Re: Importing Leaf ZE1 (current) model..
Any updates on how the ZE1 is going Matthew (or anyone else with a Grey Import one)? So... I paid it off last week. $30k loan in 3 yrs... so it's now fully mine. So happy about that. The head unit has been converted to English but crashes regularly. But unevenly... so it's fine some days and just w...

Re: BEV comprehensive insurance
Northern beaches Sydney: Alliance + NRMA both about $2200/yr for a 2019 Leaf.
I did have a claim last year, cause someone hit me: their fault. And that adds $500 or so to the quote. Interesting how that works.

Re: Smug EV driver gets rude email from power company.
put a few more solar panels up, you'll be right The northern roof is already full. The big issue is that the Leaf is parked at the work place during the weekdays.

Re: New NRMA public chargers still having Chademo plugs installed
Chademo is fine. I own a Leaf. I would definitely lobby NRMA to keep adding more Chademo plugs.
In fact I've specifically bought NRMA products because of their support for rolling out EV charging network hardware. I should tell them...

Re: Range now < 50km
I did manage to get a external repair kit and apply it to the tyre (successfully I think?). But currently on day 3 of the "spicy cold". So haven't been able to retest. Still though the thought of 100km+ range is probably enough to keep investigating even if the range is still ~60km. I'm a ...

Range now < 50km
When I first bought the VX1 I could get around 62km to a full battery. This was with the bike at 12500ish kms on the clock and after a lithium conversion. No idea when the lithium conversion was done or what the current batteries actually are. It was handled by a previous owner. Now the bike has 295...

The wasteland between Sydney and Newcastle....
How come there is zero serious charging options between Sydney and Newcastle? I mean it's a pretty major route that a lot of EVs would take. I think I can make it from home in Sydney's northern beaches to the Wallsend NRMA fast charger but I've never confirmed that in practice (2018 JDM Leaf - Type1...

Re: Fonzarelli X1 - 13 kW motor!
Funny, my Vectrix has the same range. But a higher top speed: 100km/h, and it feels completely at home at that speed, like it'd be happy to do more. Heaps more storage room as well.

Type 2 public chargers... built in cable or BYO?
I realized recently that if I show up at a Type2 public charger and it has a built in cable I'm not going to be able to charge. I have a type2 to type1 cable (car is type1). So if it just has a socket I'm good to go. How common is the Type2 cable being built in to the charger? And can I get an adapt...

What is the "3.0kw" mean on this page:
Is that some charge rate limit?
It doesn't seem to change. And it's certainly not the rate it's currently changing at (slightly less than 2kw). And I can't see any way to edit it...

I have a brand new Type 1 Yazaki OEM EVSE. 15A plug with 10A pilot. Make me an offer... :-) Unfortunately I already paid for one from evolution australia which is on it's way. But I appreciate the effort. Speaking of charging it appears I only have the 3.3kw charger on board. Sigh. Not happy Jan.
