloody Chademo plugs! More dual charger sites made into effective single charger sites because 95% of EVs in Australia use CCS and probably 99% by 2025. Hopefully they will rip out the Chademo plug and cable and install CCS in the near future when they realise that their dual charging units...

Evie at the Northbridge (NSW) shopping centre opening this afternoon. Installers just running final tests this morning. Not yet on Plugshare or the Evie app.

@Fermax you'll need to look at wholesale rates to understand why they are charging your battery. For example, this morning the wholesale rate was relatively low at 13-14c per kWh between 3-4am while it was 37 cents at 7-8am. So they're trying to discharge in the morning in addition to the...

Here they are: Using @Anubis settings it has the worst range of 21 similar vehicles:

Well, it could be worse - here's a friend's 2019 SR+. 13% degradation after 24,000km and just under 2 years old. Gap between green (fleet) and blue line even bigger in 2020 than 2021. Only 17% more degradation in the next 6 years to trigger a warranty claim! 193 vehicles with similar odometer...

Looks like Evie have a new station being installed at 410 Melton Hwy, Taylors Lakes VIC 3038 next to the car wash.

The portable prototype unit shown in First converted power kiosk in Sydney offers fast EV charging - free for 15 minutes was located at the Ausgrid depot at Homebush for that photo shoot.

Hornsby and neighbouring Waitara have a huge amount of high and low rise apartments so public charging will be needed for those who can't simply plug in or install their own charging equipment at home.

Anyone know the address for the Hornsby Jolt charger - First converted power kiosk in Sydney offers fast EV charging - free for 15 minutes?
