In Brisbane, I swapped out busing to work a couple of years to riding an e-bike (I built it using a kit). Now instead of paying ~$1380 per annum for bus trips that take 1 hour each trip door to door, I pay less than $255 in electricity (3.3 kwh at $0.28 to charge 13.5ah battery, let me know if I have calculated this incorrectly) to charge my e-bike (less, due to solar) and what I don't spend on electricity is spent on wear and tear on the bike. The bike trip is 30 minutes door to door gaining me 1 hour back and the freedom to leave and arrive when I want, not according to a bus timetable. It only took me 1 year to pay for the kit ($1200 + bike etc).

Why do they have all these stupid apps for charging ? Why can’t you just charge, then when it stops just pay for what you use with a debit or credit card ? This system has been working in petrol stations for decades.

@rogerstarkey5390 3 месяца назад

Why not just link "A credit card" to a charging account, store the details on *the car* and "plug in"? It's the same account you would use, just a better method. You forget that the credit/ swipe card system needs a data connection? . If the data is backed up on the car and plugging in completes a handshake with the charger, you get the best of all worlds. . 1) Instant charging. . 2) If there's a datalink failure, you get your energy, the record of the transaction just stays on the car, (and in memory of the charger) next time the car connects, and/ or the charger goes live, the data downloads to the system. . 3) No security risk to the driver while trying to make the swipe card connection at the charger. (Tesla chargers are up and running faster than you can get back to your seat) . It's "better"

You need to get up to date. They do this already. All new chargers have contactless payment. Even when they have a specific RFID card or an app they still have contactless terminals. Funny how people who live in a world run by devices using thousands of apps only find apps stupid when they're used for starting an EV charge.

I absolutely love my 2023 Nissan Leaf SV PLUS (this is my second one) and I drive close to 200 miles every day here in the middle of the U.S. Yes, Fast chargers are mostly down here, but I can fully charge with Level 2 in less than 8 hours.... when I'm sleeping. I love "filling up my car" while I sleep. It's very nice. 😁

@trevorberridge6079 3 месяца назад

It's something petrol and diesel car owners will never experience. Going to sleep with 10% left in your "tank" and waking up with at least 80% in your "tank" and you didn't have to do a damn thing. No waiting, no paying issues, no smelly fuel spilled on your shoes, no need to go anywhere to get topped up. Everyone has electricity at home. Almost no-one has a fuel pump.

Another positive farmer story - Win 9 News (Australia NSW South Coast) had a story last night about farmers who have wind turbines on their property. Worth a watch - the income they receive from the renting of their land from the renewable energy providers has helped sustain the farm during drought / floods etc.

Being privileged enough to have driven around the Salton Sea in a Tesla, I can tell you it has not “been destroyed over the last 100 years by extracting water from agriculture. In the 50’s it was an extremely posh and beautiful place attracting celebrities and politicians. The runoff from the farms (which is full of pesticides) made the lake toxic (killing 98% of the 100 million fish) and evaporation raised the salinity. Great episode!

Its not just cars going electric, but also caŕavans. Our caravan has 400 watts of solar on the roof and a 200amp lithium battery. We have just spent 53 days travelling Tasmania and never had to plug into mains power even once. Not once. Excellent! Also, many new caravans are now going gasless - no gas stove or heater. Just an induction cooker, electric water heater, batteries and LOTS of solar on the roof. Progress.

@michaelsecomb4115 3 месяца назад

BTW I calculated that being able to charge our van from solar rather than having to plug into mains power at caravan parks during this tour has saved us about $1000 because we can free camp instead of having to pay to stay connected to mains power. We have spent some of the savings on good food, which is important to us pensioners.

Maintenance: brakes (every 2 years for 10€ front and back - overall 60€), tires (every 2 years for 20€ both complete - overall 120€). Battery got once replaced (the old one sold). 1 spike got replaced (0.1€). Cables never - but checked. Other than that: no maintenance or repairs. The motor is a marvel. With one charge - which is 336 Wh - he drives and drove 60 km. 1 kWh in Germany is now 0.40€ since this year. Was more of a 0,30€ before last year. But let's assume it was 0.40€ all these 12 years. So 1 kWh is 3 full charges - and that's 180 km. 180 km for 0,40€ 75,000 km / 180 km = 416.67 ( times 3 full charges) -> 416.67 * 0.40€ = 166.67€. To summarize: 1 spike: 0.1€ replacement seat: 12€ all brakes over 12 years: 60€ old battery got sold for 100€, new one was 200€ -> 200€ - 100€ = 100€ all tires over 12 years: 120€ overall charging costs: 166.67€ 20'' folding ebike: 600€ 0.1€+12€+60€+100€+120€+166.67€+600€ = 1058.77€ My dad - of whom I assumed he would only maybe make 2,000 km overall - spent 1058.77€ to ride 75,000 km (actually he is a bit over that...around 76,312 km). Weirdest thing: he will turn 80 at the end of March.

when you say that the cost to own a electric car costs $720 per year does that include the cost of a new battery every 10 to 15 years

Dear Robert too long between episodes thank you for the laughs and the informative information I also charge my car from our solar

I was reading recently about USA government statistics of vehicle fires (ev v ice). It would appear that the problem is not ev fires but ev fires publicised by the media, which are significantly less per 100,000 vehicles than ice vehicles.

At first I thought it was windy, but I think the trees are alive and suffering from the heat. They are trying to shake the sweat off.

They sway around to be a moving target for the scorching sunlight, maybe some of the photons will miss their target 😄

I can’t explain enough how much I appreciate news about Australia. It’s usually skipped because politics has delayed us here even though we are HUGE solar uses for decades.

I don't know of ANY government, that is genuinely, honestly, serious about expanding charging infrastructure. If they were, they'd mandate that all fuel stations have to also have electric charging. That would result in a robust charging infrastructure, almost overnight.

Australia does not have a highway networks. It has a bunch of crappy roads between capital cities!

Pro tip, you can add a Opel or any other RFID card to a Chargefox or Evie account, we use a Sydney Opal card to operate chargers.

As far as I know, chargers use cards/tags following the MiFare/MiFare+ standard. As do some "smart" door locks. The name suggests this standard was originally intended for public transport.

I am happy to report that While on holiday in Belize (Central America) I noticed a public charger being installed in the City. I will admit that I have not seen any electric vehicles here yet though.
