    Charging Question

    Those 32A EVSE at government's parking (EV Link not required) are not very reliable. I experienced many problems with them since day 1. On Monday, I parked my car and charging in Star Ferry Parking, at the beginning it gave me only 16A, then jumped to 32A , and nothing at the end. I only got...

    Making the wall connector portable

    Totally agree with you Markwj, my jumpers are for 10A max. Actually I don't understand how his BS1363 plug and cable survive with over 15A current.

    Making the wall connector portable

    I also modified mine but hardly use it. You can set the jumpers of the wall connector to take 10A or 16A, if you set them to take 16A and set the limit of current to 15A in your car's touch screeen, you will get 15A. I never try 15A, but I know a guy charging @ 15A without any problem so far...

    The average mileage with single charge of 85kw in HK ?

    Energy consumption is average 260wh/km on my car and heard from friends I know. If you charge it to 100% , you can drive 85 ÷ 0.26 = 326.9km If u drive lots of highway, you consumption will be lower, like 220wh/km.

    HK Politics and Superciliousness

    Yes, you ONLY waited six months, so you ordered November 2012? I ordered my Signature in June 2012 and delivered Aug 2014. If you still don't understand, maybe it's my English's problem... - - - Updated - - - Brilliant idea!! Now I understand why I hate Hong Kong. Ok, I will tell my mom and...

    Tesla Model D, cancellation or order upgrade rights??

    Just saw that, thanks. but I don't think BMW would launch a AWD i8 within 6 months after his friend get the car.

    Tesla Model D, cancellation or order upgrade rights??

    I am talking about the waiting time after LHD delivery. In your case, took u 1 year for i3 and maybe that's 6 months after LHD delivery. Your friend's RHD I8 arrived Feb this year? that's inline with LHD.

    Tesla Model D, cancellation or order upgrade rights??

    Agree Thomas. It took us almost 6 months from confirmation to delivery (Tesla have enough time to tell us about The D). I think it takes 3 month for delivery in US after confirmation? For other brand like BMW or MB, their RHD arrive less than 1 year after LHD delivery or at least long time...

    Grendal and Lioyd, If u received the car in Aug 2014 but ordered it in 2012 (that's what we, hk Signature owner did). U won't say that.... We confirmed our ordet Feb this year , but delivery took almost 6 months, that's much more than what it takes in the States. RHD delivery is just messy and...

    Hong Kong Tesla Model S Charging Standard

    Mark, I also think these EVSE are not very user friendly. I tried these EVSE in couple government parkings (Shau Kee Wan, Star Ferry, Rumsey Street and Tin Hau), I can never get it work in first attempt. I have to unplug it (both ends) and press the Start button couple times. Sometimes it works...

    Charger solution on private car parking space

    That's bad news! $1500 a month is too much. Even if it cost $1.5/kwh and your car needs 270wh/km, $1500 is good for driving over 3700km every month. I remember you already installed your EVSE? Otherwise, EV Power's RAS cost $1800 a month (unlimited kwh) and just $5000 setup fee. Maybe you can...

    Charger solution on private car parking space

    I did ask HKE about installation of sub-meter in my parking space and their answer is positive. I forwarded HKE's reply to management months ago and still don't get any updates from them. So I think Tesla's documents are helpful as long as issues such as billing/availability of power are...
