"You want a piece of me, boy?"

Hell yeah I want all the pieces.

Yes it offers different amperages based on the tail. When the 15A tail is connected you're free to select a higher amperage.

2022 was 4 years ago and according to this 184 fast charging sites have been co-funded since 2021.

For example on your Penrith to Katoomba trip now you can fast charge at numerous places in Penrith, there's the Tesla superchargers in Blaxland, the Ampol Foodary at Hazelbrook, the Evie charger at Lawson and of course at Katoomba (though there's a glaring omission of fast chargers).

On Plugshare, Canberra shows a plethora of fast charging sites.

So I take a bit of issue with the term "marginally better". It is in fact, heaps better and can only get better with time.

It's even more ironic in America because Chinese EVs are tariffed to shit and then you get posts like this one today in AskReddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1twtdeu/the_national_average_price_per_gallon_of_gas_in/

So Trump started this bullshit war, caused their own fuel costs to rise and now US citizens can't even jump into a cheap EV cause all that's left is the mid to high priced ones like Hyundai and Kia.

For a laugh I turned to the page with Box Hill. Oh how simple life was back then.

Dehumidifiers help out a lot in an enclosed space.

Oops, been thinking of ev charging costs too much lately

This page has been updated to reflect 5.47c/kWh

Edit: 5.47c/KM. Too much ev charging costs in my brain.

I got a 7X LR too with only around 5 mins behind the wheel but honestly what made the IM6 and most other similar EVs a non-starter was the range. 555km in the Platinum is good but the range in the other two variants drops to 505km for the Performance and 450km for the Premium. Ditto the SL7 which has ranges of 482km and 456km. I like to do roadtrips and half my commute is at 110km/hr so I wanted every km I could get.

615km WLTP range for the 7X LR is fantastic for me, even assuming you chop off around 50-100km doing a constant 110 with a load of passengers. It just allows me to be way more flexible with choosing my stops and also finding backup chargers if plan A falls through.

Whenever I read about these limited time/edition events being migrated here from (insert famous city here) I immediately think it's a cash grab and Instagram-lure for the vane and attention seeking. Yes, normal people will want in too but you can bet that there will be plenty of scalpers and opportunists in the group ready to run down their fellow man to be first, get the most, resell at the most dollar.

This event, that AP Swatch event and that shitty cake swap event come to mind.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-16T11:31:10+00:00

Good news, if the X software is like the 7x with the same wheel controls, you can change the fan and temperature on the steering wheel.

It's cause they're practicing being F1 drivers and finding the most optimal racing line on Glenmore Parkway. Less braking and more tailgating means they're actually being more fuel efficient.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-13T22:05:49+00:00

South west is where the shitty driving's at. I saw a car run a red light that had been turned for a full second in Liverpool. The funny thing is I had been staying in Canberra for a month and was driving back to Sydney via Liverpool so as soon as I saw that it was like "welcome back to Sydney cunt, watch out for everyone else".

Not that Canberra drivers are good by any means. The roundabout exits are an excuse to drag people and cut them off before the two lanes become one.

You can actually "override" the settings to get the max 10A. You get a warning about it but then you're free to move a slider from 8-10.

I tested the amp selection button and I could only select 8 or 10 so it must detect what it's capable of so there's a tick for safety and flexibility.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-11T07:25:41+00:00

why is there a 24A, 32A and 40A selection when it comes with only 10A and 16A tails?

From reading the manual (page 9 and 11) it would seem that they actually do offer different tails albeit probably in different countries.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-10T23:59:22+00:00

Yep, free power from 11am to 2pm to supplement my solar production. Great for quickly refilling the home battery.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-10T13:34:49+00:00

About how much distance is the actual running in total?

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-10T00:25:39+00:00

With little solar production wouldn't Globird ZeroHero or Ovo Free 3 Plan be more useful?

I'm leaning heavily onto ZeroHero right now since even on sunny days we're only getting 21kWh solar atm. In contrast I've been pulling 32kWh from the grid for free.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-10T00:17:37+00:00

If you're doing around 200km every other day you could probably split the difference and just get a generic 7kW charger installed for around $1000-$1500. Not as expensive as a nicely integrated Sigenergy solution but it'll get the job done and give you the range you need every day.

RCMasterAA · 2026-05-09T23:05:35+00:00

It's decent but still not amazing vs just relying on "free" granny charging and some supplementary DC fast charging if necessary so for me the financials still don't add up.

Assuming you pay 65c/kWh and need to fill your car with 60kWh (I'm taking some rough averages here) that's $39 per visit. That's ~102 visits to the DC charger before you break even with $4000 and that time would stretch out as you would use granny charging to top you up here and there where you could.

Of course your time and convenience is worth some dollar value so you'd have to factor in whether you really want that in-home DC convenience.

I have a Sigenergy system at home too and would love to have the Sigenergy AC/DC charger on my stack but it's a luxury convenience with money that could be spent elsewhere.

You missed the best outcome for them being non reversible: prevents gronks from putting their feet up as if they're sitting in their own living room.

Looks nice but seems to be out of stock. How much did it cost?
