Melb to Perth by Tesla?
Hi David, Thank you for your enquiry. We do not have 3 phase outlets available, and it would depend on the time of year you are travelling. We would not be able to supply 3 x 15Amp power point during peak season. Our peak season runs from March to November. Regards, Reception Port Augusta BIG4 Holid...

We have our own electric hwy on the East Coast but unfortunately you need a Tesla to use it. It is between Syd & Melb. Syd & Bne this year. They are building Port Macquarie now. With care you should get to PMac from Syd & get another part charge using Plugshare before hitting Bne where there are hig...

A Tesla techician told me that a tesla owner attemped the crossing using his wall unit which was never intended as a travelling unit. It failed from vibration and he was left stranded and had to be flat-bedded to his destination. Was this Steve B? . If so the crossing is still waiting to be conquere...

I use a three phase set of Variacs to control capacitors connected to an induction alternator. The Variacs are rated at 25A. If set at 160V position you could produce 6kVA x 3 x 2/3 = 12kVA for charging a 400V battery. Might serve as a rough non finishing charger. Need 6 diodes on a heat sink & outp...

Does this device connect directly with the traction battery? To do this using 3 phases it would need full bridge rectifier & handshake etc.

I hope to drive at around 70ks. The range calc says you can get 700ks at this speed so Id use 600ks planned range per day with 19 inch wheels at max psi. Is 3 ph charging using 3 phases or is it just a plug using the higher current available from these?

Im not such a puritan Kurt. I used this genset on my earlier trips to Canberra and Adelaide (converted Diahatsu) which had a max range of 150ks. It was only used once Keith to Horsham 200ks (also tailgated a truck at 110ks). It is a range insurance policy & was outside the car. No fuel carried excep...

On checking the cost of the train I might do better to return via Albany. One Caravan Park advised they couldnt offer three outlets during peak season March to November. Plugshare indicates a paucity of power but any caravan park could be approached I guess. The remote ones are most likely diesel po...

In fact each circuit would have a CB & contactor & the 3 pin plug fitted with a position uswitch such that no power flows until all plugs are in position & turned on thus preventing a 3PP becoming energised if unused. Unused 3PPs would be put in a dummy GPO. The box housing the above would have line...

You might be able to double triple etc by bringing multiple 15A male plugs and bringing them into a switch box to common before going to wall charger. The trick is to find all your supplies from the one phase or you will short out 415V. 3 such units will give you 45A. Another approach is to have an ...
