Took me a massive amount of time to get set up, but I finally got my charger installed with approval from the OC. I've made a full video about it here if interested:

Just drove past the Tesla Elsternwick/Brighton showroom and saw there are two large for lease signs across the front. Looks like the Tesla SC + showroom are moving out? A bit sad for us, they are the closest SC. They only recently (last ~2 months) updated signage Source: 182 Brighton Road...

Besides the fact that I don't think we should be doing anything to help the price of fuel at the bowser (the most effective way to encourage EV uptake is to make the alternatives more expensive as we've seen across Europe), the fuel excise is to cover road usage. This is the stated aim and why...

Hey all, Given the fuel excise has been halved (44.2c per litre to 22.1c per litre for 6 months), why isn't the Vicroads ZLEV road-user charge being reduced by 50% as well? The fuel excise is there to cover road usage right? Feels pretty unfair Thoughts?

JetCharge will never reply to you and EVSE don't do installations. The best luck I had was with contacting the electricians recommended by Tesla on their website. I'm doing almost the same thing but in a 52 unit apartment. Haven't gotten there yet but the likely solution is just running it off...

There's an estimate: March 10 - March 24

I ordered 26/11 and have a VIN, same config

Mine's a white interior. VIN today

RWD, White/White, 18" wheels Order date: 27/12 EDD: 24/3 - 31/3 VIN: 517XXX Located: VIC Looks like they're allocating white interiors today

Looks like all the VINs are black interior. I ordered 27/12 white/white...fingers crossed it comes early!

Damn! That's all good, I wasn't expecting to receive the car for a long time anyway. More chance of new features in the car by waiting anyway

I just got the VicRoads registration form SMSed to me. I ordered on the 24th of December and it said 14-20 weeks from order (RWD, white/white, aeros). Does this mean it's coming soon?

Model 3 RWD Ext: White Int: White OD: 24/12 VIN: N/A EDD: 14-20 weeks

Update: The proposal is still with the Owners Corp. At first, it was "we'll get back to you by the end of the week", and then the following week "the OC have a meeting on Wednesday night we'll get back to you shortly", then "we'll have a formal response to you by the end of next week" (which...

A big list of sites Evie is going to be opening after receiving Vic govt funding (from here: Destination Charging Across Victoria Program): Fast Cities Australia (Evie Networks) Evie Networks DC Fast Charging Across Victoria Charger size: 50 kW No. of chargers: 55 No. of sites: 55 Region...

More detail including a list of locations, operators and charge speed here: Destination Charging Across Victoria Program - specifically this doc: https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/word_doc/0027/551961/DCAV-Recommended-Projects.docx. Looking like most of the chargers will be finished by...

It does, but the electrical one doesn't end up in the basement. The comms one does and ends up where I want, but I don't think they'd want power run through there. Plus even if there was a straight run I believe we'd need it to be certified as fire-safe as it's going between floors and...

This is the exact thing I want to suggest. I'm happy for them to own it (similar to other utilities) even if I pay to install it.

~3 years

I've actually watched that whole video already! It was really informative. I reached out to Brent Clark but as I'm in Melbourne he recommended I speak to someone else here - who I learnt was more involved in larger scale installations (e.g. new buildings or installing a whole bunch of chargers)...

Thankyou. Yeah the smart meter option costs ~$200 year + 4G internet which is probably another ~$200 year. If some other owners get onboard at least these would be split..

I have written and submitted a fairly detailed, but I hope easy to understand proposal. I've included photoshopped renderings of how the charger and conduit would look, as well as diagrams on the floor plan. I've also offered my phone number and email in case anyone has any questions. It'd be...

Yeah, I'm well aware, not sure why you've come in with this condescending tone. I've gotten 3 different quotes and have provided the OC with insurance and SWMS from the electrician I've chosen to do the installation. I've written up a long document detailing installation options and where the...

What do you mean by deed the conduit? Do you have any examples I could point to to show the OC?

Edit: sorry, by "them" I mean the Owners Corp.

Hi all, I posted a few weeks ago about installing a charger in my apartment's basement at my car spot. I've sent them a couple of options (a dumb meter w/ Tesla charger and a smart meter) and now they've come back saying I need to setup a lease or licensing agreement for the section of the...

Took some pics yesterday but looks like Chenkers has beaten me to it!

I guess my concern with a regular meter is the body corp aren't going to be interested in coming out to read it, and then having to transfer money on an ad-hoc basis. But maybe a regular meter is an easier path forward...

Hey BCTS, Yup. So the Ocular IQ chargers can use the Exploren app so I can pay through the app and the cost of electricity gets reimbursed through to the body corp. This same system can also load balance, so if all 50 apartments all get one it can split the capacity across everyone. There's also...

Hi all! I'm looking to get an M3 in the near future but want to ensure I can install a charger on Basement 2 of my 50 apartment building. Does anyone have any recommendations for electricians in Melbourne who have experience installing a charger that can be billed automatically to the strata...
