Hi there-AVC2 works well for both of those functions. Been in my Berlingo EV for 2-3 years now. Best function BTW is the lockout one: WAY easier than setting up micro switches on filler flap etc.

It's the Leaf 2.ZERO being released here. Leaf 3.ZERO was released in Jan this year for US, Japan, Europe etc. (Sadly, we arn't in the 'etc'). The 3.ZERO has propilot etc. (BTW Leaf 3.ZERO is 40kWh, Leaf 3.ZERO e+ is the 63kWh battery one. 3.ZERO e+ becomes available mid-year, pre-orders started ove...

Hi there: welcome to the EV early adopter world! Dealers really don't know how to deal with the reduced service needs of EVs/how to modify their business model. (Nissan dutifully send me 6 monthly service reminders for my Leaf ...which I dutifully ignore till 24 months pass since the last service .....

Hmn, didn't know they came with a hydrogen option (one is parked in a bay marked H2

Oops - yes, MARCH 13th.
Will amend the post.

Our next meeting topic will showcase a display and discussion around the Renault Twizy EV quadracycle (The only one in Australia!) plus an outline of the European quadracycle vehicle category. BTW: the Twizy will also be on display at the MARCH 16th Melbourne EV Expo run by Renew. (See separate noti...

Hi there Raoul-only 2013 onwards had the option of a 6.6kW charger. All 2011 and 2012 ones have 3.6. Therefore 'virtually' all Australian delivered ones (which are 2011 or 2012) are 3.6. There were 1 or 2 late demonstrators spotted with the lower hump behind the back seat signifying charger had move...

Hi there Raoul-check the laters EVNews- there are a couple advertised there.

Kona electric is not yet homologated for towing in any market.
Rumour is it will be, but don't hold your breath ....

Hi there-has the old 2G SIM been changed to 3G? (Nissan were contacting owners and doing this for free a couple of years ago).

Hi to all Vic members (and interstate travelers to Melb on the day): our next AEVA Vic branch general meeting will be Wednesday February 13th. Usual place and time: that being a 7pm start at the Blackflat Community Hall, corner Springvale and Waverley Rds, Glen Waverley. Meeting topics for discussio...

Melb dealer reportedly has taken 10 deposits for Kona electrics already.

Hi-agree re dealers not being good sources of coming vehicle info. Have put myself on as many interest/info/press release lists with Hyundai as well as dealers as I can in the hope of getting reliable info. Will post as soon as I hear anything definite.

Hi there - can vouch for that one - did a few repairs on it early last year for them. Is a good car. Has done a fair few k's since I last saw it though!

Was at the 2018 event with Melb Uni. (I work as there as the e-car safety trainer/electrical systems advisor). Was their first electric car-and they came 7th out of 14 EV entrants. (About 32 all up inc fossil cars). Bloody good result for first-ever EV! Event is fantastic showcase for EV development...

Hi there - given the price of importing a 30kW Leaf vs the cost of a new Zoe or Ioniq, I'd buy one of them instead. Zoe has a better range than the 30kW Leaf anyway. (BTW: Zoes do not have DC fast-charge though, 22kW on 3 phase is the fastest they will go). NB: the 30kW Leaf does not have any form o...

Possibly overtemp sensors limiting power. Could be controller, motor or BMS. If it does not reoccur in cooler weather - that probably is it. The Blades without cooling do not like really hot weather. Given the difficulty (read: 'impossibility') of getting into the programming for either the AZD cont...

Hi there Phil - below is from a slide in my presentation at the AEVA Brisbane EV Expo. Hope it helps.

Hi all - the EV tuk-tuk done by RMIT students has left for all points north. Lots of traffic last week within the committees about meeting up with it - bit last-minute for Melb AEVA though as we only found about it last week! Other states will get a better chance to organise events though. Have fun....

Hi all - would like to add a note of caution that built-in RCD protection is listed as 'optional'. IF you were thinking about ordering one - you must order it with Type B RCD protection. As for switching 16A currents without a decent sized relay to be seen - seems to me a rather unlikely candidate f...

December 12 will see our usual '2nd Wed of the month' monthly meeting and presentation. 7pm start at the Blackflat Community Hall, corner Springvale and Waverley Rds, Glen Waverley.

In that case, yours has the electronics. ☺ It will talk the EVSE into turning on and pull from the wall EVSE whatever the charger is set for. (Blades never pull much, so the chances of it exceeding the EVSE settings and confusing things are pretty close to nill). Cheers Bryce

Not a safe assumption. My mk5 Blade had a J1772 but did not charge on EVSEs. The one I am working on now plus last one I fixed both do. (Those were both 'upgraded' versions. Mine was an early fitted J1772 version). Easy to test, try it on either a portable or wall mount EVSE! Cheers Bryce

Or come to my talk at the Brisbane conference/expo. Its on the conversion process and staying sane throughout. (If that's possible
