The first charger has gone in at Lake Grace. Well done....!

Ahh yeah it's a bit of a mess...

However, the difference in power is considerable (350 kW vs 50 kW) and I am not sure if the car's battery will take it. BMW simply say that adapters should not be used, and an It's the car that determines max charging power so plugging into 350kw chargers won't make it go any higher and the adaptor...

Anyone know anything about best place for a new headlight ?

Umm. Not sure you have a lot of options. But considering the pricing for S & X headlights it ain't going to be cheap.

For tint go to your local tint shops. As the Kona has privacy glass in the rear 2 different tints will be used to keep it legal.

Paint protection is a personal choice and it depends if the car is garaged etc. The paint quality on my 2019 is very good and holding up well.

On the subject of caravan parks, is it OK to plug a 10a EVSE into a 15a caravan plug?

Yes perfectly fine...

But $10000 won't get you much of a normal home battery. Not saying it's specifically worth it but look at the competition, it's not that bad Rectifier Technologies based in Melbourne have announced the Highbury. https://www.rectifiertechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/985-1106-02-Highbury-D...

The 2020 Kona Electric has a 3 phase (11kw) charging option in Europe and the UK. Not for Australia. Pity. They have done what others have (looking at you BMW) and installed 3 x 3.6kw chargers on board. Sweet. To charge at 32A single phase they bridge L1 and L2 and energise 2 of the charger modules....

I am running an Iotawatt energy meter at home now to replace a flaky 10 year old Current Cost ENVIR. This works seamlessly with EmonCMS what @doggy uses above and also uploads to PVOutput.

Once everything is talking it sends an accurate voltage reference to the OpenEVSE and PV divert is a cinch.

I see you are getting an Iotawatt kit soon Doug. Me too. Looking forward to it.

New high score!

In the middle of winter no less.....

My Kona was at the dealer today for its 30’000km service. I took the opportunity to ask Doncaster Hyundai for a full EV Ionic as a loan car. I drove about 100km in the top of the range Ionic Premium. Well, I have to admit that if you forget the range difference* (311km vs 449km WLTP), the Ionic is ...

I don't want to be a party pooper but AUD713 + tax... It's incorrect to compare the type2/type2 cable to our product because chRget includes in its price also an adapter. Our EVSE with the Type2 automatically becomes a smart cable. Meanwhile, having just a type2/type2 cable you still need to purcha...

For the AU/NZ market plug 18 isn't required as they are very uncommon. Much more important for us is 10A and 15A versions of plug 32 type I and plug 19 (32A 3 phase 5 pin).

Trev's converted Hilux may give you some pointers...

The App problem version is 1.0.19 . If not too late, turn your auto-update off. I'm still on 1.0.18 but not game enough to test it during a long weekend... And I'm also on-call so I can't afford car problems. If anyone used their app without any issues in the last 48 hours, could you share what ver...

Please be aware that the Auto Link update on 3rd June has disabled 5-6 Konas and Ioniqs when used to remotely start the car. Reported on Hyundai EV Enthusiasts Australia (Ioniq & Kona) Facebook site. Cars needed flatbeds to tow them to dealers So early indications point to a failed remote start req...

No. I guess that's why he is intending on using a OVMS module.

Umm. no idea. Larry has one up the hill but not sure what it can do...

Ah thanks for the photos. Yes agreed. With my 2010 I-Miev it didn't have pilot signal pin fitted. So I did it myself a bit sneakily. I purchased the J1772 to 15A adaptor from Gelco and used the spare pin in the connector and added into my J1772 car harness with a 1N4148 diode and 882 Ohm resistor. ...

2011 onwards I-Miev have a separate control box mounted on top of the AC charger. I suspect that does the PWM charge current control and in turn sends commands to the AC charger below it. Do you mean the black box on top in this photo? UfhaIA2.jpg It's an AC filter box. This is what is inside it: J...

I posted the following addendum to the article, just as a comment, then it disappeared. Not sure what happened. Subsequent to the above article, our Kona had a problem and I took it to the dealer’s service department for investigation. In the end the problem could not be replicated and seems to hav...

Yes, my driving has been tempered by my better half. I just did some research and found this translation from Norwegian tek.no site... “ Hyundai Kona was already one of the electric cars on the market with the longest range in its class, but now Hyundai is taking further steps. New tires from March...

So where is this signal going to, and could that be added or activated in my charger? It looks like it goes to the on-board charger. But also it may get processed (buffered? amplified? filtered?) and sent on to the EV-ECU: Pilot signal to charger.png Complete schematic that the above was taken is i...
