Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Archaic Salacious Electricians.au cast EVs as bogeyman
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 claimed to work with a Tesla Model S. I will get to experiment with this on Simon’s car if and when the Juicebox shows up.

I gather (from Plugshare) that most AU Level 2 public EVSEs are either tethered J1772 or a Type 2 (Mennekes) socket. In the former case, a simple J1772 (Type 1) to Mennekes (Type 2) converter would work fine. You could make one yourself for AU$200 and no degree in rocket science required. In the latter case an equally simple Type 2 to Type 1 cable would be equally fine and still cost about $AU 200 (eg www.EVBitz.uk!). Regards, Martin Winlow.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Archaic Salacious Electricians.au cast EVs as bogeyman
The Guinness Book of World Records sent an official observer and recorded it as a record. The record was for a production EV with standard equipment. That record has since been broken in a Tesla Model S. I worked for Simon at the time and it was fascinating to watch the logistics of driving an EV across Australia from north to south come together including a massive generator to charge the car every day. It really is possible to determine the diesel equivalent mileage of an EV when you pour the diesel into the generator every day.
