I thought I had some but not that I found... Will take some and post shortly. Unfortunately Sydney weather has been a tad wet and not conducive to photography !

No, but they're good for out of hours support :)

You need to get out more :D

The RAA chargers all through S.A. and I also used a couple in the ACT operated by Engie. Billed through Chargefox (via my Opal Card*) Excellent chargers. *I read the RFID number from my NSW public transport "Opal" card and added it to my Chargefox account. Works perfectly. Gave my wife the...

Hi David, I activate the auto-hold by pressing the brake with an extra push. You can tell when you've given it enough extra push by looking at the main screen. Below the speed, in between the "READY" sign and the Battery SoC reading you'll see an 'A' in white when you've come to a stop. Give...

I never plan a route that is reliant on a single plug charger. They're invariably Tritium chargers and even if working aren't particularly fast and will be in use anyway when you want to use it ;) The multi plug Kempower units are just as reliable as the Tesla's albeit not quite as fast, but...

I'm sure there's a mathematical model for it that looks fantastic but becomes very less useful when reality becomes involved :) For me here in Australia the limiting factor is actually charger availability along with speed limits. Many country roads are only 100kmh and the top legal speed is...

We have an MY23 Essence 77 aka Trophy ER and an MY24 Excite 51 aka SE SR. The USB C outlet powers our phones just fine. I have a Pixel 9 Pro and used to have an 8 Pro. My wife has used a iPhone 12, 13 & 14, I also have one of these left over from my previous car which is plugged in the 12V...

The 22kW charger is wired for 32A on all 3 phases. With an appropriate cable you will draw 32A on a single phase with your Essence 64. You could buy a 22kW 3 Phase cable but you only need a 7kW single phase cable. That being said, I'd just get a 32A 3 Phase one as I can't see any single phase...

HI, I initially ordered "those ones" however when they arrived the front seat covers had "Mulan" embroidered on them in a quite large font and they looked really cheap and tacky... Even without the embroidery, the orange insets look pretty average in real life too... I sent them back as they...

I'm afraid I can't see where on that gif the charging speed is shown?

I don't know about them other than in Australia where they are used by one of our State's motoring groups (The RAA) extensively and they're really good! Unfortunately the Tritium chargers have proven to be a disaster:(

In my experience if you start below 40% you will get to near 140kW as in my experience it takes a minute or so to get to full power (which if you've started above about 40% it will hit the 50% mark by the time it could hit full power but now won't as it is on the downward part of the curve)...

Yes, the highest charge speed is only realised under 50%. There's a charge curve graphic posted earlier from memory. With my NMC battery "77" ER the max is 144kW, a "64" LR tops off at 140kW and the LFP "51" SR only does 88kW. I regularly see 144kW on Tesla and RAA (Kempower hardware) chargers...

Looks OK I guess - I did this search on Amazon Au and came up with the following: - https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=suv+car+tent&crid=3B7ZTTR2TM8SC&sprefix=suv+car+tent%2Caps%2C216&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Lots more options... Not that I'm interested in the tent/camping option myself. My idea of...
