Did anybody enquire about us Aussies getting the base model Visia in UK or S model in the US?

Have you seen this one? 201.4km with 3bars remaining.

I have a manual now. Under Main battery capacity measurement it list the procedure. disconnect aux battery for 30s and reconnect then connect the M.U.T. III, turn the car to "on" position and perform a reset. Turn car to "on" position again check for 5 bars (40%) if too high run ac on max or charge ...

Tested it today and it took 15.7A before it tripped the circuit breaker! Only left it on 13A a minute or so and kept increasing by 1A at a time.

It should work fine to charge the Leaf on a 10A outlet. Although the unit we have doesn't trip charging a 2010 iMiEV which draws 12A continuously but g4qber's trips after a few minutes.

Would be a j1772 EVSE and clueless salesmen. Although if it was a 6.6kw leaf then 2hours would be all it would take to recharge from 50%..

g4qber came over today with a selection of EVSE's to try out on my parents 2010 iMiEV that has been modified to work with j1772 EVSE. We tried a Holden Volt EVSE (10A), modified Nissan Leaf EVSE(10A), 1 of Patrick's (forget the brand) and an iMiEV EVSE. On all of them it was drawing a steady 12A! 28...

Initially I thought the older i's were not fully j1772 compliant (it comes with just a j1772 handle direct to a 15A plug) but amongst the paper work is a small slip which seems to suggest it may have been modified in 2011 for the comms. Will have to try charging from a proper j1772 charge station a...

Good news! Where is motor controller?

Tajima's record setting run up Pikes peak.

I would like to come down and watch but got things on tomorrow. Went to the last practice session and it looked like Patrick had the amps turned up quite a bit by the end of the day.

What date and time?

My parents picked up a silver 2010 iMiEV from Paceway today!! http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley1.gif http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley4.gif The looks are growing on me already as long as I close my eyes when behind the iMiEV. http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley36.gif Initially I t...

Melville Mitsubishi don't service the iMiEV either.

According to this it's fixed price $185 (cheaper than an iMiEV ) for the first 3years/60,000km and service intervals are every 9months/15,000km.

I don't think servicing costs should be too much on the Volt? If you use the average of 60% miles done on EV then the average Australian would only do 6000km a year on petrol. That's only 60,000km over 10 years. So should be no major servicing costs just oil and filter changes and coolant. 2014 Chev...

On my Niki (not an iMiEV) I used to be able to goto work and back on 8.5Ah-10Ah until I got new tyres and now it is more like 12-13Ah! http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley18.gif The new tyres are 5mm wider though.. With the old tyres I could rely on using 0.75Ah/km hypermiling and with the new t...

There was this kit from Enginer for the Leaf. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1078684_leafhacking-battery-mod-gives-extra-range-but-at-what-cost Don't think you will ever see a towable range extender for the Leaf. Like most EV's (all?) the Leaf is not rated to tow anything. It's a real shame you...

EVs in the future are going to be so fantastic and refined that ALL vehicles today will seem like my first Austin A40. In the mean time, enjoy !!! http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley20.gif So true!! I was reading a Tesla model S forum the other day and they were saying do NOT test drive a mode...

Mmm maybe it's because he really does? He made no mention of the cost of nuclear power or the long timeframe to build it and stated that going totally renewable would cost lots.

Yeah only realised after I posted.

Everything is cheap compared to EIG!

I thought LFP batteries were the popular choice for EV conversions everywhere?

EV Power is where I got my Sky energy/ calb cells and BMS from.

So 6.1L/100km per passenger (4 passengers + pilot) Not bad at all... but if you consider a Commodore can do ...

Well you could say you are burning coal for all your power and it is your neighbor with green power that gets all the solar energy.

What about a total loss water cooled system? Extend the cooling fins and run a water mist over the motor case.
