AEVA Forums

I was actually thinking of an AEVA member but a dealer would do it for you - at a price maybe. Not all dealerships handle the PHEV.

Just bought one it is a 2017 and at full charge it reads 33km range available. Not happy but unsure what to do to be honest. Where are you? Perhaps there is someone nearby that can check battery capacity using OBD2. If down you may have a valid claim against Mitsubishi - it's been successful before.

They certainly looking interesting. Confusing that the 38ah and 44ah appear to share the same anode material but one is 2.5v and the other is 3.6v. Also no maximum current specs. that I can find - essential for EV use. They are the first contenders I've seen that would fit into my sub-pack cases to ...

Not sure - I'll measure it next time I'm in it. A day or two.

Under normal accelerator setting the PHEV switches from series (generator mode) to parallel mode (ICE coupled to front wheels) at about 70 km/h. This is fine for normal driving - but, I mostly tow with the PHEV. It has plenty not power but NOT plenty of energy. I drive out of the driveway towing abo...

My 2c worth. The IEC connector is not plugged in all the way at the charger.

The lower voltage may be an issue for either the motor controller or the DC-DC (if fitted). If you google the controller you should be able to get some specs. for it which should include minimum voltage for operation. You will very quickly kill any standard 12v batteries but if you don't care about ...

A 144 volt converter would handle your situation nicely I would think.

Does anyone know what brand and size steel rim tassiem used as his spare. We will be towing our Avan to Alice Springs next year and a spare is in order I think.

Correct - it only works on the Aspire.

The most reasonable assumption I can think of is that turtle mode is invoked if any cell hits a low voltage threshold.

It's my understanding that Tesla runs the battery heat control system even when the vehicle is off. I have found that the amount of time that the battery pack sits in an over temperature environment while the vehicle is not in use (parked) WAY exceeds any time when it is in use. So, IMO, if your are...

Thanks Terry. Understood about the diode - I've followed most of your posts on panels over the years.

Thanks Terry. We will be getting a couple of 80 watt semi flexible panels to mount on the yacht hatches this summer and I've been wondering how to not-cook them. I need enough power to support 24ah each day (fridge) and one may be shaded by a sail a lot of the time. Bunnies sell a product similar to...

I am so tired of people walking behind a reversing car. It doesn't matter what I'm driving they insist on ignoring the reversing lights. Same with opening drivers doors with oncoming traffic. Just stupid!

We'll done Mark. Great DIY repair.

Was nice to see another EV out and about today in Nunawading- .....

Hey that's my stomping ground too. I'll keep a look out for you. If you see a 1965 Humber Vogue flashing headlights at you, flash back.

Again, good to hear that the van is mostly well. I get lots of spider webs and at a car showy thing a year or so ago that I spontaneously attended (didn't wash car) someone commented I didn't drive it much (yeah, just every day). I looked down where they were looking and the grill was laced with web...

Really amazing time frame. So fast yet obviously done very carefully. Great work.

Wow. Let's trot out the "tall poppies" drivel because some snake oil salesfolk want to make money off ignorance. Real shame the Vic government fell for that BS.
Nice touch giving us a history lesson though.

I'm lost - what's that for

Looks to me like Chris is going to lower the car onto the battery pack
It's awfully big

From that I'd take the 240 to mean 24 and no following zeros. Next is why did it burn out. Might the bypass (main) contractor be faulty?

Someone just listed a PHEV on carsales with 200,000km on it. I wonder how the battery is going on that one.
$17k

Hmm. It would be interesting to take it for a test drive and quietly check with EvBatmon.

Edit: Queensland - it won't be me.

Hooray!

The survey was about cabin heating!
