I've only stated what the NSW government has said not other states. so look at the risks according to the SA government sa.gov.au - Buying electrical appliances "Risks of buying and selling unapproved proclaimed products Appliances that are unapproved have caused fires, electric shocks and...

yes sorry i was thinking about getting it with a 56P532 included that as a $100 line item should cover purchasing them then shipping them to the manufacturer. the wiring standards allow for 15amp to 10 amp as long as there is a 10 amp cb just post the socket like the jaycar unit or the...

timings is another thing it would probably take 1-2 months to do this... depends on the manufacturer.

started thinking about that it's now very unlikely the tesla mobile charger will be more than 10amps heosat has one and it's only 10amps. thought about taking the kickstarter approach so group buy a mobile chargers and spread the rcm approval cost. so starting with some back of the envelope...

with dual chargers you can charge at 100km/hr 22kwh/hr or 25%SOC/hr without a supercharger. while not as convenient as a supercharger they do provide a quick enough charge to make 450km trips not end with tow truck, if you just stop to charge for 30-60mins.

Aside there is an i-miev meet up pencilled in for the 3rd of may also on the central coast. but we'll be meeting at a caravan park so we can all charge up to make it home.

the other problem is Australia has lots and I mean lots of approved sockets 3 pin 240V in 10,15,20,32 amps Industrial IP66 3 Pin Industrial Outlets and Sockets 3 Pin Switched Socket Combination Industrial outlets IP66 4 pin 415V which wouldn't be usable since EVs want to see neutral and earth...

2G on Telstra is being turned off in 2016 anyway.

approval varies in cost $2k up to over $10k. and with Tesla's constant "soon" talk it's hard to make a business decision on the viability of a 3rd party mobile cable.

because they aren't tested and approved for australian standards one they have a Australian plug they become a declared article with a penalty "The maximum penalty for selling, importing, hiring or exchanging ‘declared articles’ without ‘electrical safety approval marks’ and an Australian...

yes but it's illegal in NSW once you put a Australian plug on it IMO.

I was looking at the ordering site Model S Design Studio | Tesla Motors to see if any more info on when the mobile charger is released and noticed it says 10amp only... and dual chargers is no longer an option Also makes me think that heosat has a euro version Mat Peterson on Twitter: and we...

yes but what are the 72 hydrogen vehicles ? didn't think there where any in Australia

you need to say what % battery you where charged at as the chargers have to decrease power as you approach full.

last year I went and got prices from as many people as possible for VFIT NSW Solar Feed in Tariff | Rammblings and Madness and 6.4c/kwh is the 3rd from the bottom out of 9. I haven't had time to do a full cost comparison. I'll have to dig out my spreadsheet.

unfortunately I didn't own a house until all the bonus schemes had expired so I'm on the VFIT and the powershop VFIT isn't great I'm currently on 10c VFIT.

Powershop's Power Prices make us AU's best power company has launched in NSW waiting for their solar prices.

you should of gone with the dual chargers then otherwise it appears your limited to 15amps on a single phase. without the special tesla type 2 EVSE.

seems brave after Newcastle there is nothing until Grafton on plugshare.

a lot of those travel adapter are very poorly made and will not cope with 10amps continuous. so be careful ! so look for a travel adapter that has australian test markings Safe electrical goods - NSW Fair Trading or cut off the plug and put proper clipsal or hpm plug on.

Parking and not charging it considered worse than ICEing a charging spot, because EV drivers should know better.

Thanks, ray and everyone else that makes it easy if i can't get them for cheaper than $300 I'll just point you all to Tesla. :biggrin:

If anyone wants the convince of an attached cable for home charging etc.. the models with cables are roughly $400 more expensive than the socket version. but I won't be carrying them in stock so minimum 4 week wait time. aside: has anyone asked tesla to provide them with a type 2 to type 2...

there also appears to be one of those GE units in Melbourne now too Next to entrance to underground parking on Nth side of building | Burnley, VIC | Electric Car Charging Station | PlugShare

I'm not sure if there is that much inconvenience with getting out a cable especially for public charging, because it's not like we do it every time we park. At home maybe you do that daily at worse but when we talk about standard charging connections we are mainly concerned with public charging...

Type 1 Type 2 AC charging isn't chaos because it's the same communication protocol so you can convert from type 2 to type 1 with out any technical issues. you just need to encourage everyone to install type 2 socket devices. The problem is fast charging where there are 3 different...

the term long distances is a vague term which depends on how far you have to drive from home to work i.e. your daily drive . you talk to some country people a long distance starts at 500km metro people seem to feel it's 100-200km some times even 30km is a long distance for them. basically 3...

thanks yes pricing is on website for the 4 models that I thought would be the best sellers. didn't think anyone would want the 11kW versions etc..

After taking what I thought was way too long sorting out contracts and RCM approval for importation I am now just waiting for my first shipment of units to arrive so i'm taking pre-orders if anyone in interested. There are 3 levels of features e-series single phase (240v) select-able...

I hope that you continue to add new orders to the list ! where is the graph showing the status of the car ? so we can see if there is more ordered than delivered.

The short answer is not yet. I do have plans but nothing happens as fast as i would like.

Superchargers are max power at 120kW so would require at least 150amps on the AC side 3 phase, which is a lot of power. at most supercharging sites they would have a dedicated transformer for just that site. in the newest areas house are given a standard connection to the grid of 63amps 3phase...

Velocity electrical have a company LEAF so they know what a EV which is one up on a normal sparkle, they are also a chargepoint installer. but last time I talked to them they are yet to install a tesla charger. EV Charging

this is probably the thing besides the size of the car that I like least about the model S, I can see me doing the exact same thing as I've turned the wipers on many a time when I’ve had to swap before on other cars.

because Victoria has a law [1] requiring EVs and hybrids to have a sticker on the number plate except vicroads don't sell EV stickers just hybrid stickers. [2] so i assume they couldn't be bothered to get his own EV one printed so they just put on a hybrid one [1]...

just ping the cars dns name and when it connects to the home wifi open the garage door right ? raspberry pi, python and a spare door remote control.

the car costs over $100k, that should stop the majority of p-platers.

is it like your phone you have to plug it in to do the firmware upgrade ? i assume they have a check to ensure it doesn't happen while driving. so you need to plug in with prefect mobile phone reception facing ENE ?

it's more even if you have one that has isofix and a top tether it still has to go through Australian standards. we have no mutual agreements. the standard also requires labels to be put on seats telling you if the child is the right size for the seat. ie if shoulders are below this line child...

boosters seats 4+ don't require top tether. so have you tired one without ? by the way isofix is now legal in australia but require recertification (because we are demanding isofix and top tether ) so there are only 2 models but only available in 0-4 year configurations

[/LIST] In Peters defence he gave you the correct advice regardless of how unpractical you thought it was. the solution to get more range out of ANY car is the drop your cursing speed. not sure where he got 88km/h from but yes driving the F3 at 80 , 90 or 100km/h will use less fuel or...
