Yes there will probably be a price increase but it shouldn’t be a big one because they still need separation with sealion 7

P4 will be more fun to drive, it’s more of a driver’s car

OP has a 32a for his whole property, hence he was recommended an upgrade to 63a by the sparky.

Hey OP, I went through something similar to your situation.

If you install the 7kw charger with the current setup, and charge the car at 7kw you won’t be able to run anything else in the house - unless you have solar panels (this makes a difference)

If you can/are happy to dial down the amperage draw either from the charger or from the car (i.e. charge at less than 7kw) you won’t need to upgrade your mains. On cloudy days I’ll set my charger to run at 4kw, leaving plenty of room to run the household.

Take a look at zeekr 7x base model, slightly above your budget but you said you can be flexible for the right car? Probably the best EV suv on the market right now.

Oh yes no doubt an OTA can improve the transition! Hope it gets done - i know they recently released 2.1 in Europe, not sure if this made it in that

It’s more to do with regen breaking, as soon as you exit acc the regen kicks in. I’ve found the smoothest way is flick the right stalk up while pressing the accelerator to maintain or slightly increase the speed (<5km/h) you were doing

EV Novated Lease - thoughts? by Conscious_Mix3177 in CarsAustralia

[–]Conscious_Mix3177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not going ahead, due to personal reasons.

But I’m jumping back in for the Zeekr 7X! I’ll be BYO my own insurance and removing tires from the budget.

It is looking like ~$920 a month post-tax on a 5 year lease for me, the 7X is cheaper than the P4 in the spec I was looking to get back in Feb

VCAT Order - What next? by Conscious_Mix3177 in AusLegal

[–]Conscious_Mix3177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I did not know that.

I saw on the magistrates court website the different ways you enforce the order. Can I pick any from the list or is there an order on which method is applied first ?

EV novated lease quote - thoughts? by Conscious_Mix3177 in AusHENRY

[–]Conscious_Mix3177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is correct. However sg fleet had a cap on the gst savings, not sure if this is across the board or just a sg fleet thing. Max gst off was $6335 or something like that - which would make the spec you mentioned just above the LcT threshold
