Yeah Richard came over on the weekend to update our Ioniq. I think it's worse on the whole, but for the updated maps.

Yeah the Nullarbor sites will require generators, and/or big solar battery systems. And knowing the traffic will be low, they will spend the money elsewhere. But that said, it's only an extra 5 chargers, so they could probably do it if they wanted to, or found some change behind the couch. Could be ...

Yeah like Novec or some non aqueous material. It still needs to be set in resin for vibration protection though, but you could focus on just setting it on the top and bottom.

The attachment strategy...

I have three of the four modules capture plates made up, so I started to populate one of them. I can leave the cells as they are without needing to pull the whole lot apart this way. Partially assembled module.jpg Each module will store a bit over 6 kWh and sit at 100 V fully charged. And should wei...

You could even set up a load bank like dynamic braking on locomotives.

...or pony up and buy a synchronous AC motor and inverter

Use the charger at Guildford.
And thank CD Dodd for the foresight

Amazingly the cheapest EVs are still $15k or so.
Considering the Leaf was over $50k 8 years ago its not all bad. But cars are just a waste of money, some are bigger wastes than others.

Thanks for pulling all together Bryce and Chris! Like many others I will be watching the videos as I had to work all day, but managed to get 40 mins to present on eMotos.

I just realized it's in fact working correctly. I didn't read the RHS axis correctly

I don't have a BMS signal going to the inverter, so it's set up on a User Defined protocol.
And it was looking grand until this morning when it reverted to garbage again. Oh well. Might try and mess with it on the weekend.

Goodwe must have done an over-the-air update on the inverter! Because up until midday yesterday, the SOC was meaningless - it went down as you charged it, it went up as you discharged, and generally made no sense: Updated inverter..JPG And this is today's data: SOC working!.JPG I wonder if this will...

Russell - the rego discount was $100 a year I think, and the RUC would amount to about $250 for 10,000 km a year. So you're a little worse off.

And the work is about to commence...

Volume is critical too - if it doesn't fit, it won't matter how much it weighs... And yes agree with Francisco here - the only way you'll get your range goals is to use the most energy dense battery cell chemistry you can lay your hands on. Perhaps crashed Tesla Model S/X units, of possibly Kona bat...

I think if anything the battery weight will be identical...

Okay so my spreadsheet has a few variables now. The plot charts the total cumulative spend on both the Ioniq and the Elantra. Following elements are fixed: $300/year service cost. This is supposed to include new tyres every 4 years and any scheduled service. $361 Registration fee (pretty similar for...

Correct. I blame our cousins across the dutch for coning the term though.

I'll add the RUC to the next chart...

Looks awesome mate! Hope to see it at a meeting, or at the very least Electrikhana 2021!

Your best bet will be an ICV - individually constructed vehicle. It will still call for lots of ADR (Australian Design Rules) compliance, but it's a legit avenue for projects like this.

AEVA will be making another formal letter to all state premiers and treasurers, and this letter will be on our website for reference. Absolutely write as an individual to each of your state treasurers. They will take is far more seriously if a dozen individuals write to them. We offered a sensible, ...

Here's a picture of my setup for reference: And in the background the Hyundai-issued 2.2 kW EVSE which plugs into a 10 A GPO and works just fine.

Nothing wrong with only wiring up one of the phases and leaving the rest blank. Just use L1 to keep things simple - L1 on a 3-phase socket elsewhere in the country will probably be live too.

My OpenEVSE has a 32 A 3-phase plug supplying it. This socket is supplied by an appropriate breaker in the meter box. I plug just the OpenEVSE into a 32 A 3-phase socket and leave it there. If I ever need to travel out bush where 3-phase 32 A sockets are my only option, I can plug in. It saves me fr...
