I believe @g4qbers one was silver not white

Personally I run with one of these under my seat cover. https://perthpowers.com/products/heated-car-seat-cushion-cover-universal-fit-black-gray?variant=31885005291652&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping Screenshot_2020-12-03-19-16-59-911_com.android.chrome.png You can als...

Well, a repairable write off phev went at pickles auction in Queensland yesterday. Last I saw with 12 hours to go it was at $3100. I don't know if the mitsubishi inverter has been cracked, or if it's been cracked to the level you need but one from a prius or lexus (which are both pretty well sorted)...

I have some noname Chinese ones from eBay but housemate didn't like the security on them. These look a bit more reliable. Ta! Yeah, that sounds like the sonoff ones :? I haven't used the tp link ones but I can say the dlink are rubbish (they overheat easily at high current and the app is painful to...

Does it have to be a new motor? Could you use a 2nd hand ev/hybrid motor and inverter. I know EV wrecks are hard to come by in Australia but might be an avenue to look down. Might even be worth the freight to import something

Hmm, that's no good. Wonder what's caused such an early fault. Something not assembled properly perhaps...
Hope it gets sorted out quickly and you get back on the road soon.

Yes, thank you. The small snippets I managed to catch were good, I can't wait to be able to go back over the rest of it.

Not currently required in WA but will be soon according to the latest announcements.
And I agree, a bit of subtle EV advertising can't hurt although I doubt anyone on the roads pay enough attention to notice

The sonoff ones are hacked quite a bit to work with stuff like what you are talking about.

Looking really good. Keep up the impressive work.

Mines always worked correctly, possibly because it came with a later update out of the box.
My firmware is 2171710, is your one the same?

We used to be on Dixon Road, but we moved. We're now at 4 Edison circuit, East Rockingham.
Give the workshop a call on 95271591

What did you do about brake assist that is compressed by the engine? Run a separate compressor? Yes. People normally fit a small 12v vacuum pump with a pressure switch and reservoir. There are pumps made for the task. If you are feeling ambitious you can change the booster to an electric type rathe...

Well, if you are in the Rockingham area we install them at Autospark.
There's heaps of different options out there (GPS, front and rear cameras, phone connection,picture quality etc) so most people get their own and we fit them up but we can supply as well.

Nice, liquid cooled beetle

I assume there was no neat way of using the original beetle fill port for the power inlet?

Actually, GPOs are designed for intermittent use. It's generally accepted that if you use a GPO for more than about 4 hours continuously (as you easily could with an EV charger), then you need to only use about 75-80% (I forget which) of the rated current. That may not apply to the 3-phase outlets,...

Well that seems like a brute force solution to a poor latch design. Will they increase it to 3 cycles in the future when the latch starts sticking closed even with 2 tries?
Or are Renault expecting it to self clearance over time?
Or are they simply expecting it to be out of warranty by then?

I wouldn't say it's as bad as it ever was as they have slightly different chemistries in the cells but without active thermal cooling it is certainly still in the unacceptable category. For what it's worth Nissan has stated that the new batteries will out last the life of the Vehicle. Unfortunately ...

At near on $1000 you'd think there's some electrickery going on in there. Although I suspect it's just a straight pass through and the price is due to a limited (and captive) specialty market

Any difference in insurance costs?
And with services/maintenance costs over those kilometres you are going to need a couple of major services. You could try calling a dealer and asking for prices on all scheduled services for both cars.

I don't have any real experience with the hairball so this is just a spit ball idea but there could be a short in the throttle which is pulling a 5V (or something) bus to ground. Hence disconnecting the throttle gives you comms. Now it may not engage the precharge until it detects a good input from ...

I can't help with a diagram, but I can give you some words of encouragement.

You can do this.
We all believe in you.

Congratulations

I thought that the type 1 AC connector (commonly called J1772) has the exact same control interface as the type 2 AC connector (commonly called mennekes).
They both use the J1772 standard (which is for communication not plug shape).

Apocryphal!

Good point, I'm the first to admit English is not my strong point. I understand the rules but I always forget them

I've now fixed it.
