Oh yes Ismise the electric car feels different and much better.
Not that I have had the opportunity for a long country drive.
But I was impressed with the Leaf.

I should have mentioned in my last post that for home charging you can
buy a charger to suit your needs. They seem to come in various power
ratings. If you do not have a 15 amp gpo you may have to get an
electrician to rerun the wiring in a larger size for a 15 amp gpo.
Alternatively you could get a two or three phase socket in your garage
if you really need a still faster charger.
Trickle charging overnight is ideal as it is reputed to give longer
life time of the battery. Probably because of lower temperature rise.

Treasurer has launched a hollow insult/attack on Labor or its policy on EVs
But neglected to tell us he drives one
Such things happen when you put politics ahead of science

Belly, pleases explain what's hollow about this from Frydenberg:

"There's going to be more demand on the grid from some of these types of reforms. They haven't costed the backup and storage that's needed, they haven't costed what the impact on the change in the existing energy mix is."

Here is an article about 350Kw chargers.
It makes my hair curl to think about that.

Putting that much current into the battery must produce a lot of heat.
350Kw at 400 volt is 875 amps ! The cable would be very heavy.
Perhaps too heavy for lady drivers.
I find it hard to believe.
It would fully charge the Hydundai iCONOQ in 15 minutes from flat.
Perhaps that was what Electric Bill was talking about.

Yes Bazz, you can do all sorts of things, if you have the power available.

Our single phase supply is fully used by all the pumps & things you need when you don't have town water or sewerage. We cannot power even a moderate size air conditioning unit in my granny flat. All the reverse cycle, which we wanted, draw too much current. We need an extra drain like a hole in the head

We have been advised it is unlikely an extra phase will become available in my life time.

With the stupidity of windmills surely we don't need to add even more stupid government chosen mistakes to our lives.

Hasbeen, I don't know the rules in Qld but I thought that there was a
generally minimum service obligation to supply an adequate supply to Australian standards.
ie the voltage should remain within certain limits etc etc.
