    I am really impressed that there were fast chargers in so many places 5 years ago!

      Yeah, the network was started by a guy who wanted to drive his EV from Auckland to Wellington and back.

    Epic. Good to have a kiwi perspective. Keep up the good work.

    Good job. That was very nice seeing your country. I'm in the northern hemisphere,so no skiing for us right now. I'm using my air conditioner in my leaf every day all day.

    Awesome video man, now I just need to take some skiing lesson before I try this.:)

      Thanks, if you live in a city with an indoor ski field, do a lesson there.

    Hi Darryl, great video. I am looking at getting a leaf for a daily commute of 72 km each way. Couple of things. How does it handle traffic conditions, and is there a big difference between driving at 100kmph and driving at 90kmph? Finally, about how much extra do you think it has added to your monthly power bill?

    Thanks for the info. I suppose I'll need to think about what i really want to use the EV for.

    Thanks, now I have seen this no way I would buy a 24kw model for NZ use, great to see NZ videos BTW.

    I picked up my Leaf yesterday, same colour and everything but a 24kWh, I would hate to think how many times I would have to charge :)

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  7 лет назад

      Yeah, not much more, I was playing safe by charging every point I could. But next time I will skip Turangi (x2) and charge where I stay (x3) eliminating 5 charges.

      +John Mellows I like the grey colour the most. Have fun driving.

    So, you were heading to Mangaweka, and only had 4km to go. Traditionally, running out of fuel in a petrol car would have required a walk to a petrol station to buy 5ltr of petrol. Not a problem.
    If the Leaf hadn't quite made it to the charging station in Mangaweka, what would you plan 'B' have been?

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  6 лет назад +3

      My car insurance includes roadside breakdown service which includes running out of petrol or electricity. They would tow or truck the car. I had 8%, might have got 10 to 15 km further.

    So what is that little key tag on your car key? Do you have to have that tag so you can charge your car?

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  3 года назад

      Yes, RFID for charger network.

  • @philholloway5272
    @philholloway5272 4 года назад

    Why dont you recharge to 100 % ???

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  4 года назад

      All the fast chargers are programmed to stop at 80%by default, but you can charge to about 95%, because they charge very quickly while the battery is at a low state of charge, as the battery gets near full, the charge speed slows down. Much like pouring a jug of water into glass, you can pour it in quickly while it is near empty, but when it is near full you have to be slow and careful. The chargers bill by power delivered and by time, so when the battery is near full, it cost as much for the top 20% as it does for the first 60%. In short, it's not good value for money and it is not fast to full the car to near 100%.

    LOL, stress! and at each stop there is only 1 quick charger? what do you do if its broken?

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  6 лет назад

      I check the app and plan my route around the failed charger, which has never happened. They are starting to double up the chargers in some locations, also putting chargers between other chargers. I feel that the network will grow to keep up with demand, of course the majority of people don’t need fast chargers for daily use.

    Do around world on one charge

    Are the rapid chargers in NZ DC only?

    • @DarrylTalks
      @DarrylTalks  6 лет назад

      There are some AC chargers. The government has indicated that CCS type 2 and CHAdeMO are the preferred fast charger types, but many of them have 3 attached charge cables, or are also fitted with a 22kW AC port. They support 44kW AC in most cases. But while you can drive DC capable cars almost everywhere in the country, you will get stuck if you have an AC only fast charging car, like a Renault Zoe. Lastly, type-2 bring your own cable chargers are in quite a few places, some of them support 22kW or 11kW charging, three phase.
