Beautiful car and awesome result. I too an very interested in the instrumentation. I have the same controller and motor more or less in my BladeEV / Hyundai commercial conversion. I need new batteries so it's time to do some proper instrumentation. John Lindsay > On 24 Aug 2014, at 1:11 am,

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Menacing Copper-Theives> A 'Cut & Steal'EVSEScourge

This is common in the UK. The charge point often has a "type 2" connector which is either single or three phase 240 volts. The connector is made by Mennekes. An example of cables that work with this can be seen from this random site: http://pim.cenex.co.uk/plugged-in-midlands/charging-point-eq

Read the voltage drop across the cables connecting the batteries. The missing volts equal the charge current multiplied by the total resistance in the connections and cables. Otherwise known as Ohms Law. You may have some bad connections. John Lindsay > On 26 Sep 2014, at 10:50 am, Buddy Mil

The Australian delivered Teslas have the UK style, 3 phase, Mennekes connector for charging rather than a J1772. The official word from Tesla Australia is that a J1772 to Mennekes adaptor will not work with the car. I’m a little skeptical about this. They are readily available in the UK and cl

I've recently had the chance to take a close look at RedFlow in Australia. They have a zinc bromine flow battery. It has electrodes made of carbon but the electrolyte is zinc bromide. The battery isn't designed for vehicle use and isn't certified for that. It can deliver 3KW continuously at 60

There is a thriving business in the USA converting Tesla UMC portable charging cables into J1772. Just chop off the plug and attach a J1772 plug. I am in Australia and now have a Model S. Tesla use the Mennekes plug which supports three phase 230/240/250 volt power that is reasonably common her
