Thanks for raising this, I am remaining a NRMA member for now as other chargers including Tesla are not cheap - I am hoping this will be a more viable option for road trips.

Have dropped timeout down to two minutes, I hope this is ok. I hear loud mechanical switching noises as it cycles on and off, not sure about the car yet though. I suspect it may actually decrease charge efficiency if the car is left running for long periods without charging, dunno. I suspect...

Want to show this car off to some tradies, thinking of getting performance boost "trial" for two days, and then use that up before saving up my pocket money for it... anyone done this? I do want to try it out, I hear it does make a noticeable difference?

A subscription option would be awesome... $3k is a lot but would be nice to get eventually. Imperial units are getting so old, there is literally only two countries in the world who still use this dumb system they keep forcing on everyone else, Geesh US move on.

Does charge-standby keep the car awake overnight and possibly kill the 12v battery or something? Seems fine so far, will run an overnight test on Eco+ mode to see what happens.

Could this void warranty in any way? Interested in using it myself (Android).

Increased charge stop/start delay to the max of four minutes, made a huge difference - now cycles much less frequently and should be fine. Now to test leaving it plugged in overnight to automatically start charging in the morning.

It seems to work fine, honestly, I was even surprised to see the car start charging the next day although I assume it kept the car awake all night but didn't seem to cause any issues - I was very impressed frankly. So Eco+ seems

I have a Zappi V2 three phase charger installed, and a M3 LR 21 model... I like the idea of the Eco+ mode that stops charging when surplus is not available, however could this damage the car or cause premature wearing e.g. on the charge port lock which I hear clicking sometimes? I assume Eco...

This annoys me too! Thanks for the tip.

Any further info on this? I'm worried now too, I have a three phase Zappi charger, should I at least not run Eco+ mode and only run Eco mode?

I have a M3 LR 21 model, does performance boost make much difference?

Any idea when NRMA will start charging for this or if it will be included in their roadside service product? Which I suspect will happen as I have roadside service on my Tesla M3 and keeping it for this reason as it may be a very good deal if we can 'subscribe' to EV charging...

Honestly I don't bother with range. It was marginally useful in an ICE car so I always just used the fuel meter which worked fine. Same here, first thing I did was switch to percentage and estimate the rest myself. An accurate range estimate is like an accurate weather forecast. Even with the...

Maybe it's just a US thing but we work with KWs here, calculating amps if needed. My home is three phase 240v power so I can get good juice out of that. My aircon is like 400v / 10KW (input). Can't wait to get my 11KW Zappi charger.
