Aparently Hyundai in India sell the Kona electric with a spare. (Was watching an Indian video of the Kona electric and there was a quick reference and shot of it). Still to source one though. Cheers Bryce

One in Wangaratta Vic. Listed in EVNews for sale section - that's the AEVA national newsletter. If you're not a member, PM me with an email address to get a complimentary copy. (BTW: iMiEV not mine: but I do have my 2011 Leaf listed there ☺)

Hi all - first 2020 Victorian AEVA branch meeting will be Wednesday Feb 12th. Topic: Bryan Drummond's recent conversion of an MGB. Talk and vehicle present on the night. Also - the preliminary details for the 2020 EV Vision Conference, Awards Dinner, Expo and Try/Drive event to be announced that nig...

Hi Chris-asking price, car details etc are all in EVNews ad. (Too much to retype here). Price obviously negotiable if you don’t want Vic rego, RWC, Zappy and BYO EVSE lead (as described in ad). Contact me through details in EVNews ad if intested. Cheers Bryce

Hi there - my recommendations (as an electrician and EVSE installer/tinkerer) is I'd go with a Zappy or similar: in your situation, that would ensure you get the most out of solar charging and keep your EV to the min CO2-e possible. Putting in dedicated EVSE with its heavy duty type 2 plug also avoi...

Hi there - speaking as the Vic branch secretary: for one branch to do that for (probably) one or 2 cars at most - it is way too much work to establish and maintain. (The cars after all must still be over 25 years old to be considered for a club permit). BTW: I am a member of another car club that ma...

Hi there - no, AEVA is not a CAMS registered car club, which I believe makes it ineligible for applying to maintain a Club Rego register. What sort of car are you wanting to CH plate? Would it be possible to join a car club for the marque and CH plate it through them? Cheers Bryce Secretary: AEVA Vi...

Ditto for the whole of Victoria re DC fast chargers on most major routes .... NSW and QLD are way ahead.
Cheers
Bryce
P.S. Moe DC fast-charger now open.

Hi Dave-did it in a Kona about 2 months ago. Bairnsdale to Myrtleford. Arrived with about 100km range to spare. (Was running heater over the mountain though. 0 and below and still lots of snow then).There is a type 2 AC charger at Hotham if you are nervous though.

Hi all Vic (and traveling interstate members passing through): this months meeting (Wednesday 13th November) will be an informal pub meet-up, meal, chat and general tyre kick at the Wheelers Hill Hotel, Ferntree Gully Rd, Wheelers Hill. Come at 6.30pm for a bite to eat first. Should have the table j...

Hi there-I've been trying out regional NSW DC charging on was back from Expo to Melb in my Kona. (via Coffs Harbour!!) Seems to be a few at least. Went up the coast up to Coffs (1 charge on way up) then inland to Tamworth and Dubbo DC chargers. (Only used Dubbo one tonight ... over dinner ... as car...

Correct. We never had Australian delivered AZEOs. All the AZEOs here are grey imports.
Cheers
Bryce

And they never were available. (Till now )
If pressed, VicRoads only ever supplied the Hybrid stickers. (Which were on my Kona when it was delivered!!??)
Cheers
Bryce

The Leaf they sent them for is registered as a 2011 model. My 2019 Kona has not been sent any! BTW the Vic regs have actually applied for quite some time - I have been getting them made to the Vic reg specs (as in just like the ones they sent!) for about 7 years.
Cheers
Bryce

Interestingly (owning 3 EVs), I only received one set of stickers (for the Leaf). Nothing for the other 2. I wonder how accurate their records are... or were they were overwhelmed by so many EVs on their records that they had to send the sticker out in several batches?

Hi there-fact sheets are as correct as I can get them given the difficulty of getting some of the data 'officially'! All are currently right though. (I monitor for vehicle updates). BTW: As far as I understand it-all Type 1 and 2 plug cars can step up and down in a fairly granular manner. Cheers Bryce

Hi all - was browsing the car auction sites and noticed 9 Leafs listed at Pickles. First couple I clicked on had 9 of the 12 capacity bars remaining (same as mine) - so would have 90 - 100km left as a summer range. (more perhaps if you're not a leadfoot :-) ) They do appear to be Aust delivered vers...

Welcome! Enjoy the EV Grin as it develops. (Due to no more tailpipe pollution, the ability to wean off fossil fuels, and the stunning ride that all EVs give you. )
Cheers
Bryce

Hi Patrick - I have offered them to the dealers, but they appear uninterested.

FYI: VicRoads have NEVER had them.

Contact me for a pair. $10 a set posted. Profits to AEVA.

Cheers
Bryce

Hi everyone, is there any material you can share on this as I'm in the same boat trying to find a solution to charging near home as I only have street parking. Trying to get something installed at work as well. I started approaching local businesses to see if they'd be interested in installing char...

Excellent! I will contact the various places and plant the seed. What is the best method for me to contact the sub-committee? As for joining, I am currently working 12 hour days, but when/if it slows down in the future I am happy to become a revolutionary. Cheers, Patrick Hi Patrick - just contact ...

Hi all - this is the usual reminder for our monthly AEVA Vic branch meeting. Happens again this Wednesday, October 9th. Main talk tonight will be on Bryce's EV Long Weekend Tour of Victoria: 7 days and 2500km later, Hear how both Kona electric and person performed over the trip. (Spoiler alert: one ...

Hi there - the EVSE will work fine for 12 years and beyond. It's just an automatic power point really. I installed my 7kW one 5 years ago, and it is no different to the same model offered for sale now by that company. How the 'dumb' ones work will never change. It's the 'smart' ones that might chang...

Any EVSE set to a lower limit will be fine. I built my 3.6kW portable EVSE specifically for caravan park 15A outlets. Worked perfectly on the EV Long Weekend tour with my Kona. BTW, from memory the Kona itself can be set for lower charge rates if you want it to.
Cheers
Bryce

Day 7. And enough via the granny charger to go direct to ECOSS, but not enough as I was going by Geelong. Lucky the first stop is at the Geelong Mode 3 charger. 😊 A short walk into town to do some shopping and a coffee until the organised leaving time. Hung on a bit longer to make sure of enough cha...
