Has anyone measured how much current their house is pulling from the grid when the Model S is on charge? Would your local utility allow 22 kW+ assuming the house is on a three phase connection and the Model S is equipped with twin on-board AC chargers? The limits in WA are around 14 kW for a...

How much do you spend on EV power per week i.e. on average what does it cost you per week to fuel your Tesla? This obviously depends on the amount of driving you do? Has anyone worked out their average weekly spend over a year?

Has anyone used the Tritium Veefil DC fast charging stations in NZ? Do they work well and are they reliable?

A Tesla Model S charging on the AC cable of an E-Station DC charger pulled 19.663 kWh in 53 minutes and 59 seconds. Not bad.

There are opportunities for Tesla owners to promote the spread of EV charging networks by encouraging businesses such as hotels to install wall mounted Tesla charging stations. Small business owners can recoup the cost of charging stations by promoting their businesses as Model S Friendly...

We have sold out of the cables. I can order in another batch if there is enough interest. Ping me if you want one.

I have two genuine Mennekes mobile EVSE type 2 charging cables available which are compatible with Tesla Model S. Adjustable ampage setting; 16A, 13A, 11A, 8A, 6A. The cables are fitted with an Clipsal outdoor rated 15 amp plug. Can be used with 10 amp wall sockets using a JCAR...

J1772 (Type 1) does not support 3 phase power. Mennekes (Type 2) supports three phase and is a better fit for the Australian market because we inherited a UK standard grid. However the EV Manufacturers decided that Australia is a part of Asia and as result defaulted to the J1772 standard. - - -...

Because the Tesla Model S has native type 2 AC charging. No adapter required. The cable plugs directly into the car.

Circa $2,500.

Has anyone estimated the depreciation rate for a Tesla S and it's potential resale value after 2 years. A 2012 Holden Volt with 30,000 km on the clock is worth about $35,000 to $40,000. It cost $70,000 on the road. A 2012 Mitsubishi i-Miev with $30,000 km on the clock is worth around $25,000...

By way of comparison the Holden Volt has a 16.5 kWh battery pack of which 10.5 kWh is usable. This gives a range of 60-70 km at freeway speeds. The attached photo shows a journey which took place mostly on the freeway consisting of 60.9 km on the battery and 14.2 km on the petrol range...

The standard in most electric cars is that the usable kWh is around 70/80% of the total battery pack capacity but some of the S drivers in the States have reported 80.1 kWh availability which is around 95% of the battery pack. I don't think Tesla have reported any figures for this. The...

Good Day Ladies and Gents. I worked out the following calculations for a Tesla S with an 85 kWh battery pack and would appreciate confirmation that they are correct. The Tesla S comes standard with a 10 kW on-board AC charger or an optional dual AC charger capable of drawing 20 kW of...

Interesting. I wonder who is going to pay for the power consumed by the supercharger network. For example: 60 kWh * $0.25 = $15. 80 kWh * $0.25 = $20. These are indicative figures because the battery packs won't be flat but if the supercharger was averaging $50 per day then the cost of...

I am going to adopt a radical and controversial position on the Tesla supercharger network. It's a complete waste of time. Why build a separate charging network for Tesla cars that non Tesla electric cars cannot use? The DC charging network in Australia will be based on Combo 1 (assuming that...

Yes. You are correct. There was a typo in the original post. There is no "official" Australian standard but all the existing production cars imported into Australia are J1772 so there is a presumption that the next generation of electric cars will have a single Combo 1 (J1772(TYpe 1) + DC Fast...

The DC charging stations will have two cables, CHAdeMO and Combo 2. The Leaf and I-MieV are CHAdeMO while the BMW i3 is Combo 2. There is a question mark over whether the CHAdeMO standard will be deprecated. Tesla S cars optioned with supercharge can access the CHAdeMO DC charging stations via...
