I've been told the new MY17 model, released March this year will have fast charge CHAdeMO as standard going forward.

Fast charging is currently free here too and with free parking you can charge up and save at the same time in downtown Auckland locations. Makes it all worth while. I wouldn't stop for 40mins just to charge, that's senseless, I would park and charge and know on my return wouldn't have to pay...

Absolutely, The dealers over here have no idea, had a good chat with them yesterday and they make me laugh. I said if the option for fast charging was added then id by one. There comment "there isn't any infrastructure in Auckland for fast charging" so I tell them that Vector (grid supplier)...

And what was your MPG after all that driving?

I contacted MMNZ about fast charging and the network that Vector is deploying to allow fast charging at various locations around the place and the fact that EU models already have fast charge. Response was: Sorry, we didn't know Vector had developed a fast charging network. We have no plans to...

Cheap Chinese LEDs and 2 years in, no problems at all.

These turn off when the headlights are on, however every chav in NZ has added a set of DRL's and run around all day and night with them on. We haven't even got emissions testing yet for our MOT equivalent...... Clean green NOT
