    Australia: Summary of Charging Equipment & Options

    Only thing you haven't include is safety, Powerpoints over 15-20amps (can't remember exact figure) aren't required to have an RCD, and older (install pre release of AS3000) powerpoints may not have so there is higher risk using those outlets.

    Charging on Tariff 31

    I know of some J1772 EVSE they had to turn their units down to 20amps because of contactor rating in the meter. who is your distributor there are 3 for qld still i think each which slightly different rulings.

    Australian EV charging network

    based on the artist impression it looks like vaporware. it's not a very good mock up. but it may get some traction as they are multi use so they'll be installed for the wifi and the ev charging is just an added benefit.

    7.0 in Australia

    IMO summoning your car will never be approved for Australia, without changes to the laws. private property doesn't mean private road. so the law is a lot more fuzzy in this regard, tell me if your at a caravan park where it's private property but road rules apply as we have precedents for...

    Mobile charging for Australia

    If you include all the 3rd party type 2 EVSE then you need a spreadsheet not a table google "ladestation typ2" and you'll see a vast amount "available" out of Europe which are Tesla compatible.

    It may be also be illegal if it's considered by your state to be unlicensed electrical work. (since nearly everything is) so you may have to get one made up by a licensed electrical contractor.

    PowerWall vs Model S,X,3,3X etc...

    when the power wall first came out i saw the limited output of 2kW steady and throught this is where tesla are sticking the batteries that don't pass car QA. the powerwall batteries will get a nicer life than car batteries. so that was one theory, tesla don't exactly have a great record of...

    To do List

    yes that makes more sense 25amps per phase spare capacity I must of misread the original post, (6kW single phase or 18kW three phase). they aren't actually chargers but smart powerpoints they still send A/C power to your car which has an on board charger.
  34. Gabz

    To do List

    That is low is that what you have spare or your maximum normally it's 63amps per phase. even then you'll be able to get away with a 3phase evse turned down to 10amps per phase (7.2kW) maybe even 13amps per phase (9.3kW) and avoid doing anything crazy like charging on a hot day with your a/c...

    Mobile charging for Australia

    If it does follow the standard then it does make a difference as it has to do a earth and neutral check to ensure the RCD works correctly. if you connect it the car first it might see an incorrect earth path and and pass the rcd check when it shouldn't.

    idea: group buy mobile charger +RCM approval

    Some of this stuff I haven't thought through like the adapter cables, if you make them up from already approved parts and then there wouldn't need much if anything to approve them probably.... if in reality you only want a 10amp 15amp plug then you can find stuff cheaper than a juice booster 1...
