    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity?

    It's probably the only plan which genuinely encourages you to use power when more renewables are in the grid. (ie it's cheaper!)

    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity?

    Bad time to be signing up. I did last June got scared off by a spike and came back a few months later in spring.

    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity?

    A lot over spring. But I’m guessing retail prices will follow what wholesale is doing anyway eventually. Not really we really only just shift some usage around. But I work from home so easy to do. If you are not home during the day it probably won’t work. We do have most things in the house...

    Anybody have direct experience with Amber Electricity?

    Been on Amber for nearly 9 months in nsw. It is more expensive over winter but that is balanced out by the previous months. No battery only solar. Using chargehq on price and solar charging. I do have automatic solar curtailment setup via home assistant. Yes I do need to adjust the charging...

    Superchargers in Australia

    Yeah agreed but here in oz is so different than to over in Norway Tesla super charger pricing is really competitive in Norway not the case here. His 1000km challenges are great combing charging speed and efficiency together in a single real test.

    Tesla Model Y - Whilsting Noise Unresolved - Regret ever buying the car

    I had this in my model y, whistling at around 60-80ks, the front drivers and passengers window glass had moved out of alignment and the service tech put it back, noise gone. Couldn't believe such a small thing caused the noise

    Powerwall 3 Roadmap - 3 Phase Coming!

    Configure max export rate on the inverter, so will just curtail production when full

    EV Energy plans - NSW

    Unless your 11kw system is hooked up to a energy meter and you can set a 5kw export limit. Then ovo would never know and you can still self consume the rest.

    EV Energy plans - NSW

    OVO won't have a clue, like a 6.6kw system with a 5kw inverter, just signup if you feel this is a good plan. For low usage this becomes a larger factor.

    EV Energy plans - NSW

    Depends on your other power usage. Ev plans are not always the best option. Eg. OVO stings you with higher rates for the other times. Powershop stings you with peak period all year around, For us our ev is only about 1/3 of the energy use. so the other 2/3 means the ev plans are not the...

    That’s actually one good point of the new Evie app. Set the filter to ccs2 and it remembers that! Plug counts are now always correct.

    Supercharger - Melbourne (Brighton East)

    Just charged here tonight. The in car nav is nowhere near the location and can’t direct you to it. Had to check PlugShare to get the exact location. Speed was good saw a max is 160kw so good to get a little more juice early on.

    32 Amp Single Phase UMC Charging - Current Dropping

    your tail is in the shade? I’ve had the amperage drop because the plug was in the sun

    Why has Tesla's charging advice changed

    No idea, plug seems to slip in without too much hassle, We are using chargehq so car is plugged in whenever it's home, Haven't given it too much thought, if it does start wearing out the temp will increase and the car would know about the wear. Maybe should lookup the plug specs and what sort...

    Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) in Australia

    Make sure if that main switch is replaced the Sparky leaves a 1/2 unit width gap around it for cooling and not jam it up against the other breakers, same with your 32a outlet one, that neeeds a 1/2 unit gap around it to prevent nuisance tripping.

    Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) in Australia

    Don't worry about the max draw, a C curve 63A breaker won't pop on the startup spikes same as the 80A fuse. Even if it hits 100A spike no issue. It's to protect your 16mm cable and that will have no issues. Your Sparkly will give the same advice. But you are far better off with a 63A breaker...

    Model Y number of charge cycles?

    4 months into owning a model y rwd, just ticked over 18000 klms, still says 432km rated range at 100% charge was 435km, According to the scan my tesla I just ticked over 60 charge cycles, and I don't think it's even settled in yet. I believe the rated range is 429km Long term no idea, I just...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    My CTP was $106 cheaper in the end, I think the CTP price is just an initial estimate, so that changes over time, once you get to the final invoice stage the ctp price would take into account your postcode. So for each config change the price of the configurator get used. now it's $437

    Yes you can, but you need your phone on you it won't open if the car can't be unlocked. The button on the tesla chargers will open the charge port regardless of the cars locked state

    Supercharger - Campbelltown, NSW

    Easy workaround is just to make all charging spaces slightly larger to the disabled size, then they will be usable by anyone.

    3 phase charger with 1-phase solar

    Mine was 6mm2 but the cable attached to the house was already 25mm Aluminum already so just got my mains from the point of attachment to the meterbox updated to 16mm2, it may be a cheaper route and will give you 7kw charging no issues. Going 3 phase may not be worth the extra costs

    Evie EV charging networks

    I haven’t paid attention to the units. But I’m guessing 350kw the power units don’t live in the dispensers. If that’s the case easy to stay under the cap only have 350kw worth of power units installed shared between the 2 dispensers. They may be 25kw units or 50kw units etc.. Personally don’t...

    Evie EV charging networks

    Wouldn’t the chargers be taking to each other given both drawing 350kw at the exact same time would be non existent. You would easily get away with a 350kw power budget for the site.

    Reversing issues in new MYP = accident

    Never thought about #4 too. I seem ok with it but maybe because of driving a manual. Also I only really use the camera for the distance not the lines. With the mirrors I didn’t know they can have a reverse position. They just tilt down. But for me that seems to work

    What to expect when you're expecting (Australia Delivery Process)
