PVMaster for setup and monitoring locally. SEMS Portal for monitoring everywhere.

No active battery management in a 2020MY EV in Australia is just about inexcusable in my opinion. But in saying that the Gen 1 is a great drive especially on the highway.

Just not for long...

No Nissan warranty eh?. That would drop my bid price by 2/3rds...

Cheapest option for off grid storage is to grab the AVASS cells, A ZEVA BMS, isolator, and display... https://www.zeva.com.au/index.php?product=140 and a AC retrofit inverter like the Goodwe 5000S-BP. ... I have this exact setup on a test rig at home and have no trouble charging my EV. Reecho, my 2...

I have a MPP Solar 2424MSE surplus to requirements here. It was used on a set of AVASS cells for a bit. Any interest?

A friend of mine has a tesla, 5kW of solar, and a single phase connection. Apparently he cannot expand his system even with export limiting as Synergy have a rule against it, without going to a battery, or three phase. Does anyone know if there's a way around this or an exemption for those with an ...

Hi guys, Here's my 1970 Beetle I've been restoring for the last couple of years. In the last few months I've finished the panel and paint and now I'm starting on the fun stuff :) Mounted on the original transaxle is a Nissan leaf motor and inverter which will likely be controlled by an openinverter...

I'm waiting for my Kona EV. It's to replace a VW Tiguan of "dieselgate" fame. The Tiguan, like the Kona EV has an Autohold function that basically stops the brake fluid from leaving the wheel cylinders once the wheels stop turning, until you touch the throttle. It's a helpful thing in traffic and o...

Just a note that the BMU is not field firmware upgradable for the degradation issues. Mitsubishi in Japan may well have a new BMU developed that fixes the issue by now though..

Awesome old girl.... "Has anyone been able to successfully integrate a Type 2 or Chademo charger into a conversion? Is public fast charging feasible?" Type 2 AC charging is a snap. ChaDeMo DC fast charging is now doable if you use Orion BMS......BUT.....Your battery voltage will need to be in the 36...

Kona electric ground clearance is 158mm. Standard ICE variants are 170mmm.

Bluelink uses an embedded modem inside the AVN unit for comms. For Australia we have an add on 4G/GPS/OBD module that is plugged into the OBD port permanently. We don't have any controls available on the MyHyundai webpage either.

Ahh. We don't have Bluelink in Australia. We have a bastardised version of Autolink from ICE variants..

I also built an OpenEVSE last July, so 17 months ago. It is a three phase unit in a bigger box (I still have the single phase box that came with the advanced kit if anyone wants one) I might grab the box Dave if it's no longer required. PM the details... :-) Are you using OpenEVSE firmware or EMONE...

For emergency power, I wanted to put a 1000w inverter directly of the model3 battery. I was thinking about putting a 120amp x 40cm (with 100amp fuse) wire to a surface mounted 100amp anderson plug located in the frunk. I could then put the car in neutral and run the inverter. Can anyone see any fla...

Apparently the Leaf can do house power backup so is that something to look forward to with Tesla?. We have have serious power disruptions approximately twice a year and never get so much as an offer of compensation for lost food resulting. Not happy. As a rule no. CCS protocol doesn't include VTH o...

Are these or similar available in Au? At a price that is not prohibitive? https://www.designwerk.com/en/fast-chargers

Ah...yeah....prohibitive...

Thanks for your replies, Those OpenEVSE photos are great. Is that 3 phase unit squeezed into a smaller local box, I can't judge the dimensions of box and those thicker cables? Chris, I will also require a single phase unit for my EV, so the convenience of lighter weight and more flexible cables sho...

Pics:

OpenEVSE has been brilliant so far. I have assembled a single phase version with 32A 3 phase plug for my Kona and also a 3 phase 32A version with long leads for a spare. They don't out of the box have DC offset protection but that can be mitigated with a correctly chosen RCBO in the supply. I use th...

I'm eagerly awaiting a 3rd party battery upgrade available in Australia at a sensible cost (am I dreaming?). Nissan Australia have a $9990 battery swap program but the vehicle needs to meet certain criteria for approval. On the aftermarket front solutions are available to enable 30 and 40Kwh batter...

Kona is 98S not 96

Perhaps the space saver spare wheel that comes with the petrol Kona will then fit in the rear.

They don't. Some new Kona ICE models now have pump and goo as well.

Get a 10A or even an 8A portable evse for travelling. Then you can plug into any 10A powerpoint safely.

The EVSE supplied with the Kona and Ioniq are 6/8/10A adjustable via press button on the back...

Do you have a phone that supports Android Auto or Apple Carplay?

That would be the better way to go. $200 won't go far though. they start around the $400 mark..
