    Is there something wrong with MYLR?

    It is very hit and miss as to whether you see the reduced speed limits in school zones, the one down the road from me in Carina shows the reduced speed limits in the morning (7am to 9am) but not in the afternoon (2pm to 4 pm) Some school zones in my area they don't show at all

    Aircon keep vs. letting car heat up and cool down

    Not quite, if you say set the temperature of a resistance heater car to 22C the air conditioner will cool the air down to to about 4C and then the resistance heaters will heat the air up to give you 22C at the vents, the heat pump uses the octovalve to achieve the same result with out requiring...

    Chargepoint in Australia (Closed 31/01/2024)

    Don't bother. it is impossible to create a new account that will work in Australia - as a matter of fact the only way to create an account is to use a VPN and connect to one of the VPN's servers that are not in Australia or NZ, and then create an account on the US web site and then it won't work...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    It depends on which version of AC you have the earlier versions used AC for cooling and resistors for heating, the problem with this version is that if you set the temperature a particular value say 22 C the air is delivered at that temperature, with resistive heating being used to raise the...

    Ideal or Cost Effective Home Charging

    This has been reported before, the UMC just need to update, the way to do this is to set the charge limit to a little more than the battery charge level is at, so it charges and leave it plugged in once charging is complete, provided you have a wifi connection at home I believe, the UMC will...

    Queensland Electric Highway

    The DC charger has its own cables, most QESH charger sites have two 22KW AC charging points and you do need a type 2 to type 2 for those, it would mean that you could charge at 11 KW for the model 3 while you are waiting if the DC charger(44KW) is occupied when you arrive
