Separate names with a comma.
That's absolutely the last thing I'd do. When you're not using the car, keep it around 80% to 90%. If you overcharge past 90%, you need to use...
Only SR+. They're too bulky for the LR. The cars are designed with enough space for LRs to have a floor full of 2170 cells. The old SR+ with...
It took a little bit of arm-twisting to get that much. https://twitter.com/martinjandrews/status/1346411166818418692 The 630A breaker can't...
Oh believe me, several of us are making noise. I'd use it 3-4x a weekend again, if it were available. Chargefox's CEO doesn't sound too happy with...
That was right up at the limit of the charger - 500 amps at whatever voltage the car charges at. You were getting 499 amps. It'd be interesting...
2½:1 ratio, thank you very much! I've seen a few old cars steaming at historical sites in the past. It's easy to forget they're road-registered!
The word Sydney appears in the first column. Not as somewhere they'd go, but as an overarching region. They're only proposing installing chargers...
Don't worry. Unless your car has legacy free charging, then Chargefox is cheaper. Especially if you've linked your NRMA/RACV etc member number...
Someone who talks to a ‘journalist’ unironically falls into the sap category regardless of the story.
Around the corner from the Goulburn Supercharger is a shopping centre car park, with an Aldi on one side, and a small centre with a Woolworths on...
And they'll try and sucker ordinary people in to make the advertising (of such a stupidly overpriced scheme) seem down-to-earth. I wonder if the...
Folks: if you aren't media trained, don't talk to a journalist. And even if you are, you probably still shouldn't talk to a journalist.
Is this thread a comedy or a tragedy? Thankfully two of them are working now.
If I were them, after all the grief managing their charging station at Shell Cove (coordinating power outages with shopping centre tenants), I'd...
For 10% to 90%, my SR+ takes an hour on 50kW, 40 minutes on a Supercharger, or 37-38 minutes on an Ultra-Rapid. The Supercharger and Ultra-Rapid...
Yeah, no, that means owning a Leaf ;-) Half-related: One time I pulled into NRMA Scone, on my way to Moree. There was an Outlander PHEV plugged...
Given the Chargefox NRMA discount, their sites at Cooma and Gundagai, and a mid-week public holiday, I’m doing a quick lap of the Snowy Mountains...

Your car needs the pedestrian warning system external speakers - which apparently aren't installed on any Australian cars. In countries where PWS...
Yep, that's because NoA is only meant to engage on M roads, whereas in NSW we falsely label plenty of A roads as M roads. * An M road (motorway)...
Remember that in Australia, large power users pay for electricity on a demand tariff - based mostly on the peak rate the site could hypothetically...
Some of us don’t live in Sydney, but travel there every weekend, and can’t easily charge to get back out of Sydney. I have to run an extension...
Why? Charging at home is cheap, and with your NRMA discount, so is Chargefox. Free isn’t free. Someone always pays & it’ll cost you somehow. I...
Tesla’s service centre in Canberra at Beard is great. One on-site guy and one ranger. Few customers. No fuss. Appointments exist in theory, in...
CCS2 Native (Model 3), CCS2 Tesla Adapter (S/X) or CHAdeMO Adapter (S/X)? My Model 3 SR+ sometimes sees 160kW briefly on ChargeFox, around 10-15%...
When I’m at my mother’s, in a flat with no off-street parking at all, I run an extension lead out the side balcony, across the front yard, across...
Add in the Hornsby-ish charger Evie have on their planned map, plus Ourimbah (hypothetical) and Wallsend (exists but requires de-ICEing), it’ll...
When I said Kariong or Ourimbah I was thinking of the servos not far from the freeway. A servo had plenty of juice to run at least 1x50kW unit...
Separate installations at Kariong and Ourimbah would probably be cheaper and easier than an isolated site at Mount White or Calga. There’s no...
In what way is that part not how it works? When I've had out-of-scope damage repairs at the Tesla Service Centre in Canberra, the guy there has...
Did you specify glass cover on your insurance? Make a claim. (With a Tesla, always always always specify glass cover - there's too much glass not...
My Tesla already records all that stuff. I see it in TeslaSpy. It's scary how much it knows about me. Chances are governments will simply order...
Excessive... But if it means they have funds to expand & can maintain better reliability than Chargefox, I'll live with it. (Come on, it's been...
The NEM is Federal. WA and NT aren't connected to the NEM, so they handle their affairs locally. Plus there are a lot of isolated/islanded...
Yeah, umm, my SR+ is RWD and I’m a bit heavy on steering. My tyres absolutely need to be rotated front to back. Different usage profiles.
On my second visit to TyrePower they couldn't do the repair (double puncture, shortly after a single puncture they also repaired for me - I'm sure...
Any tyre shop will plug it for you for about $20. But just remind whoever is doing the jacking to check for the 4 mount points near the wheels. My...
Yep. A week ago they ran short on it. I arrived just in time for the last available serving! :-) The concern is which site at Marulan....
God I need to proofread when I rewrite half a sentence. Elevation is desperately important on the Hume Highway when you consider where to site...
Starting with the basics You have AC chargers and DC chargers. Public AC chargers are basically the same as your home chargers, yes. But they...
It has absurdly heavy wind that cuts to the bone. And whenever it isn’t windy, you get smells from the abattoirs and/or the compost plant. You...
Evie’s pricing model suggests their goal isn’t to encourage you to stay to 90% and skip every charger for the next 250km. It’s to get you to 75%...
Supercharging is so expensive now that Evie is cost-competitive. Chargefox is still much cheaper, sure, but they’re getting kinda unreliable.
Seven Hills pro tip: You can sneak through the Hungry Jacks car park, and use the traffic lights on Foundry Road, to get across Abbott Road.
I occasionally wonder if I’ve got the same in my SR+. I’ll probably switch the cabin air filter out someday. I’ve heard mixed reviews about some...
People call for harmony, but only once their side is in power. Yeah. No. What I wonder, on the topic of EVs being sold to...
It's more about not enjoying being spoken down to by effete people who think they're better than you, while contributing nothing to the uplift of...
I've never noticed my Model 3 struggle in the heat. There are more than enough chargers to let me run the air con on LO at 10. The real question...
I stayed at the Baths MoteI in Moree a few months ago. He’s happy enough to let non-guests charge there for a suitable fee. He adds $20 for...
Bega to Lakes Entrance direct in an SR+ is impossible. Even under good circumstances your highway range is around 280km. Consider spending the...
