A good summary of where Aust (and the world) are in EV adoption today - including interviews with AEVA members Kathleen Davis (as an EV owner) and Rus Sheppard (corporate member EVolution).

Congrats! Still waiting for mine. (I foolishly have specified my interior and exterior colours!).
BTW: Am finding my long lost range anxiety is creeping back as I wait eagerly for a 400 plus km range

As a former motorkhana competitor through the RCCV: I would have been interested but apologies, I never noticed your posts.
Love the idea of an electric motorkhana special. That car must have scared a few/all of the fossil competitors!

I was there with my conversion - and no complaints whatsoever about the winner. You got a bloody well deserved award Damon! (Personally, I would have also awarded you the 'certifiable nutter for doing it' award to go alongside it ... but perhaps there are too many others deserving of that one in the...

Launch edition does not have satnav.

On-the-road pricing (or even ads on CarSales) not yet to be seen, so keeping the Kona electric on the Fact Sheet (http://www.aeva.asn.au/sites/default/files/public/u552/Aust%20BEVs%20PHEVs%2019.2.26_0.pdf) as a 'TBC' guestimate on pricing till it happens. (Mind-you, the guesstimate is a bit out ... ...

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

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.
Cheers

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...
