The planned SA locations stop at Ceduna over the next two years. Those further out are still in the design stage and not certain of actual locations/capacities, i guess for the infrastructure reasons others have mentioned. There is also no timeframe yet for the WA roll-out. It would be great if thi...

There is a plan for the Nullabor which very keen individuals are working on.

Take that Queensland. We will now have the longest electric superhighway in the country.. https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/McGowan/2020/11/Climate-policy-supports-Western-Australias-low-carbon-future.aspx https://www.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-11/State_Electric_Vehicle_Strategy_fo...

The nearest CCS2 DCFC is 3.5kms away from the City of Swan DCFC.

GS1026 from Gelco perhaps??

Yeah Zappi, OpenEVSE and the upcoming EO Mini Pro 2 can do that.

Someone had already put some really sticky sports tyres on my Kona before I got it. They really screw up the efficiency but the good news is they will probably wear out fairly quickly. Hopefully though the local speedway will reopen first, it has a drag strip that is only 1/8 of a mile long. I have...

New modular chargers announced yesterday...RTM75 looks the goods.

This has happened to a few folks around the world. You can indeed flatten the battery if the tailgate is left ajar. It's a bit of an oversight. The latest BMS updates include more 12v battery supervision more often but only time will tell if the issue has been mitigated. I would let HMCA know about ...

Those chargers have been removed apparently.

Quick check, this recent news story - https://www.drive.com.au/news/the-australian-states-with-the-most-and-fewest-electric-car-charging-points-124474 - suggests 1700 EVs in South Australia. Not sure how accurate it is but the Tassie number is about 2/3 of the actual number, so SA could be as high ...

OUCH. Yeah in my experience that's a stat write off. Parts bin..!!

Sad news indeed. I hope a replacement vehicle wont take too long.

If the car is written off and it goes to auction let us know. It would be good if some of the components can be reused.

... Perhaps the BMS could be programmed to learn whether the pauses at 80% and 90% can be shortened depending on how well balanced the cells appear at those stop points... ... Am still a bit disappointed that, even in limited circumstances, Hyundai are extending the charge times ... Good point, I w...

When we were using a Kona to charge the Tesla Model 3P+ for Targa West we did see that the battery cooling stayed on after the vehicle was switched off. Can't confirm if this behaviour will kick in if the car is unattended.

My top tips: 4. If stopping at an NRMA Tritium charger for lunch, hit the 100% button on it and leave your ph no and a note to say ok to unplug if over 80% on the dash should you take an over-relaxed extended lunch. 😆 Will it let you do this? Doesn't it lock the plug in until it has finished chargi...

"Dear Hyundai Customer, Hyundai is recalling certain Hyundai Kona Electric vehicles produced between January 31st 2018 and March 2nd 2020 Our records indicate that your Hyundai (VIN: KMHK381GULUXXXXXX) is affected by the safety recall, which requires a software update of the high voltage lithium-ion...

See this article https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/429107/hyundai-nz-recalls-kona-electric-car-due-to-battery-fire-risk It makes sense that New Zealand, with its far larger EV market than Australia's (due in large part to their sane government), gets the recall notice before Australia. In so many...

@rhills Any chance we can combine all 3 different battery recall threads into one?

Here's the campaign details from the US. One outlines the 00D005 campaign which is a 4 way update including BMS. The other outlines the battery replacement process. When the 4 way update is done the 12V battery saver option disappears from the cluster. Internal resistance and voltage deviation check...

Best advice is to not have the car fully charged for any great length of time. something owners should be doing in any rate for battery longevity.

As I said before wait until Hyundai SK give HMCA the service packs and then see what is determined. The US recall doesn't start until December.

I sent the following FB message to Hyundai together with the quoted report. If they fail to respond within 72 hours I will also contact RACV and local motoring press. What is Hyundai Australia’s position on Kona battery fires? We own a 2020 Kona Highlander Electric and are very concerned the car is...

The Tesla HPWC (depending on version) can have the current controlled via a Raspberry Pi and RS485 connection. Something like this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2A_J2Hq6-c Commercial options exist like a Zappi which is recommended around these parts. I have an OpenEVSE for solar divert and it w...

Good: 15A socket
Better: 32A 5 pin 3 phase socket
Best: Type 2 untethered wallbox
