From a grid point of view they absolutely love batteries! What does a residential connection do now? Go up and down, peaks and troughs all day long. What does a residential connection with a battery do? The peaks drop, the troughs rise, it gets closer and closer to a nice straight line. A network op...

Just crossposted this in the Vic branch forum (specifically the Euroa site), it may get more traction there!

Hi guys, sorry to crosspost but thought I may get a better response in here! Is anyone in the Vic branch willing to take on the challenge of encouraging the owner/manager of the Euroa Coles Express to get a DC fast charger installed, where the Tesla supercharger used to be? More details: http://foru...

Hi there-standard (and car) requires the lead to be 'dead' if car is not charging. Electronics in evse are needed for car to accept electricity from evse. Just a type 2 socket will not work for a mass market ev. (See Modular Power AVC2 for pilot and control explanation evse electronics also availab...

My off-peak tariff runs from 9pm to 7am, so can pull 70kWh from the grid over that period. In the hypothetical future I'd like to have my families Leaf and Model 3 (which have done 20-30 km each commuting), and a friend's Kona (who has driven 200 km from Launceston to stay overnight) and have the a...

Look up OpenEVSE "hydra" Don't know if it's still in development.... Found a video! It looks good for a homemade creation, but doesn't seem to do what I wanted (it doesn't intelligently balance the supply - e.g. when he connects the second load the first drops from 30A to 15A even though the second...

Thats for the info everyone! jonescg The charging a battery looks interesting... if I went that route I would get a proper home battery system and just charge that during the day, then discharge to the car battery at night.. not very efficient though and increases cycles on the home battery unit. Al...

(This is one of a number of topics related to home charging. Since the questions are separate, I'll post each in a separate thread! Other threads - Simple type 2 outlet for home charging , Load sharing ) My last home charging post is a relatively simple one - because I have a video to explain it :) ...

(This is one of a number of topics related to home charging. Since the questions are separate, I'll post each in a separate thread! Other threads - Simple type 2 outlet for home charging , Solar diversion ) I currently have some of the plaster sheeting removed in my garage, so I'm looking at putting...

(This is one of a number of topics related to home charging. Since the questions are separate, I'll post each in a seperate thread - other threads Load sharing , Solar diversion ) I notice that people fit into two categories for home charging - those who just use "a plug" (15 amp, usually) or those ...

They announced earlier this yr that Mannum is going to get a Tesla charging station some time this yr. Things happen at a rather slow rate out here in the c-o-u-n-t-r-y :lol: T1 Terry There are a few SA towns getting Tesla destination chargers (note - not superchargers!) Mid-Murray Council - Mannum...

Hi Bryce,

A possible point for discussion on the night - does anyone want to follow up the Euroa option as mentioned in this thread?

Speaking of 3-phase, this is the current distribution of 3-phase sockets along that route (the orange markers are DC fast chargers and the green ones are 3-phase). I've disabled 10A/15A, Tesla HPWCs, etc. from the view: https://i.imgur.com/aB7M2RE.png Worth noting that TOCA committee approved expend...

I have images of the other two pages of the Eurobodalla Shire letter, of early Dec 2017, but don't know how to post them, here.
(I shall enquire whether Bega Valley actioned it’s receipt...)

Are they the same as the ones in the link in the first post?

What could go wrong? Rhetorical question of course, but ... https://i.imgur.com/2QsyqL4.jpg Background: I bought my Leaf second hand, this 15A EVSE came with it from the previous owner, the plug had been chopped off and a 10A plug wired on. Was told "it was fine". And it was for many months, until ...

This might be one for anyone who is relatively local to these sites. Both Euroa (half-way between Melbourne and Albury-Wodonga) and Coffs Harbour (NSW North Coast) have recently been home to a 2-bay Tesla supercharger site. Each of these were temporary. * The Euroa site was at the Shell/Coles Expres...

A user on the Tesla Motors Club forum has noticed that in a recent Latrobe City Council meeting, it was mentioned that the Eurobodella Shire Council had contacted Latrobe (and presumably other local government authorities in the area) about a South-East Electric Highway, which goes from Melbourne to...

The closest public charge points (within battery range ) to me are listed as Tesla Model S/X , I assume theres no 3 pin for me to plug into so is an adaptor available or what do I need to make an adaptor ?? Hi goingbush, Yes, you'll need an adaptor, as 4Springs says they aren't easy to make yoursel...

Interestingly enough, I looked into the origins of the fuel excise and found this general information as to how an excise differs from a tax: As a deterrent, excise is typically directed towards three broad categories of harm: * health risks from abusing toxic substances (thus making it a kind of su...

I just wanted to let you know that I filed a PlugShare bug report requesting that "Wall Outlet (3112)" be differentiated as 10A or 15A. Please be patient, as these things take time.

Hi James - any more news on this?

This pic was shared by a TMC member:



Was kind enough to let me use it on the AEVA FB page!

Disappointing about the CCS1

My question is what charge connectors will they have in Australia? It's easy enough for them to say "we'll use the same ones as the old Leaf" but that's not necessarily the best choice going forward in Australia, with Tesla, Renault using Type 2 and the Ioniq yet to be seen (but there's a good chanc...

Wow, what a blast from the past (my old comment). That was before I owned a Leaf myself. Rather embarrassed that past me couldn't tell a J1772 from a Mennekes

You make it sound like we're a bunch of Stonecutters at a long gothic table...

Haven't heard. Do we have anyone local to the area who can check?
