Yep fair point
MEN = multiple Earth neutral

I would use one, though if the inverter doesn't like the neutral being connected to earth for some reason (some don't), then residual voltage detector it would have to be

The station itself would likely be converted to a synchronous condenser too, so the infrastructure would need to be maintained into the future anyway

Fluke explains it better than I: https://www.fluke.com/en-au/learn/blog/digital-multimeters/dual-impedance-digital-multimeters I'm suggesting the 48vac difference measured is more a ghost voltage than anything to be concerned about. A cheap way to do it without a LoZ capable meter would be to put a ...

When testing potentials, did you use the meter in LOZ mode?

Otherwise you will be measuring with 1MOhm of meter resistance. 48v measured at 1MOhm suggests 4MOhm of isolation between the two

+1 for the imiev

Imiev has a fairly high roof and reasonable seat width. they're pretty cheap too

We call those suicide leads, as it's easy to make the other male end live and exposed at the same time.

If on different rcbo it will also trip both rcbos

Note, you can usually get away with pulling 14A from a 10A point, as they're usually protected by a 16A rcbo.

I had one that used to cut out all the time. There's lots of failure points sadly Does yours have the manual gear stick with the motor cut out button? If so, that may be false triggering The water pumps for cooling on mine stopped working, turned out to be faulty wiring. A loss of connection with th...

I use this one that you mount in a switch board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32843589430.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.50f83a0emzcHkA&algo_pvid=91a77e24-4b26-4a7b-aeba-1b9c095ead7e&algo_expid=91a77e24-4b26-4a7b-aeba-1b9c095ead7e-9&btsid=0b0a556e16082682304182075eecb7&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,sea...

6kwh is 250W continuous - I would be expecting something to get hot

There's an iMiev in WA for $10k:

only if you tell them

Yeah, leave plugged in always, but as it's on a plug it's not considered a permanent fixture.

Put in a 32A power point, and it becomes an appliance.

the issue with keeping the 12v battery charged tends to have been whilst the car is off, is making sure the big battery doesn't get run down to 0v.
not impossible, but certainly challenging.

The big battery won't go flat in that time, but the 12v one might.

That's the one I would charge

the focus has a 0-5v hall pedal which is then fed to this: https://www.zeva.com.au/Research/DigitalPotAdapter/ The pot adapter is under the dash near the pedal, so not likely to have experienced moisture damage. It's probably worth measuring the output of the pot adapter (easiest at the hairball) to...

If you haven't already, charge the car up, then push the emergency stop button. That will stop the battery being discharged to nothing

could try side loading the rlink app via apk. it likely won't work though, if the car has no cellular network access. This is from the Uk, re servicing: The service schedule on a Zoe is: Every 1 year or 18,000 miles - Pollen filter change and alternate between an A or B inspection Every 3 years - Re...

that might be a question for the present manufacturers:

possibly an internal error of some variety.

Motor voltage on a series would motor is a function of motor current and rpm. Increasing the battery voltage means the controller is now able to stay in motor current limit up to a higher rpm, leading to more power at high rpm. As a side note, your motor controller is more efficient at lower motor c...

Why not just common the batteries? Then it doesn't matter which inverter the solar is on.

Glitch: suspected stack overflow, happens when too many instructions happen simultaneously, usually when unlocking and locking several times in a row. fro example when someone tries to open a door as the car is unlocking, so that door doesn't unlock, meaning you have to lock and re-unlock.

Sounds great

getting a bunch of those stickers made up to distribute at EV meetings would be the fastest way to drive adoption

if we weren't curtailing wind to keep fossil generators in the system, we would have hit 100% renewables a few times already

on my zoe, pressing the plug release button on the car shuts down charging gracefully

given latching the plug is part of the type 2 standard, this should be common to all cars that take a type 2 plug
