Is the charge level/timer, climate control timer etc all still programmable on the replacement head unit?

No. I guess that's why he is intending on using a OVMS module.

@reecho ?

Umm. no idea. Larry has one up the hill but not sure what it can do...

Ah thanks for the photos. Yes agreed. With my 2010 I-Miev it didn't have pilot signal pin fitted. So I did it myself a bit sneakily. I purchased the J1772 to 15A adaptor from Gelco and used the spare pin in the connector and added into my J1772 car harness with a 1N4148 diode and 882 Ohm resistor. ...

2011 onwards I-Miev have a separate control box mounted on top of the AC charger. I suspect that does the PWM charge current control and in turn sends commands to the AC charger below it. Do you mean the black box on top in this photo? UfhaIA2.jpg It's an AC filter box. This is what is inside it: J...

I posted the following addendum to the article, just as a comment, then it disappeared. Not sure what happened. Subsequent to the above article, our Kona had a problem and I took it to the dealer’s service department for investigation. In the end the problem could not be replicated and seems to hav...

Yes, my driving has been tempered by my better half. I just did some research and found this translation from Norwegian tek.no site... “ Hyundai Kona was already one of the electric cars on the market with the longest range in its class, but now Hyundai is taking further steps. New tires from March...

So where is this signal going to, and could that be added or activated in my charger? It looks like it goes to the on-board charger. But also it may get processed (buffered? amplified? filtered?) and sent on to the EV-ECU: Pilot signal to charger.png Complete schematic that the above was taken is i...

I have questions for the brains-trust here: 1)How and where is the command given to the charger of how much current is drawn from the grid? I know my model 10 charges with approx 12.5 A whether I use a common cable or one with the "brick". The "brick"reduces the charge to about 8 + A on the model 1...

Just saw this pop-up on gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbourne-cbd/cars-vans-utes/tesla-model-3-performance-2019/1247346717 Tesla policy dictates not to support any WOVR vehicle. That includes removing any DC fast charging option including non Tesla DC charging and not providing any fur...

Hi guys, Is there anyone in Perth able to show a person interested in buying a Model 3 or S (or any Tesla really), their Tesla? He changes his wife's car every year or so (currently have that Porsche SUV), and is interested in a Tesla, but neither he or his wife have ever experienced one. I had a c...

After a short but "interesting" drive this morning, I'm looking at swapping the Nexen tyres for something else with more grip. Has anyone else done this? If so, what did you choose and how have they performed? Considering new ones. Still would like to know for sure what Michelin tyres they now fit ...

Hi, We've had the West Australian-made Intervolt DCC R2-0 in our motorhome for nearly two years now after we swapped our house batteries over to LiFePO4 chemistry and we swear by it. They probably aren't the cheapest unit you will find, but it does what it does very well. Cheers, I did look at them...

I just got my solar panels installed and running. I got a Goodwe hybrid inverter. I am about to connect the battery. The inverter is designed to run on a 48v battery. Maximum voltage is 58v which will be good for 14S NCM pack. My question is what does the BMS need to do other than balancing the bat...

Because they don't want a tesla burning to the ground in front of one of their charges because it wasn't repaired properly. They don't want the bad press and if you really want a car that supercharges then they'd be happy to sell you something. I last saw the price at $36500 with about 30min to go ...

All DC fast charging will be software disabled.

Considering supercharging is billed on the Model 3, I can't see why Tesla would insist on this...

PVMaster for setup and monitoring locally. SEMS Portal for monitoring everywhere.

No active battery management in a 2020MY EV in Australia is just about inexcusable in my opinion. But in saying that the Gen 1 is a great drive especially on the highway.

Just not for long...

No Nissan warranty eh?. That would drop my bid price by 2/3rds...

Cheapest option for off grid storage is to grab the AVASS cells, A ZEVA BMS, isolator, and display... https://www.zeva.com.au/index.php?product=140 and a AC retrofit inverter like the Goodwe 5000S-BP. ...

I have a MPP Solar 2424MSE surplus to requirements here. It was used on a set of AVASS cells for a bit. Any interest?

A friend of mine has a tesla, 5kW of solar, and a single phase connection. Apparently he cannot expand his system even with export limiting as Synergy have a rule against it, without going to a battery, or three phase. Does anyone know if there's a way around this or an exemption for those with an ...

Hi guys, Here's my 1970 Beetle I've been restoring for the last couple of years. In the last few months I've finished the panel and paint and now I'm starting on the fun stuff :) Mounted on the original transaxle is a Nissan leaf motor and inverter which will likely be controlled by an openinverter...

I'm waiting for my Kona EV. It's to replace a VW Tiguan of "dieselgate" fame. The Tiguan, like the Kona EV has an Autohold function that basically stops the brake fluid from leaving the wheel cylinders once the wheels stop turning, until you touch the throttle. It's a helpful thing in traffic and o...

Just a note that the BMU is not field firmware upgradable for the degradation issues. Mitsubishi in Japan may well have a new BMU developed that fixes the issue by now though..

Awesome old girl.... "Has anyone been able to successfully integrate a Type 2 or Chademo charger into a conversion? Is public fast charging feasible?" Type 2 AC charging is a snap. ChaDeMo DC fast charging is now doable if you use Orion BMS......BUT.....Your battery voltage will need to be in the 36...
