AEVA Forums

Hi all - reminder that the September meeting is Wed 12th (tomorrow as I type this). Meeting notice did go out some time ago as it is the AGM! Nominations received for all positions, so no need to avoid coming in case you thought you'd get 'roped in'. ;) We DO need you to come to hear about AEVA Vic'...

BTW: if anybody wants the later one: I have pdf's of both the Mk5 owner manual and its wiring schematics - just PM me if you want either.

Cheers

Hi Lou - unfortunately what you are asking for is 'how long is a piece of string'! It can range between $600 and $10,000 depending on if/how much upgrade work is needed to supply 32A. If you want a detailed consumer oriented info article on the ins & outs of installing an EVSE at home - see ReNew ma...

Just in passing for those looking to assess a secondhand Leaf. My 2011 Leaf has 9 bars left at 40,000km but still does 100km in summer and 80 in winter. Guess-o-meter is absolutely useless for knowing range on it though. Leaf-Spy very much more helpful.

Short answer: unless you are using it as a base to rebuild to your own specifications, don't! (They are a nightmare to fix as no two are the same).

Likely release is Feb 2019. Hoping for a more definite announcement from Hyundai at the EV Expo & Conference in Brisbane. (They are bringing one to the Expo I believe: looking forward to seeing it!!)

Hi there-a few quick answers as an electrician and trade teacher. 10mA is for medical area use. Cheap RCDs are a matter of 'you get what you pay for' - have seen several failures (and recalls) of cheapies. Clipsal ones are quite good. L&H not small customer oriented-they target large customers and o...

And the topic is:.... (drum roll) ....

'Making your home EV ready: tips and traps when planning your EVSE installation'

I can't tell you. The answer would be shocking ...

Hi all - not my ad, just found it browsing FleaBay this morning. 1979 Otis 48V van. Could be an interesting resto??? Is located in Glossodia, New South Wales.

Hi there - depends on space and how many I get! Intending to squeeze them all (!!??) in, unless I get buried in the rush - in which case I'll save a couple for later editions of EV News.

Hi there Lou- you probably know this, but for other readers: CCS being used here is CCS2, which is Mennekes (ac) plus the 2 dc pins at the bottom. Plug is compatable, but there is no way to use dc back to ac (Zoe currently is ac only - but 3 phase/32A max per phase so not too shabby but no fast dc c...

Old news. I wrote about the potential for Chinese dominance of the EV future due to their single minded intent to promote the industry and the size of their market several years ago in ReNew!

Not sold here yet though. My 'sub $130k' was referring to Oz offerings. Old Leaf has no tow rating.

Hi all - have just checked out the latest Australian brochure for the Kangoo ZE. It now lists the same towing capacity as the UK one. (Finally!) Link: https://www.renault.com.au/sites/default/files/pdf/brochure/Kangoo-ZE-Brochure-Desktop_0.pdf May not be much at 322kg, but it's the first sub $130k E...
