I had shingles a few years ago. It was a total non-event. Some people suffer, some not.
I declined my free vaccination.

You were lucky....or too tough ?.

Maybe lucky that time, not so lucky with my heart.
My shingles were below the waist, an amusing look with spots down one side. Mild ...

Thanx,
It is not happening any time soon though.

I've never noticed such a setting. SOC was low when I first tried but I've tried again now at %81 SOC.
The main LCD lights when I plug it in but is mostly blank.
All the specs sheets say Ora doesn't do V2X - only Sam Evans says it does. Maybe the research was done on a different model or it used the ...

I got my $38 ebay V2L a few days ago. It looks good but doesn't work on my Ora.
I tested it with a work light but no-go.
I locked and unlock the car a few time but it didn't help.
The car did seem to know something had been plugged in as it made a noise and lit the dash.
The resister value appears ...

Ebay lists some for as little as $38
That's about what I paid from Ali Express, perhaps a little more, for the "adapter" type where you supply the cord. But I have plenty extension cords.

I tried charging one EV from the other, but could not get it to work. I think it's the lack of a proper ...

How much $$$
Ebay lists some for as little as $38
Interestingly most adds seem to be for the same model with the same blurb and all say "not for MG4" - no other EVs are mentioned.

Thanx for the replies. All news to me.
It could be as simple as a resister and test pen to see it the car has the inverter.
Sam Evans (electric viking) said the Ora-3 is V2L capable even through Ora makes no mention of it that I've found.
I think he said 11kW but it was some time ago and I could ...

Searching for CCS2 V2L I'm seeing a lot of adds for V2L showing a type2 connector.
I would not think a standard J1772 style connector would support V2L.
Am I missing something or all they all scams? Is there a bi-directional J1772 variant?

Faulty cell possibly caused by the BMS but more likely the cell itself.

Ta,
Vintage? Odometer?
Have you any found battery monitoring apps that work?
I tried MeowEV without luck - too long ago to remember what went wrong.

I think I've only seen about one other Ora per month so I wasn't expecting ...

Eddie,

Hi Pete and all,
Yes busy, 4:50 am start today.
Yesterday I gave up waiting for the 5V supply to arrive and bought a USB charger from Kmart to gut. They were out of stock of the $9 single USB one I wanted so I bought the $12 dual one.
It powered the system OK but it died when I dissembled it. I have ...

Smoke test failed - no smoke released.
Minor bad news - the 240vAC to 12/5VDC supply I bought isn't powerful enough - 500mA 5V and 100mA 12V (I think). A bigger supply is on order but it is 5V only.
I had hoped I could under-clock the RPI-Zero-W to make it work on the smaller supply but no luck with ...

Yeap, I am adjusting the duty cycle. Lots of way to skin this cat.

Are you charging at home? I had a ground fault because my off-grid power didn't have an earth-neutral link. I made a plug into a link and plugged it into a power point - charger worked after that.
There should be no voltage between those circuit (E-N), an AC meter showed I had some.

I picked the car up yesterday. I asked the service person if they learned anything. She said something like "we had to go the long way round".
I haven't had a good look yet. Android-auto looks good but I don't see any other changes to the firmware. The native voice assist doesn't seem to work and no ...

I have some results for my EVSE hack test.
Some good some not.
The aim is the clip the end off the high part of the 1khz pilot to reduce the duty cycle and control the charging current the EV sucks up.
Yes, I can do this with a 1/7 of uln2003. It just shorts to earth. With a diode added it pulls the ...

I don't have openEVSE but it is not out of the question if my current efforts fail. I have a avoided MQTT so far and I'm likely to find another way to talk to openEVSE. It is open sourced and can the modified if needed. I think MQTT is good if the same data is needed by a lot of different devices on ...

The firmware update for my Ora is out.
The dealer tried to update this morning but failed.
They can't do anything ATM and had trouble reaching haval(GWM) for advice.
They gave me a haval ICE car as a loaner. It feels like a tank.
(edit) They couldn't un-brick it and have ordered a new head-unit ...

My CRO has died.I could try a USB CRO but I don't have much time left here so the project is on hold.
FYI, the new EVSE does throw an error if you short the pilot to ground but it does recover when you open the short.
Also you don't have to go through the 9V connect stage to get a pilot. Just a ...

Yeap that was it.
I added a earth-neutral link and the EVSE makes charging motions.
I haven't looked at the waveform yet.

No luck getting the spare EVSE to go into charge mode. I think I *might* know the reason.
It throws an error-3 - a protective earth fault. I get this with no connections to the plug as well.
I tried it on the car and got the same. I also tried the Ora EVSE and got a red light and no charging - I've ...

Hi Coulomb,
Do you think it would be acceptable to switch EV charging off by short the 1Khz pilot to ground. It would just look like an unpowered EVSE to the car.
I think the EVSE 1K is 1/4 watt and should handle the short OK.
I'm currently breaking the pilot line with a relay and pulling it the 12V ...

Hi Godoh,
I'm pretty sure I saw coulomb do this at my place using a cheap ebay (edit Ali-express) charger (6-16amp?) . Mine can't. We had changeable solar power conditions and being able to change the current was handy.
I think it was youtuber Julian Ilett showed his car respond instantly to his DIY ...
