Are they heat pump or resistive cab heating?

Resistive heating for us. Other cold markets get heat pump.

The story I got about the delay was that it was due to an issue with the GPS navigation system. There is no homologation delay as can be seen here: http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/pls/wwws/pubrvcs.view_app_details?sCertID=48794&sMakeModel=HYUNDAI+OS Homologolation and certification are two different...

Got an update today. Delays in certification apparently. Now gunning for early April...

Andy any pics of the scoot and what licence category is it?

I was told by Nissan WA that Propilot will not be available. It certainly wasn't activated on the demo Leaf they had at EK...

In regards to the IGN and SRT wires go for the higher gauge wires like coil feed and starter motor solenoid feed but fit appropriate fusing for the items connected. That will avoid any volt drop with lighter gauge circuits.

So my car is in bond store. Hyundai are delaying releasing them for a couple of weeks. The Iron Man special edition cars were on the same boat and they turned up at the dealer yesterday. Gggrrr...

I'm going to test drive the X1 next week. I guess the main competition in my mind the ZEV S6000 . The biggest concern other than the price is the small wheels and form factor of the X1. I just don't see it being a good commuter for me (22km each way, 80kph zones, some long steep hills). Leaning tow...

Does it have a spare tyre?

No is doesn't and it doesn't have clearace for a spacesaver either...

Pricing should be announced this week. But bank on $50k to $55k plus ORC for the 2 models. The Kona EV will have 2 retail models (Elite and Highlander) and a special fleet model that will sit under the elite. Both Elite and Highlander models will be fitted with an 8" touch screen featuring Apple Car...

Good to meet up with you tonight Terry...

Water ingress for sure....

Any interest in selling the battery pack

I'm sure he will. But you will get a free car included..

So Reecho - yourself and Harald have ordered one in Perth, there was one more you mentioned?

Yeah but for the sake of confidentiality I won't mention them without them knowing first.

Found another person on Reddit who's ordered as well..

This car has been "doing the rounds" according to others. It's not new stock for sale.

But I'm liking the lighter interior. Not sure what's on the boat though..

I have ordered one...Or perhaps preordered one..

The first batch of cars for WA will hit the wharf this month according to the dealer. With a little snooping that means the 19th Feb.

$50K for the Elite spec and $55k for the Premium/Highlander spec plus ORC in WA.

According to a dealer in Melbourne pre orders have started.

Are they ordering the tow kit?

In Europe they are fitting the standard ICE towbars to the EV version and there's pics floating around to show it.
Here not so much...

Is there a protective boot that could be used?

The fuel filler isn't known to be dry...

I'm not a fan of fuel door microswitches. It will be a weak point.

I'm thinking the ZEVA BMS Core has some functionality for inhibits you can use..??

Has the telematics module been changed?

According to a dealer in Melbourne pre orders have started. In WA they know nothing. We are called Wait Awhile for a reason..

There are EVSE's available to do this like this.. https://www.khonsevse.com/product/portable-evse-charger-2/ You would of course need to swap the euro blue plug for a 32A version. For me I have some OpenEVSE parts to make up something if required. Blown up Tesla wall chargers make an excellent donor...

I notice that the I-Pace, Tesla and many other pure EVs still have an auxiliary 12V battery. For the I-Pace, it's an AGM battery, not Lithium, so it's likely to only have a lifetime of ~ 5 years. Worse, it appears that if the aux battery runs down, the whole vehicle is disabled. Presumably, they've...

Maybe. But it doesn't stop MVA's taking out nice Teslas..

The new battery packs have LEV50N cells which require software updates to the BMU and then calibration with the CMU's. Nicely packaged on a CD but useless unless you have an MUT-III diagnostic tool and the applicable modules for I-Miev.
