Hi Chris, A rather diplomatically written article... That's one way of putting it I guess. If you only read the first paragraph or two and you're easily influenced by these things, you'd rush out and buy one. However, if you read through to the end, and you'd followed this thread, you'd see a patter...

...Lithium titanate batteries are more like 10,000 cycles, 10 years, 50 °C, but not simultaneously.

Methinks a variant of the old adage of "Good, Fast, Cheap, pick any two" applies here

Hi Peter, My conclusion, like the one earlier in the thread, is that it is the Volt itself, not the Volt EVSE that is causing RCDs to trip itermittently. My experience is obviously quite different from yours as we don't own a Volt. Maybe our EVSE (which I purchased from g4qber with full disclosure a...

Hi Peter, Probably not much help to you, but I use a Volt EVSE to charge my Mitsubishi Outlander when I am out. My experience has been that it will only trip out if used on 10A sockets. I use it reasonably regularly on a 15A socket and from memory it has never tripped out on one of those. Mine will ...

Sounds like something our consumer advocates might be interested in.

Are any of you who have hard facts to hand a member of Choice? If so, maybe report it on their Choice Help page.

Alternatively, the ABC's Consumer program The Checkout could well be interested...

Looks good to me. One tweak you might consider is to move the Delay(500) to either the end or the beginning of the loop. The value of sensorValue isn't going to change after it is read at the first line of the loop() routine no matter how long you delay so to me it's more logical to read the value, ...

Well, I for one will do my darndest to support them any way I can. As our WA country travels these days are in our motorhome, I'll make sure I fill it up with diesel there whenever I'm within cooee of them and explain to them why I have chosen to do so.

Great that they can be looked at here in Perth, but I'll still wait until I can actually drive one. Anyone know how much the Kangoo is? These vehicles are still hard to find on the Renault web site, still only found under "Future vehicles" which would give the average punter the message that they ca...

Hi Guys, In another forum I haunt, someone has asked about replacing existing AGM "house" batteries in a Recreational Vehicle with some "Lead Crystal" batteries. From my brief reading, Lead Crystal batteries are the absolute beez neez and will cure everything from the common cold to AIDS. So, I am s...

I've been watching this debate with interest; much of the detail, from much cleverer brains than mine, is over my head. However, this one caught my eye... 1- the capacitors we are using have the energy delivery in terms of kWh not in AH while LTO is in Ah Admittedly I did secondary school Physics ba...

...If your friend is making that much money from his power exports he is likely on a high feed in tariff, which may get cancelled if he installs a battery. I don't know what the situation is in Queensland, but he would need to look carefully at the terms, as a battery might make him less money... E...

Hi Coulomb, Then there are the hybrids; I believe you drive on yourself, Rob. When you start the ICE, is that with the 12 V battery or the hybrid battery? I'm guessing the latter, but it possibly depends on how they design it. Especially with something like the Outlander which comes in ICE only and ...

I'm no expert, but my experience with Pb batteries is that when they reach the end of their tether they can have random "collapse" episodes and then behave perfectly normally in between. As Murphy is usually involved, collapses usually happen at the least convenient moment

Has anyone bought a new Renault ICE in recent years? Are they as reluctant to sell their ICE models?

HTH,

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the facts

If you get a chance, you or Richard may want to listen to the podcast of this morning's ABC Perth show (starting from 8:30am) and perhaps ring in today or tomorrow to correct any misinformation. If you've not done so already of course!

Cheers,

Rob

I heard this morning's ABC Radio Perth stand-in presenter announce this saying that "because of the popularity of Electric Vehicles" the government fuel tax revenues were falling. Have EV sales suddenly grown by several orders of magnitude while I was out bush over the past fortnight? I wanted to ri...

rhills, do you have a battery SOH (Ah capacity reading or PMC) before and after this issue? Thanks for the comments guys. zzcoopej unfortunately I don't have any of those measurements. I admit I've not pushed for them from the dealer the way others have, but my experience so far with Mitsubishi EV ...

Hi Paul, Hmmm, thought I'd updated this tale, but evidently not. Melville Mitsubishi ended up having our vehicle for over a month. They offered us a replacement drive (non-EV/PHEV) after a couple of weeks from memory. I called them weekly for an update and after drawing a blank on their own troubles...

With regulations, you have to read every word carefully IMHO: Each battery compartment should be labelled with the appropriate hazard symbols for the battery chemistry in use . (my emphasis). To me that doesn't mean you have to specify what the battery chemistry is, just warn about the hazards "appr...

I buy a lot of stuff online, so I've got used to making purchases without feeling the need to touch beforehand. However, despite this and my passion for EVs, I couldn't bring myself to spend this kind of money without a test drive at least and I believe most car buyers would feel the same. So, eithe...

Thanks @4Springs. The light comes on all the time and doesn't change with any flexing of the input cable. However, the RCD test button doesn't do anything so I'm guessing the input is OK, but there's either a problem within the RCD relay or between it and the input cable within the box itself.

Hi All, Bought a Jaycar 15A-10A converter a bit over 3 years ago when we bought our PHEV. Initially used it occasionally when charging the PHEV from a 10A powerpoint, don't believe it ever got wet. For the past year or so we have had it in a shed and used it to plug in our mobile home when it's not ...

I've been away for the past 3 weeks, but I believe I read somewhere that the Renaults are only available in the Eastern States, can anyone confirm or deny?

Dyson announces it is 2 years into a plan to produce an EV by 2020.

I'm sure there are lots of puns lurking in this one
