Lots on Ebay for under $200.00 with type 2 plugs & from $80.00 from Ali express adjustable from 6amps to 16 amps. If you want to be able to plug in to any 10 amp wall socket that is the maximum you could draw or you will trip the breaker/blow the fuse.

I can set the maximum current on the EVSE from 6 amps to 32 amps. When set to 32 amps and the voltage is higher than 230 volts the current is reduced automatically on the EVSE app. It may be the on board charger/inverter that is doing the limiting refusing to accept more than 7kW or thereabouts.

12V battery is 12.6V with car off which is what I would expect & charges at about 14V when the car is in ready state. Everything works properly when car is not in ready state so I don't think that is the problem. I can't replicate the fault as it happens so rarely. All I can do is document each...

Yep, I installed 6mm² cable (12 metres from the supply) a 40 Amp RCCB and my ZJ Benny EVSE delivers the maximum 6.6kW to the battery through the cars inverter drawing a maximum of 32 Amps at 230 volts AC (7.36 kW). Often the voltage is higher especially on sunny days when my solar panels are...

An issue I have had lately is that I am driving along the Pacific highway at 110 km/h in ACC & the system comes up with a whole heap of errors including ACC being disengaged and front/rear collision systems, LKA etc no longer work. If I stop & shut down & restart all is OK again. This has...

I've never had a problem charging at a fast/super charger with the car still on or unlocked. As soon as it starts, I do the same & head off for a cuppa & check the SOC from the app. The only problems have been with the chargers themselves especially Tritium chargers.

Boring, bland and bigger & possibly front wheel drive, less power and with a battery from a company no-one has ever heard of. The Chinese can keep this one maybe as an inner city Shanghai taxi. The current model had its original design work done by the Royal Academy of Arts and engineering by...

There is no evidence of the HV battery catching fire in any of these photos. In fact the base of both cars is about the only part still in one piece other than the steel sheet metal body and other metal parts. All modern cars have a huge amount of combustible material in them, mostly from...

I used to work on a simple rule of thumb that a car halved its value every 3 years but it isn't linear as the most depreciation happens in the first year. So a $50,000 car will lose $10k to $15k (in the first year at a normal mileage of say 20,000km (12,500 miles) a year or less & be worth 25k...

Dunno if it is the same on the Cyberster but on the MG4 a long press on the Infotainment Home button reboots the system.

Thanks for a really good summary of your trip & stressful issues. I don't make many long trips but my first was quite memorable. It was back in October 2023 when the car was a month old. I live in Corindi Beach, just North of Coffs Harbour & had to go to Noosa for an AGM of Body Corporate of...

All modern cars be they ICE or EV have numerous micro processors that manage multiple functions. In an EV the 12 volt battery is charged from the high voltage battery & not from an alternator via a voltage regulator and rectifier. The systems need to talk to one another in an EV to ensure the 12...

How many Cybersters can you buy for the cost of one Lamborghini?

Yes the next service information is just a countdown to 40,000km but if you have less than 40,000km on the clock 2 years from the car being delivered to you and on the road, that is when the first service is due.
