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.

Perhaps the space saver spare wheel that comes with the petrol Kona will then fit in the rear.

Great job but you don't want it to fail an inspection over the front left parking light.

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.

Should be able to make a direct solar DC to Chademo charger (or DC fast charger into a DC slow charger) that just delivers what ever current is available from the solar panels. I can program my current solar inverter to regulate output to maintain a AC voltage, therefore in will regulate generation ...

I wish it was on this side of the country. I believe they are actually made in Melbourne. There must be someone who knows someone.

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...

You should be able to just sling a moke up a couple of gum trees. She'll be right mate!

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...

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

Maybe you need a bonnet scoop. People may think it is supercharged.

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.

And the Kiwi version... ...

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.

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?

I am not sure how his extender battery boxes would go in the sunny summers here but his experiments and CANbus knowledge would sure be a useful resource.

Another one.

Looks like they also published this:- https://insideevs.com/news/351314/nissan-leaf-battery-longevity/?fbclid=IwAR1n5c1zFPOy7IimenKe00kkof_bksOFCf8ufgDoWA0NdNpWTsqQuyX7WxY So you will never need a new battery as our leafs will all be in landfill in 3 years time. They appear to me to have a slightly ...

Do you have a link to the article ????

They are handy for powering remote communications equipment when there are bad bush fires, lots of use, lots of wind, and no sunlight due to smoke.

I am expecting you to post complete circuit diagrams for all the electronics in the LEAF now that you have one to pull apart and trace.

Chinese government policy will also support this, much more so than most other countries.

I guess they (the right hand drive ones) will be released in the UK first, so see how they go there. They will probably be quite popular in the UK, with the MG brand and the prices may be very good too.
