Left Sarina at 7.23am. Most of our driving is at 60km/hr.
Sometimes we do the speed limit, in town and down hill! It really sucks when you have a really long steep downhill and you have to use the brakes
Arrived Carmila 8.30am
I had fitted a 3rd charger to T-Rev but hadn't finished the wiring, so after connecting EV Hilux and MGEV, I finished that off. Then got T-Rev charging. Also a number of people come off the street and want to talk. One fellow had alternator trouble in his Nissan (petrol) and a local had told him to come and see me (at the charge station). He said the local told him that I was the guru. I wouldn't say that, some things I dont know. Once I got stuck in Miriamvale. My phone went flat, so can't switch on the public charge outlet. Can't ring anyone. I wanted to change the SIM from phone to tablet. Didn't know how. I had to get someone on the street to help me change the SIM. The comment was, built 2 electric cars but cant change a SIM. The big joke of the day.
For the 139km from home to Carmila I had used 24.5kW plus 57Ah from T-Rev. MGEV took 40Ah. Total out of T-Rev was 97Ah. MGEV used about 55Ah from Sarina to Carmila.
Recorded 36.8kWkw and 2hrs 6 min from port A and 15.89kW and 2hrs 0min from port B Chargefox app. (The app that is is to turn on the charge outlet)
Time to hit the road the road again. 10.47am.
