Anyone in #Melbourne interested in learning how to build your own #EV?
Held at the South Barwon Community Centre, get ready to dive into the world of electric vehicles as expert Graeme Manietta, guides you through the process step by step. From selecting the right components, battery knowledge, and safety to assembling and testing your creation, you'll gain practical knowledge and skills that you can apply to converting your own car.
Lol--after 15 years I finally resurrected my 1978 Kawasaki KZ400 "Reloaded"! I put nearly 50 miles on it today but for some reason the battery wasn't charging so I had to park it and put it on charge. I wonder what's wrong with it? ;)
245 miles today, the most #ElectricVehicle driving I've done in a day. Plenty for me, if not a lot by some folks' standard. One 20 minute charge. Easy peasy.
So I'm having to park closer to the wall of our driveway as my Dad now has a Van he uses for work which is taking up room.
Side effect being it was a rather tight squish plugging the cable for my car to charge in.
To resolve this I've made it semi teathered, a few cable clips from Screwfix and a 3D Printed holder for the cable and voila. It actually looks rather neat.
Downside is I need to get a second cable for public charging, which I rarely do.
The rest of the family ventured out of electric-car friendly #Quebec on a road trip to #NYC some notes:
Many Electrify America chargers are at VW dealers remote from teenage-interesting services.
Make sure you have roaming with unlimited data -the charger apps all require lots.
In the city, many of the public chargers are inside pay-for-parking garages. They had to drive to New Jersey to find an accessible fast DC charger (and pay the bridge toll)... #EV#ElectricVehicle
I booked an #ElectricVehicle to use on holiday in Spain. Not for environmental reasons - that would be pretty hollow since we're flying there - but because it was the cheapest option for a reasonable sized car. I doubt we'll be doing many mile..., er kilometers but anyone know how public charging in Catalonia compares to the UK?
After much faffing with APIs in various states of disrepair I have settled on an #ElectricVehicle charging automation that polls the battery level every 15 minutes and only needs to adjust one parameter: it either sets the EV charger to 100% grid or 100% solar.
The Mustang MachE #EV has finally arrived in Australia. Nowhere near as big as I thought it was going to be - and that’s a good thing. #ElectricVehicle
This was spotted in Newstead, #Brisbane
Ok, her me out #ElectricVehicle owners:
We should make it a tradition to listen to AC/DC while waiting at the charging station when it is warm enough to open a window!
