@ryanjaycowan Test drove one on sat. Belter.

@sobieski902 What about Chinese vehicle makers with large fleets themselves?

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@robrobdean @HorizonPower_WA Fun fact - coordination of solar, battery, charger and backup generator is by @jetcharge core energy management system. A lot of testing on this one!!!

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@LudicrousFeed Do you reckon the federal government knows they are installing Chinese made chargers at our own Parliament house when there are two companies making them in Australia and didn't even get a chance to do it?

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@LudicrousFeed @Chargefox Lol 920A wtf

@BridieEV Seems like my brown model s is about to be vintage

@MatthewBevan 10/10 would laugh again

@itskyleconner @TeslaCharging Hey Kyle I think the US may belong to Tesla but not sure if you've seen the stations in China? They're pretty insane. I always struggle when people talk about monopolies but only have a short time period by which to assess the chances of it happening. This is a 50 year journey

@donnysmith @icreatelife Love this!

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@ringsau @cvanderstock @jetcharge Agree. But the only thing to keep in mind is that not every site is owned by the relevant charging network... So will be hard for some.

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@dwhes @cvanderstock @jetcharge Don't worry some are already here and many are coming. To what extent they are enforced though? We'll see.

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@blader Anything physical. Hardware will rule again.

@NickPfitzner @auspanda @bobbyllew @jetcharge Awww you should have just interrupted and said hi!

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@RahulPrasad74 @LudicrousFeed @CloverMoore Safety and insurance. But I will say one thing: it's the only way to make on street charging viable as a business case without government support IMO. Also, the problem will seem a LOT smaller once public charging infrastructure becomes ubiquitous and robust.

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@LudicrousFeed @CloverMoore More so here than in most cases because Council would be the one who has the insurance but the cost would probably be passed onto the house owner. Almost all scenarios fail because of this.

@therealfoodcafe @FOREVcharging What did you have there beforehand?

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@GlenneDrover The fact that it looks like a rising sun over a green field is just *chefs kiss* 👌

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@auto_schmidt Not sure what it's like in Europe but we stamped it out mostly a few years ago in Australia. Guess that's why it would be a big deal here.

[Tim Washington @EVTimOZ]

@auto_schmidt Wow that's a big call
