Similar to previous deal however now with the option to purchase the charger as a standalone unit rather than an install bundle.
Apparently has better solar integration for non-tesla charging compared to a tesla gen 3 charger.

Yep, now the Chinese manufacturing beast is engaged in earnest, prices of everything EV will drop massively. Everything has been relatively small scale and western developed/engineered until the last few years. Now EV makes up 50% of car sales in china, expect things to get CHEAP fast.
end of financial year might be playing a part.
Wish we could install their V2G solution, would be a game changer for EV adoption
You need the additional energy meter for solar optimisation. I believe this is included when you add solar optimisation option to the installation bundle .
Ev chargers are quite expensive!!
Is this right?
Agl EV plan is $0.08c/kWh for midnight to 6am charging. A full tank on a Tesla Y battery (75kWh) takes about 2 days (11hrs required) to fully charge
A full tank costs $6, from 0% to 100% which in turn provides ~500km.
So
$1850 install is the equivalent to 308 full tanks or
154k kms?So depending on how much you use/drive the car, it doesn't make much sense and is purely a convenience thing, and lastly, solar only charging sounds like a real headache depending on kms driven?
So for low km drivers which would work real well with solar only charging, sounds like a complete waste of money??
With this 3 phase charger it should charge from empty to full in 2wd in 5h and AWD in 7h. 1 phase would be 8h and 10h.
Charging from 20-80% in the 3h for the AWD version.
You would only get the charger if you were doing more than 150km a day otherwise a 15amp outlet would be more than sufficient and a DC charger at the higher price would make more sense the rest of the time.
Most people I have met just use the slow 10amp charger which meets 90% of their needs.
3 days to charge off a 10A outlet may not be fast enough for so some people in some situations. At a minimum you will generally want the flexibility of having at least 32A circuit installed (assuming single phase) to allow you to push ~7kW at home. This really should be considered part of the sunk cost of buying your first EV.
If not relying on Solar and just rely on a special EV time of use plan, you don't need a smart charger. Any old dumb charger or even a bog standard 32A outlet will suffice, and the charging time can be set on/off by the cars OS/App. The basic setup will still cost around $1k so the comparison should really be the price premium of a smart charger vs a basic setup.
The real advantage of smart chargers is to maximise harvesting surplus from your PV into your car rather than letting it go the grid for a measly 4.9c feed-in tariff. This can easily 'pay' for itself in maybe a year considering each kWh you keep for yourself to drive means one less kWh you have to buy from the grid. It's for people who commute by train and leave their car at home during the day when PV is cranking surplus like no tomorrow.
Seems like everything EV is clearance atm
