    Will they let me in if I rock up in an electric Vespa?

    • Arsenal on 27/04/2023 - 13:22

      As long as it is registered with the government as a full EV and you pay the $50 for the ticket, i can't see why not.

      Oh wait I already have a Segway Max G30, that should do.

    • Arsenal on 27/04/2023 - 13:21

      Good call. It'll have to be Polestar though if you want a free ticket. Otherwise you could rent any EV for the night for the Evee free ticket referenced here. Looks like there are a few Tesla Model 3s around Sydney available for $180 if you want to go that route.

    • I like freestuff on 27/04/2023 - 15:09

      It is almost as if the event is for people who already have an EV or as an extra in to hire one to trial it.

    Scooter?

  • spackbace on 27/04/2023 - 13:16

    I wonder how many owners will have the car on, resulting in their lights bugging everyone

    EV's still have a 12V battery or no? So just running the radio will be draining the main battery?

    • Jonzay on 27/04/2023 - 13:18
      +7

      If the car can drive hundreds of kilometres on its battery, I'm sure it'll be fine running the radio for a few hours.

      • werdnum on 27/04/2023 - 19:56

        It actually depends. EVs usually have a 12V/auxiliary battery in addition to the high voltage 400V main battery - generally a pretty small one. Some EVs are better than others at managing the charge of the 12V battery - but I have in fact managed to drain the 12V battery by leaving the car parked with something running off the 12V outlet. It was so frustrating because all I needed was enough power to turn on the electronics in the car enough for the car to turn on the DC-DC converter to charge the 12V battery from the main battery.

        • Remorhaz on 04/05/2023 - 22:06
          +1

          I just went to the first movie night - I was wondering how the battery power was going to go (I've only had an EV for 6 weeks) - but it definitely wasn't a problem (for me or anyone else it seems - everyone just drove off when the movie finished)

          You leave your car "On" so you can still use your cars sound system, climate control, heating, and so on (the movie audio played via an app on your phone connected to the car's entertainment system)

          So even with 3 hours of having the car "on" just sitting there with the climate control, entertainment system on (and even the dash in my car) and so on (you manually switch your headlights off of course) it only used perhaps 2% of my cars main battery over the 3 hours

    • I like freestuff on 27/04/2023 - 15:10

      About the same number as at a normal drive in outdoor cinema? There is no difference in that regard.

      Ah yes, this could turn into a potential shit show.

        And he basically explained why you are much better off with a solar panel and battery set up for your house ,
        then getting an ev ,
        makes sense in an ecological argument .

        If you’re using the grid presently for charging then you are mostly running on coal power ,
        and John the Bogan comparing a small ev to a duel cab ute CO2 emitted just because they weigh the same doesn’t make sense either ,
        if you compare a civic to a leafs CO2 emissions over ten years I think it would surprise you if the leafs battery was still viable by the time it actually used lessCO2 than a similar sized ice vehicle .

        Don’t get me wrong ,
        Im all for less greenhouse gas.
        But I’m for real solutions to the problem.
        Like large solar , wind , tidal and geothermal farms .
        Pumped hydro and more of the newest tech batteries
        And getting rid of coal mines that emit more methane each , than some European countries.

        Driving a Tesla does f-all and close to nothing except give elon huge US govt subsidies so he can play with his kerosene powered rockets .

    Not going to lie - if I had paid anything to be here I would be complaining and getting a refund! Between the rave concert thing happening downstairs, the terrible quality audio and just overall unimpressive experience I can’t imagine anyone happily paid to be here.

    I am impressed by the owner of an older car (not sure what type) that is clearly not an EV but has the EV on the rego plate so I’m guessing that’s how it got in… surely a fellow ozbargainer?

        Everything was good last night, but the 30MB audio track for a 90min movie was unsurprisingly poor quality. Have sent feedback that they should allow a far higher bit rate download (in the range of 10-50x what they had).
