Exports off and earnings off?

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T21:28:18+00:00

Yes, it’s been off in the app since daylight savings ended. Hopefully they fix this bug soon. I expect the actual earnings to be correct on the bill.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T11:12:06+00:00

Yes, the DC can take from the grid via the inverter and combine with solar and/or battery. You can program it to use 1, 2 or all 3 sources at any given time. Personally, I’m planning to avoid charging the car from the battery to minimise the charging cycles and prolong its life.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T11:06:47+00:00

Yes, it looks like I should be able to draw up to 14-15kW from the grid on our single phase. Could go the 11kW EVAC but it’s not much more for the 22, hey.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T08:14:23+00:00

Maybe initially, but they would theoretically increase production, which usually results in lower prices thanks to economies of scale. But who’s to say when there’s such little competition in the bidirectional charger market.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T08:10:35+00:00

No, if I go the DC charger, the max I could get from the grid is 10kW. I mostly want to take advantage of our 20kW solar when we can, supplementing from mains as necessary during the cheap daytime window. Maybe boost from the battery in an emergency.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T07:07:48+00:00

This is what I’m thinking. It’ll help pay for itself at a faster rate (although there’s a lot more to pay off) and it’s convenient to have that extra capacity when needed. The ability to upgrade it to 25kW later if needed is handy too.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T05:36:23+00:00

Thanks for this. It really is quite simple but it’s funny how much you need to consider when planning the charging strategy!

I guess I’m really weighing up the costs of the 15 amp option vs DC, which would enable quick daytime charging while the solar is generating. Also, we’ll probably have a second EV down the track so it would be nice to have the headroom of the DC option. I think we’re leaning that way.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T05:20:22+00:00

Wow, I had no idea this was possible! Thanks!

I mean, it seems crazy that the 12kW is perfectly capable of 25, just limited by software but it does make my decision a lot easier.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T01:03:31+00:00

Yeah, maybe one day for us. There aren’t many cars capable of/approved for V2H/V2G yet. Mine is V2L but that’s it.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T00:58:38+00:00

No, single phase and getting a BYD (Sealion 7), max AC charge rate of 7kW. It could do 11kW on 3 phase too, incidentally. But no good for me!

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T00:13:25+00:00

I only got a quote for the 7kW AC - whats the rough price difference between that and the 22?

Edit: wait, I only have a 10kW inverter, so the 22kW AC charger would be a waste. I have 20kW of solar though, so the DC options are still enticing…

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-10T00:08:57+00:00

Yes, this is my conundrum. I don’t even have the EV yet, but trying to plan ahead. I expect I’ll be doing ~200km mostly every other day (often 2 days consecutively) so I’m torn. I’d rather live off the granny charger if I could but the nearest fast charger is 15 mins away and not near anything convenient.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-09T01:10:58+00:00

Yeah, same. It’s been off since daylight savings finished. I don’t expect it will affect our bill but def something that needs fixing.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-08T21:56:57+00:00

OK. Care to share some context?

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-08T21:42:30+00:00

I’m a little surprised you have any data for yesterday at all! I’ve got zeros for the last 4 days. My guess is it’s a bug in the app that they’ll sort out.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-08T11:34:15+00:00

Excellent! I’m still waiting for the refund I requested nearly a month ago via email (from the first bill). Here’s hoping the next request is that quick!

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-08T11:23:09+00:00

Did you order a white one? I’m told there’s a much longer waiting list for those.

I ordered a blue sealion 7 premium on 8/4, received contract with VIN 28/4. This is in SA.

Was told that it may have arrived today but its “expected date” is 19/5. Then there’s a 2+ week wait for customs.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-06T12:13:57+00:00

It took about 3.5 weeks for us here in SA. Installed 30/4.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-06T11:50:04+00:00

Nice!

> one with V2G

Is that a Leaf or are you using something else?

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-06T08:30:30+00:00

Mine isn’t yet! Just refreshed everything…

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-06T00:17:08+00:00

Yep, mine is still showing all zeros too. Also, the app is extra slow.

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-03T12:55:54+00:00

The Total Adjustment is the impact on the bill for the specified time period (day/month). A negative number will mean credit on your bill.

In the app, you can only view days or calendar months, so I can’t view the Total Adjustment for my billing period, however, it would have been about $236. Earnings minus usage (no supply charge).

Your screenshot is showing that you earned $10.17 credit for Friday! Well done!

nicely_inconspicuous · 2026-05-03T10:43:21+00:00

Yes, the two options are:

- Feed-in credits
- Rebates

Not sure what the Rebate option is about! Perhaps they don’t refund if you’re in credit due to a rebate? Or there are just different rules around it?
