AEVA Forums

Thanks for the response 4springs. I must say that I am troubled by your reasoning. 1/ You say that naming the branch Hobart would not be inclusive, yet that Tasmanians are parochial. From this you then conclude that you should have a branch named the Tasmanian branch located only in Hobart. How is t...

Currently, each state and one territory (apart from Tasmania, of course) has exactly one AEVA branch, with their names being the name of the city they are located in.

This implied naming policy allows for more than one branch in any state or territory.

Hi Guys in Tassie, Congratulations on starting up a branch of AEVA - it’s about time! :-) As you can see, every one of branches of the organisation you wish to join is named after the city it is located in: Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney. What will the name of the new branch ...

Re: #17, if you make your browser window wider, it does come up side-by-side.

EV2Go, Weber has it about right. The problem is that AEVA and the forums are somewhat schizophrenic. On the one hand, AEVA has been around for more than 40 years, and for as long as I have known of it, it has had membership fees. (I don't have much knowledge about this, so maybe somebody else could ...

Currently, forums.aeva.net.au is a test.

Fixing the bugs may cause changes to the test forum.

N.B. This is completely independent from these forums that you are viewing right now.

The thing I have in my mind's eye when I think about non-public threads closely matches jonescg's: I think about the kinds of discussions that go into getting an event together. It's not knowledge about EVs, and it's transitory, and it might contain private information like contact details that you ...

I think a 'test' is in the process of being created, and that that is by no means a forgone conclusion.

As far as the software is concerned, it's phpBB, and you might want to have a look at it running on phpbb.com, e.g. here: https://www.phpbb.com/kb/3.0/ to see if it renders ok.

I have had my iMiEV for over 3 years now, and definitely had battery anxiety on occasion. The last one was before I even knew about turtle mode! I got the car home on zero bars and thought I'd see what happened when if I ran out, so I turned everything up and tried going up and down the driveway lot...

I agree with weber's listed disadvantages and would like to add:

(d) We live in a post-Snowden era, and should make sure that any laws governing our data are only Australian laws.

(Thanks for the details Rob. We agree on many of them. Happy to take the technical stuff offline.) Let me make this simple: Everybody agrees that the forum data is very valuable. What would happen to it if Andrew had an accident or decided to join the ACECA, the Australian Crush Electric Cars Associ...

Regarding moving the software to another environment, I think you are overestimating the amount of work involved.

These people promise to do it for a couple of hundred bucks:

To rhills and anybody who is at all interested in actually helping: please get in touch!

There are all sorts of things that can be done, and I'm sure there are lots of people who have great ideas about things that could be done.

You can private message me.

Dear acmotor, It would be preferable to work with the facts and keep the discussion on an even keel. There is no proposal to delete the current content of the forums. There is no proposal which would result in the deletion of the forum content. This has already been pointed out in this discussion. T...

Hello, There seem to be a lot of issues which are tangled up here. Some of them are orthogonal, but some inter-related. For example, implementing membership restrictions would require moving the forums, but moving the forums themselves has nothing to do with membership restrictions (unless you see i...

Hey guys, I have a really strong opinion on nuclear power too, but is there somewhere else we can have a good stouch aobut it? After all, this is meant to be about EVs..

I have heard that you only get about 17% back from regen..

By the sounds of things, this is exactly the sort of article which should be openly available and on an electric vehicle site.. The Coal Powered Car article stated that a Tesla Roadster would produce 284g/km if charged in Victoria, which is about the same as an auto Commodore SS at 292g/km. It also ...

Hi Bryce,

It sounds like this article would be a perfect candidate for the AEVA web site!


Would this be possible?

The well-to-wheel costs are very rubbery. I have heard estimates from 10% to 100% extra pollution. These people http://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au/GVGPublicUI/home.aspx include about 10%, I believe. You can use this page to search and include charging emissions: http://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au/...

Yes, if you buy an EV, you are most probably also buying/generating green power. The problem is that because this is not quantified, we can't make any claims about it, so we end up at the lowest common denominator, which is where we say this, but people don't believe us. Yes, charging at night when ...

The ABC's Checkout program tomorrow night (4.4.13) will have a segment on EVs.

Basically, it's about their carbon footprint IF you happen to charge from non-green power.

They have a Tesla Roadster, a Mitsubishi iMiEV and a Volt.

My interest in this is that the iMiEV is mine.

I differ on that opinion, but it's your site, your decision. It's not my site, it's AEVA's - I'm just the person who put it together. I really really encourage people to get involved. There are site maintenance and development jobs as well as a whole world of EV information to put up!!! All sorts o...

I've added an FAQ page with the first 5 FAQs. Unfortunately, they are very out of date, so I stopped there.

Looking forward to Coulomb fixing it up.
