How can it encourage you to use public transport, where there is no public transport?

Re: 9 Nissan Leafs for auction at Pickles: 8 NSW, 1 ACT
Well when all 640 of the first crop of Leafs suffer battery failures and nobody can be arsed stumping up $10k to replace it, there will be 640 Leaf motors for EV conversions available for cheap. The strange thing is, how much is the battery for the conversion going to cost?, how much work is involv...

Re: Simple (to use) wall mount =<7kW open network
Perhaps we could partner up with or infiltrate some of these service clubs like Apex or Lions, who already have parks with switch boards and electric barbeques in most small towns.

Re: Solar day parking with AC charging
I would like to be able to plug in at work and be able to charge my car with the excess power my house puts into the grid. Technically feasible, but needs to financially feasible to someone else other than me.

Re: Tesla PW2

I can program my current solar inverter to regulate output to maintain a AC voltage, therefore in will regulate generation ...

Re: 3 phase outlet, what is suitable for EV charging?
I think from memory that is an old technique called a bucking transformer. I am not sure the the power network would approve ( or the legality ) of me pushing the voltage in my neighbours houses over 260 volts deliberately ( even though they are allowed accidentally? ) I can use up to 10 kW in and a...

Re: 3 phase outlet, what is suitable for EV charging?
I used 230 V because that's the international standard, and even most parts of Australia will be converting to 230 V nominal in the next year or two. I'll believe it when I see it; mains here is still often well over 240 V (244.6 right now, as measured by my solar energy system; 248 and higher is n...

Re: 3 phase outlet, what is suitable for EV charging?
So, that would be the circuit to supply one or more 3 phase EV chargers? I never did get my head around how 3 phase converted to watts, 22kW appears to be the biggest expected demand, 22 kW is 32 A per phase (230 x 3 x 32 = 22,080). And 240 volts X 1.732 (square root of 3 (phases) ) = 415 volts

Do you put a few batteries where the fuel tank was? I believe it is under the tray where your current rear batteries are and quite well protected.

Re: Low Cost BMS for Home Storage Batteries
I have a SP Pro 48v here that has been using Lead Acid batteries for the last 3 years. I am waiting on a solar upgrade and will then change to the LIFePO4 batteries. I hope to hit it right 1st go.

Re: Low Cost BMS for Home Storage Batteries
For my system I'm intending to run an SP Pro inverter, so I'll definitely have software for that. I'd encourage others to upload their versions once working. Are you intending to use CANbus comms with your SP Pro or set it up standalone with a customized version of the generic LiFePO4 settings?
