    • Thx this EVSE cable or the MIDA?

      • +1

        I honestly don't know. I've got the ultipower MIDA cable, bought it during their black friday sale, but I've never used it. It seems fine, feels solid enough… The one charger we went to use it on was faulty (not our cable) and the next town had chargers with cables attached. There is a 22kw charger in my local shops that is BYO cable. I'll go test it out and see how it goes…

    • Where is the coupon?
      I am seeing that it's discounted $10 down to $215.50 and delivery is $5 bringing the price to $220.50 shipped.

      • Looks like it’s gone now. It was listed next to the price.

      • +30

        Then imagine an ICE car with a ton of wear on motor components and the need to constantly replace oil, sparkplugs, seals… oh wait…

            @alvian: It’s interesting to see how people change over time, my friend bought a Tesla 3 in 2019 and I made fun of him even though loved the instant torque. He said my time will come and here in 2023 I wait to pick up my ev. All I can say is you guys will come around. Just a matter of time. It’s no brainer but commonsense ain’t so common and humans in General are very hesitant to change

            • @sputmayer: I have no problem with EVs. My next car will more likely be an EV than an ICE car. However, pointing out and discussing technological deficiencies does not equal disapproval or dislike of the technology.

              • @alvian: Agreed on calling out the issues. Should be the same for EV and ICE though. It just happens to be challenging for us to see the issues with ICE because we normalized them as normal maintenance. Until we get more experience with modern EVs it will be hard to really call out what ICE was doing worse.
                Also would prefer EV as one of my next cars but do not see it happening yet economically… after all, this is OzBargain :-D

              • -1

                @alvian: ICEs also have batteries that last much less. EVs are more advanced than ICEs. However, the tech is advancing so fast that I'm reluctant to spend >$30k (on BYD Seagull or similar priced, when it comes in AU, $18K in Thailand) when the next couple of years there will be much better value for money options & the current $60k EV will be equivalent of $30k, so I will have 2 EVs for the same price of current trendy EV ;)

          • @alvian: True about the batteries but I think it is a massively overrated scare. Most of them do not lose more than 10-15% in a few years. While ICE does not lose as much it also happens that an old engine uses a bit more fuel as it wears out a bit.
            BTW I was mainly pointung out to wear of the supplemental bits on modern engines. Plastic and rubber pieces that route oil and coolant. EV has some, of course, but substantially less. It does not make EV the better choice universally. I was just pointing out that those thinking that EV is universally bad choice either did not invest the time to confirm that or are intentionally campaining against them.
            Also… most Aussies don't service to schedule…

              @goodwillN1: We can get electricity from the sun and the country's natural resources. Much better than relying on dodgy countries for petrol that needs to shipped from the other side of the world.

            • +1

              @goodwillN1: Well, given that that most charging stations provide the cable and this is intended for higher rate charging at home and maybe to take with you on holiday and/or for when a charging station has wear on its own cables, it's a bit of a bargain.

              We paid about $300 for ours 3 years ago and have not been to a servo since. Which, well, is a bit of a win.

              (EV savings really, really kick in with home charging if you can do it. And in our case, we have a carport, so we wanted a weather proof solution - the trickle chargers aren't great, whereas IP54 is excellent)

              And on the comment re: batteries. We are about 3.5 years into car life (Ioniq), and have lost somewhere around 1-2% range. Loss rate is higher on older gen LEAFs (2%/year on the 170km models), but most more recent cars are doing much better by all accounts. And by comparison, our wheezy 20 year old holden could get about 70% of as new mileage on the open road and was struggling to get 50% on city driving - effective range loss applies to ICEs as well as battery. You either need rebore/recondition or battery replacement. Not a differentiator between them (and upkeep on the old holden was horrific - between $1 and 2k/year in addition to fuel).

            @alvian:

            Engines don't "wear out" if they are properly designed, maintained, and used within specs.

            We have a comedian.

    • +4

      Yeah, imagine a world where paid optional extras were a thing car companies offered… oh wait.

      You don't need this cable for the majority of chargers, but it does open up a few more options, depending on the chargers around you.
      Majority of EV owners won't need/use this.

      • Imagine a world where you've convinced yourself optional extras are normal just so you can defend your purchase.

        You don't have jerry cans?

        • +1

          LoL how many jerry cans and how many hours will it take to fuel up your car that way? It takes 30sec to stick the charger in your EV and let it does it’s thing while you sleep.

      • Imagine recharging your EV in 3 minutes and drive away full. Imagine topping up your EV from a jerry can when there isn't a charging point near you.

          Imagine running on an energy source with more than 20% efficiency.

          • +2

            @smartazz104: Imagine no more.

            Albatayneh et al: Comparison of the Overall Energy Efficiency for Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles and Electric Vehicles Environmental and Climate Technologies 24(1):669-680 (October 2020)

            The total well-to-wheel (WTW) efficiency of gasoline ICEV ranges between 11-27 %, diesel ICEV ranges from 25 % to 37 % and CNGV ranges from 12 % to 22 %. The EV fed by a natural gas power plant shows the highest WTW efficiency which ranges from 13 % to 31 %. While the EV supplied by coal-fired and diesel power plants have approximately the same WTW efficiency ranging between 13 % to 27 % and 12 % to 25 %, respectively. If renewable energy is used, the losses will drop significantly and the overall efficiency for electric cars will be around 40-70 % depending on the source and the location of the renewable energy systems.

        • I want to live in that world. But thats not a reality.

          I love my current EV but only because I'm understanding of the lifestyle it comes with. It's kind of a joke to expect consumers to jump through all this stuff, imagine educating oldies on what a USB-C is let alone 15A/32A plugs etc.

    • you pay for it everytime you fill up
      This plug is optional and only needed at a very select few charging stations

      95% of stations have their own plug
      Maybe do some more reading instead of putting up such an ignorant comment

    There are a few on ebay for about $140ish https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/294976403867. Same TUV, CE certifications (a good sign but not sufficient for use in Australia). Doesn't have RCM (required for use in Australia) https://www.eess.gov.au/rcm/regulatory-compliance-mark-rcm-g…. (Some of the other $140ish cables don't state electrical certifications)

    Forgetting the whole "you can't compare some random ebay business vs a real store" (both are tiny businesses, at least I can see 10k positive feedback on ebay) I can't see a huge difference between this deal and that ebay listing. What am I missing?

    • These specific kind of cables are essentially a glorified extension lead, there's no internal circuitry or anything that would make a certification useful (although it is good peace of mind).

      I'd be a bit more concerned about a plugin charger since the safety circuits, contactors etc are fully integrated and thus become a critical safety issue for things like use in the rain, but hopefully any circuit you plug one into already has an RCD at a minimum.

  • Bought it last year for $224.10 shipped from Evse.

      Have prices gone up that much now?

  • +2

    I've had my EV for a couple of weeks now and have at home charging. All the public chargers i've been to so far have their own plug.. are there really that many public chargers which dont have a CCS 2 plug? Is it a necessity to carry one of these around?

    • +4

      If you haven't seen one then prob no need for you. The public AC ones closest to me require bring your own cable so that's why I have one.
      If you go to a DC charger these will be tethered so you won't need one.

    • +5

      All CCS2 chargers are tethered. This is a type 2 cable, which is used for AC charging.

      I have one in both of my EV's. I consider them cheap insurance. Has saved my butt at least once.

    • +2

      Most public DC (fast) chargers have CCS2 or CHAdeMO cables built in. However the vast majority of public AC chargers (which are much more commonly available (compared to DC) especially in metro areas) don't have tethered Type 2 cables and thus you need to BYO

      For the older of my two EV's I've used DC fast charging (CCS2) once in 4 months (and that was just to try it), but I've used AC charging (and my Type 2 cable) probably at least a few dozen times (I'm not charging at home so I'm basically just doing AC top ups whenever convenient - e.g. when at the shops, gym or office). If you're always charging at home and don't travel much (e.g. staying at places with destination AC chargers) then you may not need it

      Note also there are different Type 2 cables (e.g. single phase and three phase, 16A and 32A) - many (less expensive) EV's only support a max AC charging rate of 7kW anyway (so could technically get away with a cheaper single phase 32A cable) however you're probably better off future proofing yourself with a 32A 3-phase cable (so it can support 7kW, 11kW and 22kW charging use)

    • Is it a necessity to carry one of these around?

      Not really, unless you're doing very long distance rides and intend to use AC charging that needs a type 2 cable and nothing else is available. I've never needed one.

    • like everyone said above, you may confused with AC and DC chargers. most AC don't have cables whereas all DC have cables.

  • +1

    Thx.Good price.

    Just worth checking - Is this limited to 11kw on model y and 3 like the one Tesla sells? https://shop.tesla.com/en_au/product/mennekes-type-2-adapter…

    Also just speaking from experience 5 m sounds like a lot but if you can get more i’d recommend it.

    • Car limitation, both can theoretically go 22kw, not that many cars that have that exist

    • Cable can reach 22 kW, Model Y and 3 can only reach 11kW. From memory, it is Model S and X that go higher. The blue 22kW cable that Tesla sells is very similar to this one, just that it is 7m long. If you need 7m, go for the Tesla one. If you only need 5m, go for this one.

      5m is enough if the AC charger is near your car. But if you have to charge from the spot next to the charger because another car has its charging port in a different location, then 7m will be required.

  • are they different from the one sold on telsa website for 310?

    • Yeah. 2.5m longer

  • +1

    I've thought about buying one of these but I have never needed one in the last 16months of EV ownership. There's only one charger I'm aware of that needs this cable.

    • if you don't need it, don't buy it. that simple.

      • yes, that's my entire point

  • I got this cable a few months back - good cable, no complaints, get free fuel (charge) at shopping centre etc.
    Not sure if worth if if you have solar and can charge for free at home. Will pay off if the standards don't change and have for the long term.

    • +1

      its more about NOT having one in hand when you need one.. say for eg. regional trips. less stress since you have more charging options when you are out and about.

      • Not sure about other states but in WA for regional trips these is a new DC charging network where you can typically charge in 15 to 20 minutes. These high speed DC chargers have the cables with the charger.

        This cable is for AC charging and the maximum with a EV like a Tesla would be 11kW. That may take 6 hours to charge your car.

        • +1

          I'm in VIC and there are a lot more ac charging options here than in WA as per plugshare. I've also just bought one of these cables and have not used it so far but for the year or so I've owned my Y I've had a couple of 'inconveniences' during regional trips cos of not having this cable. Not anymore :)
          6 hours is not typical as it won't be 0% when you start charging and you won't need it to be 100% to stop charging. So typically I'd say in 2hours charge you would be good to go with an approx 35% top up (approx 125km).

  • +1

    Is it just me or is it crazy that you have to byo cable to a charging station? Is this normal in other countries too?

    • its not crazy as we aussies are known for vandalism, hence byo cable.

      • +2

        That's why we can't have nice things

    • Most chargers don't require BYO, only a few public AC chargers require it.
      These are paid for and installed by the venue/store/centre, so they can choose to install various brands and types of chargers.
      The rapid chargers have their own cables, a lot of them are water-cooled.

      One of the biggest misconceptions is you only use public chargers with EVs, whereas most people just charge at home the majority of the time, it's cheaper and more convenient.

      • Most chargers (at least in VIC) that are not Tesla's or Evie's require a BYO cable. Charging at home is still the best option but it defeats the life mission of an ozbargainer because you know you can get it for free even if you have to drive a distance to get it.

  • got inchargeX cable for $207 from prime day deal (RRP $259)
