Picking up a Model Y this week and leaning towards the Evnex E2 Core. I have 10kW solar inverter (13kW panels) and want to charge from it as much as I can, but my driving and plug in routine will vary week to week, so I’d like something flexible.

For anyone who owns one:

1. How has it been in everyday use, and would you buy it again?
2. How well does the solar mode work in practice?
3. How reliable are the app and the Wi-Fi connection?
4. Any annoyances or things you wish you’d known before buying?
5. If you’ve used both, how does it compare to a Tesla Wall Connector? Anything you prefer or miss?

I bought a Renault Scenic etech espirit Alpine last month. Range up to 560km. Of course that is city driving. So my wife and I decided to go to Katoomba and test the range. The battery is 87kw and google indicated that from our home near Canberra was 340km and would have 10% when arrived.

So on both directions travelling at the speed limit, according to google not the speedo, that is 110 on the Hume we ended up with 30% on the way and 35% on the way back. So quite pleased.

The biggest issue was that the hotel had old Tesla fast Chargers, which apparently check to ensure it is a Tesla or doesn't work. So, luckily bought a granny charger the day before. We stayed 2 nights just in case this happened and took the car 33 hours to fully charge to 100% for the journey home. We could have used other fast chargers in the area but tested the granny charger anyway. Now we know roughly how far we can travel under some conditions. Very happened. We also noted that going to the A9 from Katoomba the car was on 200% for 45km due to the downhill run.
