Maybe you need to buy the counterfeit PL2303 chipset to use with the counterfeit PIP....https://owenduffy.net/software/ATB/PL2303.htm

Sorry if this is not the right thread but do you think that this one is a REAL voltronic, the seller claim to be an officiel MPPS Solar distributor but ... i don't trust anyone anymore :D https://www.ebay.fr/itm/solaire-onduleur-5kva-5000w-48V-80A-MPPT-chargeur-de-batterie-60A-chargeur/162746191559...

I have recently installed the Zappi at my place which has a 3 phase supply using a 3 phase Elster A1100 nett utility meter. The zappi was installed using a Harvi and three CTs. Under advanced settings, Supply Grid, Export margin is set to the maximum value of 900 watts. But yet despite this setting ...

I am using a Victron Energy - BMV 702 and uploading data to www.pvoutput.com.

I successfully installed the Quidzel HOD module today and programmed it. Works well. You can read about here. http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 361#p47361. Possibly the first BMW i3 in Australia with a functioning Traffic Jam Assist.

I have no idea where you are located. But you can check your cable with an untethered non-Tesla charger (Chargefox - EVlink) at Mc Donalds at Kellyville to check the non-legacy setting theory... https://www.plugshare.com/location/110533 This charger requires you to use your own cable and it has a Me...

Hi Jin, You can do a wiring check by measuring resistance using a ohmmeter. Looking at your J1772 plug measure the resistance: 1. Between the Proximity Detection pin (LHS) and Equipment Ground pin (without pushing button in) - 150 ohms 2. Between the Proximity Detection pin (LHS) and Equipment Groun...

Hi Jin, There is someone on www.plugshare.com who is using a type 2 to type 1 adapter cable on a Tesla charger to charge a 2013 Nissan Leaf at Supercheap Auto at Penrith and it works. You can send him a message using the mobile phone plugshare app. Name is Markr. https://www.plugshare.com/location/1...

I just charged up at Rouse Hill Town Centre car park https://www.plugshare.com/location/17075 on a Tesla charger. Worked ok. I have installed a meter to the type 2 to type 1 plug adaptor cable to read the current and power drawn. As shown it was drawing 31.26 amps, 7.3kW at 236.4 volts. https://s3.a...

The installing electricians of the Tesla chargers would not have a clue about any dip switch setting for legacy mode I suspect that they all not set for legacy mode. But it seems that BMW i3 is compatible with non-legacy mode.

If that does not work you may want to look at getting a Teslanything.
Also try pushing the button on your j1772 plug for about 5 seconds when you plug it in to your leaf.

I was wondering if anyone has tried installing the Traffic Jam Assistant function to their BMW i3 in Australia. Quidzel make a module which is installed inside the steering wheel which gives a signal to say the driver is touching the steering wheel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eX8d7UxZFs . Did ...

Want to know if anyone has been able to monitor their charge power (kW) and energy (kWh) on their BMW i3. Preferably using the OBD2 port so monitoring can be done when using a fast DC charger.

Today I charged my BMW i3 at Stockland Wetherill Park https://www.plugshare.com/location/130447 using my Type 2 to type 1 plug adapter. Once again I got the error "Mains power too low". So I tried doing it with the doors locked and it did not work. Then after some persisting stuffing around I found ...

Maybe but I would have expected the Tesla charger LED to blink if it had a fault.
I tested my adapter cable at Stanhope village shopping centre yesterday and it worked ok. https://www.plugshare.com/location/137108

It could well be that the mains power is too low....

It does not make any sense. The Tesla destination charger is rated for 32 amps, three phase as marked on the rating plate.

Found a Tesla charger where my adaptor would not work at Gosford Motor Inn. Just kept getting the message "Mains power too low". Maybe this charger was not set to legacy mode. Did not try it but google says it might have worked if I had locked the car before plugging in. Maybe next time... https://w...

The 220 ohm resistor tells the charging station that you are using a 32 amp cable. Since your GPO is only rated at 15 amps you may want to change the PP resistor value to 1500 ohms. Just to be on the safe side. Assuming you will be using a level 1 EVSE cable to plug into the 15A GPO. 5.000V (no exte...

My adapter worked at https://www.plugshare.com/location/109592
You can see it here https://youtu.be/xKo05WU_cFs

Thanks for the info. I have bought a type 2 to type 1 adapter cable 32A from EVSE Australia. I have cut off 11mm from the face of the type 2 plug using a battery 4 in handheld grinder with a cutting disk whilst the plug was held in a bench vice. Finished it to make a flat face with a linisher. Used ...

Setec Power tell me they sell stacks of these adaptors to Norway. They also distribute the same adaptor to www.evseadapters.com.

They sent me a photo of all these adaptors going to Europe

I bought a CCS1 to CCS2 from Setec it works ok..have a look at Franklin St Adelaide on PS there is pic of the adaptor in use Thanks, any idea what your maximum charge power was in kW? Did you get the max 50kW? I decided to get one from https://www.evseadapters.com/collections/ev-chargers-and-evses/...

Setec make a CCS Combo 2 to CCS Combo 1 Adaptor and there should be others as well - http://www.setec-power.com/china/ccs-co ... -1-adapter

Thanks. Looks good.
Can anybody confirm that they actually work in Australia with a BMW i3?
They quoted me US$1000 plus delivery.

I tried to DC fast charge my BMW i3 at Mittagong RSL https://www.plugshare.com/location/166796. I found that this charger only uses CCS type 2 so I could not do DC fast charge. My BMW i3 only uses a CCS type 1 plug. Does anybody know if there are any options for me? Adaptor cable? Looks like I will ...

Is anybody charging their non-Tesla EV (j1772) from a Tesla wall charger using a Tesla Tap or similar adaptor? It works in the USA but does it work in Australia?
