AEVA Forums

I like the flashing exhaust idea, but if the person in front has their head in their phone, they won't see it anyway. I love that EVs are quiet and don't contribute to noise pollution, but until our population gets used to quiet cars, I think it's reasonable to make some sort of warning noise. As so...

Depends on whether you drive like a Grandpa or a boy racer

Adverse Effects , can you see any of the images on this page, or are they all replaced with the "Image" text placeholder? I just tried taking on your privileges and I could still see all images on this page, so this seems not to be a permissions problem which is one of the theories I had been inves...

...What are they carving it out of stone with a toothpick before strapping it to a sloth trained in backstroke paddling it across from japan... I thought something similar when advised recently of a mid-December ETA for a replacement battery pack for our PHEV. We've contacted Mitsubishi Australia a...

... It only seems to be affecting members (blue username). rhills , that should be a big clue. I had thought so too, however when I trawled through the permissions yesterday, I could find nothing that either gave or retracted permission to view images so it is a real mystery. As 4springs is an AEVA...

This thread has now been locked at the request of the OP.
All further discussion is on Damon's Fiat 500e Project in the Members Machines forum.

...When asked about warranty they said 12 months. Que? So that means that a replacement battery has a much shorter warranty than the one that comes with a new vehicle? Does that mean they could get away with putting cheap cells in a replacement battery module that crap themselves after 13 months? I...

From what I have read in Australia and overseas I’m also not convinced there is enough technical depth of manufacturer or dealer after sales backup now or in the near future to justify the premium of buying a local model either. Our experience so far in having our Outlander PHEV repaired by Mitsubi...

Ah, the photos didn't appear in your first post, just image icons that don't seem to open. T1 Terry , the images have always been visible here, not sure why you couldn't see them. You might want to try force-refreshing your browser (<ctrl><F5> on most PC browsers) and see if that makes any differen...

brendon_m , you can contact another forum member by email simply by clicking on their name. This will take you to the member's profile page. The lower-left quarter of the page is labelled "contact [member name]" and has links to allow you to contact them via whatever means they have enabled. The OP...

Yes, that's right.
We use them for our motorhome now as we don't need one for the PHEV. We use your old Volt EVSE when we're out and about and the existing Mitsubishi EVSE stays at home plugged in to the 15A socket in the garage.

I agree g4qber that looks a better option than the Jaycar one so a great suggestion for others following along. For us, I already have the IP67 alternative that I bought as a replacement (Jaycar's one unfortunately) and now this one that I've repaired so I won't buy another unless my weatherproof on...

OK, I bought a replacement RCD today from MM Electrical at Rockingham. I bought a Clipsal RCBM210/30 240V/10A RCD and at $41.22, I thought I'd paid quite a lot for it until I saw the RRP on the Clipsal website. I know manufacturer RRPs are always a bit fantasy-land, but $182.20? I figured this must ...

Thanks brendon_m , I've found mm electrical to be cheaper than l&h for a lot of things so you should definitely see what they do them for if there is one near you I'd not heard of mm electrical before and it turns out there's one lurking almost across the road from our local L&H in Rockingham so I'l...

L&H have the same one but I'm not a sparky so I don't have a login to check the price. I notice they have two different 10A units, one with a "rated fault current" of 10mA and the other 30mA. The one in my converter is 30mA, is that the best rating to get, or a "cheaper option"? Also, in the blurb a...

Thanks for the reply and link reecho . I'd actually found that one already, thinking it looks like it'd work. Just need to be confident the specs are OK for the task (ie shutting down if something tries to pull more than 10A from the socket). If I believe Clipsal marketing, their gear is good qualit...

Hi all, I've got a Jaycar 10A-15A converter + RCD that has died on me. The orange LED on the side lights up when you plug it in to the wall and switch it on, but the socket in the unit itself is dead and the RCD shows no sign of life: the test button doesn't work and the on/off switch doesn't seem t...

Rarely happy to receive spam, but just received one from Nissan re the new Leaf which I was delighted to see. Sadly, the link from the email to the Nissan Website was to a page about a fancy new feature rather than hard info like "available to order NOW for $xxxxxx" so still all a bit "vapourwareish...

Re: the email being spam-listed, yeah that happens to the Secretary@ email address too. It's because I send our group emails with 300+ names in the BCC list. Google catches wind of this and starts spam-blocking by default. Hopefully Rob can sort something... I see that problem was reported in Octob...

Methinks your signature block needs updating, yes?

Hi Dave, I'm guessing you can't "dial up" the amount of regenerative braking in a Zoe? This is a feature of the Outlander PHEV that I really love. I can adjust the level of regen with the steering wheel paddles, rather like changing down gears in a manual (or Auto for that matter). I tweak regen up ...

I have no formal evidence for this, but the very strong vibe in Oz is that a decent swag of drivers are ready to upgrade to an EV, they're just waiting for the right price/range combination to be available to buy. From my previous experience, the only other obstacle is new vehicle salespeople dissua...

Thanks for the update @doggy, great to hear something positive about the Zoe. Maybe if Renault tried to sell them aggressively they'd have trouble keeping up with demand?

... This won't be cheap, so I would appreciate any financial support to cover this cost. I expect it to be a couple of hundred dollars at either end. I think the fairest way to do this would be for our profiteer to pay out of his legal but unethical windfall. As that is unlikely to happen, the next...
