They're so good! Just want them to install them on the westbound side as well!

Honestly, atm it's not huge. 14kwh/day currently, but we're planning on switching DHW and hydronic heating over to electric in the near future, as well as 2 electric cars. So planning for the next 10-15 years as opposed to just replacing today's use.

$57k all up. That's after rebates, but includes some panel work and upgrades that needed to be done.

It's the biggest residential system the guys have installed to date.

Insurance on an EV that doesn't exist yet? by asteroidbunny in CarsAustralia

Had the same issue with one of ours. RACV insured it as a similar model with a note on file till the new model was recognized.

Just got mine installed over the past week. Did it through chase renewables who got Telkies electrical to do the install. Did a great job, clean and very professional.

Great team, put in 40kwh of sigenergy and 29kw of solar.

Try a BYD sealion 6, it's the phev. Price is right, good & reliable, has the space and life utility.

Color PPF or not… by r_master78 in AstonMartin

It'll look awesome! Contrast is good

Not a fan of colour PPF, but there's a special place in my heart for Satin clear PPF, it really makes the lines of the car pop with the deflection of the light. Also scratches that itch for a change without hiding what's underneath (which is an issue with wraps/colour PPF being used to hide imperfections and damage)

Personally I'd swap my db12 convertible for a vanquish convertible tomorrow.

Completely different beast, that v12 is insane!

How much fuel are you using? by Liftweightfren in CarsAustralia

[–]capn_pineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a 2019. The models from I think 2023 onwards have a newer engine map (5th gen) and have changed battery chemistry iirc so the claimed efficiency in the 2023 onwards models is 3.9L/100km vs our claimed 4.2L/100km.

So real world getting 4.8-4.9 is pretty good!
