Well said @jonescg @rhills! Another issue, that I've heard became an issue in the UK after Brexit, is setting up the legal and logistical framework that surrounds nuclear power - the need for qualified and certified technical staff, security staff, writing the policies and ensuring said policies are...

As a comparison, it's been done in quite a few Teslas, Model S and also Model X. The main ways I can think of, in which doing it in a Kona would differ, are: 2WD vs AWD: While I'm sure many of the Teslas were dual motor (AWD) I'm sure some were 2WD. The roads are all sealed (to my knowledge). Range:...

Quick update - I tested this on my phone, on which I don't use LastPass. Same issue (logs in fine, but auto logs out a few hours later).

The blip could also be due to all the Model 3s being shipped in Sept-Dec 2019.

I assume this doesn't include second hand imports (e.g. Leafs from Japan)? I wouldn't expect it to but that probably added another 50-75 in 2020.

It's ridiculous. In the USA, Tesla will often supply J1772 Clipper Creek chargers alongside the destination chargers. In Europe, they will install two or more chargers, some will be signed as Tesla only and some will be signed as for all EVs (presumably with the switch set to legacy mode on the open...

Ok, this is interesting... I starting using LastPass just a few months ago. I find every time I visit the site I am logged out and need to log in again. When I log in, LastPass has no problem populating the username and password fields, I just need to tick "stay logged in" and click login... But if ...

Seems Tesla is intending to open the Superchargers to all that can take the DC charging level. Apparently Rivian and Lucid aren’t interested. Sounds like some blog has taken Elon's tweet and totally mangled what he said. He said *some* vendors are low-key testing it. Remember in the US Tesla uses a...

set of labelled pix showing the different types of connector. Good idea! I grabbed this one off Google Images, make a couple of edits (because they are usually US-centric) and added the guide down the bottom. Every time I look for one I can never find one that is entirely accurate (e.g. this one st...

Good question! I started to reply, but it was getting very off-topic for this thread, so posted it here: http://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=6810

I started to reply to this post by bladecar elsewhere, found it was getting quite lengthy and off-topic for the original thread, so thought I'd post here. I wonder what the key things are in order for any car to be able to pull up at any recharging station, plug it in and walk away. A good question,...

I came back to my car today and look what I found parked next to it! https://i.imgur.com/Zq6u0Ls.jpg This was the first one sold in Tassie - he picked it up yesterday. Had never charged it so was learning on the go! He didn't have a Type 2 cable so gave directions to the nearby DC fast charger - was...

The plate is blurred in the photos but if you read the description further down...

Registration Plate: 1EQG689

This plan received a side mention in an EVC document. If this is correct - slightly increase in sites, and large increase in how many of them are 50 kW - it sounds like a great result!

Hi Chuq: I have a solar powered house that is 100% off the grid, but occationally, during a whole week of rain I need to charge the car in the city. The closest DC fast charger to me is 1 hours drive and it is at the Shire of Swan building. It is still CCS1 and will probably stay CCS1 for quite a w...

I'm quite surprised to see a Kona owner spending $1k+ on an adaptor like this. At a guess there are fewer than a dozen CCS1 chargers left across the country? And all of them have a CCS2 charger within 100 km, most of them within 20 km. I wouldn't have expected a Kona owner with 400 km to ever need s...

There's one in the Hobart MG showroom! (Surprising since I thought they'd sold out of their entire first batch of stock nationwide to the pre-orders, but they may have had some set aside as demo cars)

Are you ready to share the graph further @jonescg ? Paul Maric's article he insists its not a reasonable comparison since the up-front taxes are paid only once. https://www.carexpert.com.au/opinion/wh ... are-of-tax

Granted in all these cases the EV is a far nicer car (electric is just like that) Slightly veering off topic, but I bring this up whenever anyone talks about the "payback period" for buying EV over ICE. What's their "payback period" for a nicer couch, or a bigger TV? With the EV, you get a quieter ...

Excellent analysis of the data jonescg ! Worth noting that stamp duty applies when selling second hand, so assuming each car was sold when it was 7.5 years old and again when it was 15 years old, it would be interesting to see how that would impact this. I guess you'd need data on second hand vehicl...

It looks like Labor, Greens and the crossbench will be voting this one down. https://indaily.com.au/news/2020/11/12/ ... c-car-tax/

Wow those 25kW DC fast chargers would be an excellent solution for outback QLD as well as QLd is so huge they can be placed around 150kms from major towns. Well, not really.. you want the main backbone of the route to be 50 kW at least, some may argue even faster. You wouldn't drive from Toowoomba ...
