*Recall*Vacuum pump for brakes

Car insurance
Shannons insure a 200k tesla roadster for around 2k
On a case by case basis
I had to ring them back
As initially they wouldn't insure the roadster
Only after mentioning that 2 had already been insured with them did they reconsider.

Buying a I-miev
Chelsea sexton likes how analogue it is. That was one of the reasons I went with the I. Simplicity. Also didn't have to go for the nissan "interview" Seems that one has to sign a waiver that 15amp circuit will be installed in one's home before Nissan will sell the leaf.

cable curling
Thanks guys. I can't wait for next version of Swedish evse hopefully with lock hole
A cool feature of the Swedish evse is the builtin LED albeit dim
This may match my future leaf's LED lit socket
Future leaf also locks the j1772 trigger

Buying a I-miev
as mentioned by acmotor previously, cheapest option is the holden EVSE AUD350
max charge 240V 10A
which also has the benefit of coming with a 10A plug.
only thing is that it feels cheap, but it is lightweight.
i can't wait to test out antiscab's openevse on the volt
