    I am using a similar charger that can do from 10A, 16A, 20A, 32A. But in order to do that you have to be sure that your electrical line can hadle it. Most of the common sockets can go up to 16A.

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  27 днів тому +3

      Yes good advice and thanks for sharing. Really? Most common sockets can go up to 16A ? Maybe that the safety buffer for a 10A socket?
      Nevertheless, you are right, be it 15A, 16A, 20A or 32A we need to get sound advice from electrician to make sure it's enough to support the current. It's not worth saving a few hours of time charging and burn down the house. Safety first everyone.

    What feed in tariff are you getting? We charge off our solar when the car is home during the day. Thats about 3 days of the week. With feed in tariffs being so low at $0.07 per kw.

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  25 днів тому

      Ya, your situation is quite common. I am an early solar adopter (15 years ago) so my feed in tarrif is $0.49 per kW.

  • @aimanjajo9951
    @aimanjajo9951 27 днів тому +1

    Out of curiosity what electricity plan are you on were your feeding in the electricity from solar is cheaper than buying from retailer, because I'm almost certain all companies feed in tariffs are now less than what they sell energy for in Australia.

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  27 днів тому

      Haha.... it's not the electricity plan that is giving me that feed in price. I am one of those few who signed up for solar 16 years ago (2008) when government were pushing hard for solar hence the incentive. I've got the solar feed in price locked for 20 years. Yes, we can't get this price anymore today. So FYI I am getting $0.49 feed in price and they are selling me at $0.29.

    Hello. Do you use the car everyday? I am looking at this car but will be using it everyday to drive to work. Hearing it takes three days to charge sounds annoying. If you have the 15 amp socket it would take one night 12 hours? Thanks

    • @martinwalker9234
      @martinwalker9234 27 днів тому +1

      You only have to charge what you use, so unless your drive to work is over 450 km round trip it would be less than 12 hours. I take my daughter to school in the morning which is about a 30km journey plugging the charger in when I get home. This journey discharges the battery by about 5 kWh so charging with a 15 amp supply at 220 volts would take about 1.5 hours to get back to 100%. (1.5hrs x 15amps x 220volts = 4950 watts)

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  27 днів тому +2

      Yes, what @martinwalker9234 said. When I said three nights is super slow 8 amp charging from 30% back to 100%. If you don't drive much and charge when its at 60% - 70% you should be able to charge it up in 1 night.
      The other thing to note is that I find it's ok to charge 3 nights because while the car is charging, I am in my house doing my own things, in other words, it doesn't affect my lifestyle at all. If I don't plug in to charge, the car is sitting in the garage anyway. This is why I don't like fast charging at charging stations where I have to wait 1 hour for it to charge up from 30% to 100%, I would rather prefer 30 hours of charging at home. A different perspective.
