    New Zealand

    Ring up your Nissan dealership and ask them or the Mitsubishi or Toyota. Tesla aren’t the first electric car in NZ or Australia. one would assume they've solved the problem already. the Nissan LEAF are 240VAC type 1 or 120amps 400VDC CHademo all stuff which exceeds the ELV of a car normally...

    Mobile charging for Australia

    with dual chargers you model s can support ~20kW so 32amp 3 phase 415V. the Renault Cleo can support 63amps 43kW through a type 2 plug. if the CHAdeMO adapter is released you'll be able to go to 50kW. anything higher than that is currently tesla only supercharger hardware which you can't...

    First Signature and First Production Delivery in Australia

    we haven't exactly sent them positive signals, all the countries you've mentioned above have government purchase incentives. the i-miev and leaf have been available in the country for over 2 years now and haven't exactly enjoyed success. (don't argue they are lesser cars they sell more LEAFs in...

    Mobile charging for Australia

    1 Mennekes is a dam better improvement on the USA non standard special plug only for tesla. type 2 allows for 3 phase meaning that when you charge at 22kw you are load balancing across 3 phases (32amps each) rather than 80amps on a single phase. given australias power network type 2 mennekes was...

    already finished stalking him facebook twitter linkdin Evan Beaver - Canberra, Beyond Zero Emissions | about.me plenty of vision not sure how he'll go with the piratical project management. but he'll definitively be able to get site owners on site, which i assume is half the job.

    Mobile charging for Australia

    that looks like it would work i would recommend starting your testing at 10amps (use a EVSE for a volt. i-meiv or leaf) checking heat in the cable. then stepping up to using a 32amp chargepoint unit. have your signed up to chargepoint and gotten your rfid card ?

    Hunter EV festival

    yes when they said that the p85+ blue was fully charged I assumed it went to visit one of the i think 2 Newcastle preorders of the model s. might even be more than 2. so i didn't mean you I met some other bloke who turned up in a Tesla roadster light blue colour. he had the number plate "NOFUEL"

    Opti-Coat Exterior Protection and Detailing

    don't worry about which one you'll end up selling them both and buying either another Tesla or if you can't afford it a Nissan LEAF. or never ever let your wife drive your EV. you'll never get i back again. this is well documented.

    How Tesla could pull more consumers off the grid

    V2G is quite useful to reduce network capacity costs , this cost is hidden from most consumers but larger users pay it directly and it defined differently depending on the distribution company. in the ausgrid area if you create a peak load of 150KW during peak time you then pay 150 kw times 35c...

    Home Charging

    you forgot to add 10-20% in charger losses but you will rarely be charging from dead flat empty.. the i-miev with a 16kwh battery takes around 8 hours to charge from 10amps. actually most cars do a really good job at limiting their charge current when told to by the EVSE and its likely if you...

    Home Charging

    by the way has anyone found the mandatory RCM/ c-tick mark on their Telsa charger I haven't seen it on any of the photos ? should look like a tick with a circle and have a Nxxxx where xxxx is the distributor number. New single compliance mark | ACMA

    if you think outside the box you can see a use. if you uses it as a car sharing same way as the bikes they only cost 10-15k each and weather proof. better than a taxi.

    List of confirmed Australian Orders

    after spending the last 12 months driving an EV with only a 3kW charger I would recommend to all of you to get the dual charger, because when you want to charge and your not doing it at home overnight.

    Mobile charging for Australia

    if your after a type i 10amp single phase to J1772 type one the cheapest one in Australia is the Holden volt at $450-$500 depending on if the spares guy at Holden thinks he can rip you off or not. you could then do your plug conversion of type 2 to (type 1 inlet)
