For you to direct dc charge you need tesla to publish the supercharging protocol. no sign of that any time soon. If you go a off gird system with a battery bank it's DC to charge battery then DC/AC invertor (pure sine wave) to charge the car with auto cut off, you turn the charge rate on the...

very nice the 1st link didn't work for me so here is it is again Auckland mall roof adorned with solar panels - National News | TVNZ I'll need to go have a look when i'm in Auckland next week.

won't they switch you to polyphase metering. (e3 is the ausgrid term) I think and it won't make any difference ?

I don't think an 80amp single phase charger will be approved in Australia. and if it is it won't take long before its banned. Phase imbalance on the transformers make life harder on network operators.

yes but steve wests isn't a tesla HPWC tesla don't have any 3phase HPWC yet. and all the euro HPWC are is a type 2 EVSE with a button to open the charge port hatch.

there are 3 phase type 2 evse installed in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra. (many are ex betterplace.)

Lowest fuel prices in four years but at what cost to the global economy? - 30/12/2014 found it only thing they said that I don't like "MATT PEACOCK: Models a third of that price are expected within three years." well the are EVs a 1/3 the cost now.

Let me be the first to say that my i-miev was meant to be my car... except it's the wifes every 2nd week and every Friday (under the excuse that it's a longer drive to her work so we'll save money).... she won't wait for the model 3. or you won't put up with your model s being borrowed so often.

Guess which parent will be asked to to the school run so it can be shown off. Congratulations brings the hunter ev population up to 5ish now, we have a LEAF, I-miev, tesla roadster and model s, the delorean. Mike buy your wife an i3 so we can complete the collection.

sorry confused may I misinterpreted you said you paid a premium implying that tesla aren't providing a service you expect for the price, yet your happy to admit they can't possibly make money off it in Australia.

well the premium isn't that much ~$3000 a single supercharger would cost $20k at minimum. all the install works each site would be cost $100k-$200k I’m sure. so 50 cars have to be sold to pay back 1 site. BMW i3 you pay $700-1000 for your combo 1 port and bmw don't even pretend that'll install...

based on previous government decisions I think they shouldn't mandate anything. tesla are the mostly likely to loose out on any government mandate from a public servant point of view why would go with the company with only a single car. first thing our government would probably do is ban...

plugshare is a commercial company (but free as in beer for drivers) open charge map (is free as in beer and free as in speech) they both do the same job, plugshare is probably already more up to date. as the most popular.

nothing on the map Find Us | Tesla Motors or PlugShare - EV Charging Station Map - Find a place to charge your car! care to share which locations or does it have to kept hush hush ?

Thanks i need to update them now tesla has arrived with type 2 for level 2 charging.

most of the chargepoint locations are on plugshare. at the moment plugshare is the most up to date map of charging locations in Australia. just be careful of old better place gear while it is type 2 for the tesla a lot has been decommissioned and all of it requires rfid cards which are hard to...

I agree can't think of a design off hand through that would work with a passive circuit. tesla could get around it by wiring the PP straight through and interpreting 480ohms correctly, (maybe add another in-line resister so the car knows a adapter is in use) I assume that is how the American...

Is there still a risk with this cable that the J1772 connection could be pulled apart while charging and it would be disconnected under load. the result being arcing and damage to the connector a better design would be to wire the resisters from the trigger of the J1772 socket to the resisters...

oh and did you get your $100 discount ?

what have you done about the EV sticker required for your number plate in Vic ?

how in what logic is 10 cars delivered the largest ownership base ? your potentially the largest but Tesla has to deliver more than 1000 cars to get close to you making that claim. Tesla isn't even the largest ownership base worldwide... Nissan have that title. chargepoint is an american...

Tesla is good for coal is certainly true, most EVs are charged overnight, increased demand during low NEM prices will be a win for generators. unless you have a off gird solar system and don't publicly charge you really can't avoid put coal generated electricity into your Tesla. obviously...

been watching heosats twitter feed, who's doing a tour of the vineyards in the hunter valley Mat Peterson (@heosat) | Twitter ( an attempted claim of being the first EV to visit but he has to go a bit further away for that claim) so what is everyone else plans for photos tesla in front of...

EVs you notice the outside effect more than a ICE car. Rain and wind reduce range. incline speed between 50-70 is the efficiency zone for other EVs temperature shouldn't matter as you have a actively heated/ cooled battery pack.

so what cables came with the Australia cars ? did they at least hand out type 2 to type 2 cables for the few type 2 chargers in Australia ?

so far after searching the web, you can only get a supercharger from tesla even then I doubt they sell them to the public the fastest you can charge a Tesla using your own gear is to buy a 50kw (or maybe 100kw) CHAdeMO unit and wait for the euro spec tesla supercharger to chademo converter.

which is fine with me signature red is my colour. give yourself 2-3 years of that car then buy yourself a nice shinny P85D and i'll take that boring old S85 off your hands.

honestly the map makes sense it's where the population is, better be quick you can only get a LEAF in red and black in perth. Nissan is finally running out of the 2012 models.

well the big problem is 80% of the facts are true.. just wrong conclusions, you'll have a choice of charging a full power and paying for the upgrade or charging at a slower rate. and some areas of the country do have residential limits as low as 63amps. so yes if you own 2 teslas and a big AC...

Off to add them to plugshare....

at 270 pages thread closed... start a new one.

it was early and your right.

it's a chargepoint CT4000 it's on the map already so it has 2 J1772 outlets.

the I-meiv is RWD philistine

Something I never thought i would see Porsche had a advertisement in the AFR today of their e-hybrids. Canyenne S, Panamera S and 918 Spyder. they make teslas prices look reasonable with Canyenne starting at $150k Panamera at $307k and 918 is a if you have to ask you can't afford it. Tesla...

Why would you need to add the resister ? the only cable that needed the resister are ones for the 2010 i-meiv which aren't compliant they just use a J1772 plug. no EVSE box.

it'll be like why every nissian leaf dealership has a chargepoint, requirement of service that you leave with a full battery. it's also the easiest to do they already lease/own the land. so no landlord negotiations.

that's only a count of public or semi public (dealerships and hotels) . I don't have figures on homes and fleet arrangements. and it's not much which is why its fine Tesla have gone with type 2, if Australia now progresses with a type 2 socket universal (allows for both type 1 and type 2)...

at last count it was like 140. there are more J1772 then mennekes there are only about 15 mennekes type 2 in the wild. if your desperate for a mobile connector you can get a type 1 to type 2 cable and a Holden volt EVSE for $450, which would give you 10amp charging single phase.

They don't but they do need to certify for RCM mark. the legalilty of Steve install in Australia is a grey area. while a EVSE is not a declared device it does have declared devices as components i.e plugs and RCD. Safe electrical goods - NSW Fair Trading Tesla may also want to increase the...

well 85kWh battery assume they can only charge using a ~40amp single phase which you all have at home. 8kW-10kW so 8-12 hours. if they have the 3 phase 22kW EVSE then only 3-4 hours. car gets of the boat then customs. then trucked to dealership (or more likely undisclosed location because...

WA have more EVs than any other state per capita

using a elektrobay ? or something else you picked up ?

University of W.A. | Crawley, WA | Electric Car Charging Station | PlugShare Uni of WA.

So the first of hopefully many CHAdeMO/ CSS type 1. fast chargers has started install. (apparently it's not powered yet next week)

No but the price varies depending on what your wearing... i walked into one near my house with wife and kids in toe $20 extra for a light compared to the one near my of office in a industrial estate i walked with hiv vis and safety boots much better price. and when the ask about company account...

it wouldn't be impossible depends on your council city of sydney is more on board they own EVs already (and installed those 15amp sockets you mentioned earlier in their public car parks) and you wouldn't be the first person to put in curbside charging (see american example Curbside EV Charger...

Well there is enough of a rummer that that we'll see one in dickson in Canberra. but then its the claim that tesla will have it in before the service centre ? evans twitter feed was complaining about having to physically sign forms for energy companies. i can only assume it was the paper work...
