Lots, maybe most, ac charge points now are 22kw or 43kw per connection.

Even in this instance, with 150kwh, using both would be useful.

I'd suggest use both, but have the 2nd one able to be unplugged, with a note saying so.
That way you get the best of both worlds

Out of curiosity, was that the ac input wire you pulled, or the dc output?

The 60Ah limit is just for the fuel gauge. Charger keeps going until cells get to 4.1v. Mc keeps going till first cells hits low voltage.

How fast is the engine spinning at 70kmh?

I just checked the dip switch positions on my pve2500. It's already set to mppt mode. Weird.

I also see there's an option to make the inverter standalone. That could be useful in the event of a power failure, with the main switch off.

*gets out of time machine* I still wouldn't cycle the batts to timeshift energy. My calcs show that is a no win when amortising battery cost, particulary at only 40c net FIT in WA !!! Are you sure? Given that we limit it to cycling only the top 20% (lead acid). We're using 200 Ah SunGels from Batter...

they can be rotate left to right without changing the direction of rotation. It means the tyres have to be swapped between the rims. Lots more work

Yeah, 30'000km I'm pretty happy with. Tyre wear is same on the other side. If I were really pedantic I could get the tyre place to swap tyres left to right as well as back to front, to really even it out. I'm not that pedantic though. I used tyre power, Kelmscott. Still way better than the 15'000km ...

Technically first photo of Outter tyre wear was 29'500km, but close enough.

We got the car with 2'300km on the clock, and we haven't bought new tyres

Antiscab's tyres, now on the rear, look very good, but have they lasted 30000km? Also, one really needs to also see the inside edge of the tyre to form an opinion about even or uneven wear. That's true, see other side of tyre: IMAG1008.jpg I still think pressure should be above 40psi to wear the ce...

Currents flows proportional to the inverse of resistance. The smaller cells generally have higher resistance, and don't put out as many amps in parrallel as the larger cells. It all evens out

Yep, that'll work fine. If you want to save on bms, you can parrallel individuallly 10Ah and 15Ah to make 25Ah then put in series. Might be a little awkward in layout though

Many charge points need to activated with an app. I've found nextcharge to be useful, with maps integrated.

One assumes you haven't been cornering everywhere at high speed?

I haven't, but I can't confirm for my partner. I suspect some cornering would have been tighter and at higher speed than I would have done.

I have heard from UK owners than this wear is quite common though.

This post prompted me to get the alignment on our Zoe checked and wheels rotated. at 30'000km the front tyres look like this (now on the back): zoe tyre wear.jpg Wheel alignment was correct, so didn't get adjusted: zoe wheel alignment.jpg Given your wheel alignment could only get within 0.6mm, I can...

There is value in having home storage beyond charging the zoe more efficiently. Do you have time of use power? Not using power in peak periods there's likely to be some savings. Are you export limited to 5kw? I'd be super tempted to put up more Solar, so there's more time where the surplus is above ...

The study theyre referencing is not available......

At best theyre overestimating the energy required for resource extraction and are hiding their methodology to prevent peer review

I wonder if legislation exists for towing of vehicles blocking refueling stations....

We did a day trip Brisbane to Toowoomba then return via Hampton and Esk. A total of 315km and used 66%.
Recharging in 3 pin took 21 hours

Holy guacamole, so total range on country roads is 477km?
how big is the kona battery?

was 3 pin charging 10A or 15A?

I briefly had a Fonzarelli and that got ~50km from a 1650Wh pack = 33Wh per km which is really impressive. It’s pretty light and more for city usage which helps it get those numbers. My bike will be a bit heavier but will be mostly city usage. I ran some numbers for different battery options and ba...

Hi Sonja,

where are you located?

do you know in what way the battery was damaged?

A BMU reset won't get your capacity back

107k km is pretty good - how much has been on battery only?

Warb out of curiosity, from which part of Australia do you hail? Roo bars aren't exactly complicated to make in one off quantities. I had a housemate who made his own and welded it to a Holden combo. This vehicle was used regularly to go to bush doofs, and he did indeed encounter all manner of fauna...

there's also an app called electricitymap and renew watch.

Those pole top transformers are usually 350kva, and dinner time cook peak tends to run from 5pm to 9pm. It won't be long until the cheap rate moves to during the day, and the expensive time to during the night.

That's good to know The little clip holding the SD card in on your car broke a while back, we're in the process of getting renault to replace it under warranty. So we haven't used the on board GPS in some time. Having said that, google maps on my phone is light years ahead of TomTom anyway If access...
