@jnsaff do you mind giving an update on the plan now demand has been quantified somewhat?

It seems like quantity is around 75 packs now, surely this is enough to open a conversation? I can't see it growing by an order of magnitude, and it's unclear what the target is here...

[TFirenza]

a little late but if this is still open I'm considering 24 or 30 modules, need to check some dimensions

I updated the totals, we're at 84 packs now. Kevin Sharpe has the contact and I have no other indication about what is the optimal amount than 'shipping containers'. I added the weight number to the totals and 9.5T is getting there, volume wise it may well be over but I don't know where they come from nor how they will be packed.

[cloudy]

I guess if we take a conservative estimate of an assembled pack of 1m x 0.4m x 0.4m (with almost zero packing) - around 14m3 for 84 packs

10' container is 16m3 and 13.6 tonnes according to my google-fu, I'd say we've pretty easily filled that?

[jap]

Is there an established schedule for the buy? Where is the container going to be delivered?

[36320e]

I would commit to 12. 18kw

[adamover]

Hi I am new here please put my down for 12
Any expected time scale and where the funds have to go ?

[arber333]

Hi again. Is there a chance to update my count?
A friend would like to join in with another 24 module pack. I will get them in his name.
Same conditions apply as for mine. So i am in for 48 modules together.

tnx

[jap]

I guess I could commit to a single pack of six modules, if I can come and pick it up myself from Tallinn. If someone might offer some further details about this deal I would be interested in more..

[BMW2002]

Can you put me down for 24 modules. Tnx

[mackoffgrid]

Are there any Australians or Kiwis interested in this deal?

Or has the available stocks already been consumed?

In my ignorance, I am assuming that shipping/customs/tax etc would make it prohibitively expensive to get a set to me here in Australia. But if we can work out economical shipping etc. I'd be interested in 24 modules, i.e. a 36kWh lot.

[mjw700]

Please put me down for 12 modules.

One way or another I'll most likely will be importing batteries from somewhere, and soon, whether that will be Leafs or BMW or LTO.
I'll be looking at 36kW also, maybe more. Importing seems to cost between $2000 to $3000 AUD where the actual freight / transport component is relatively minor. And there is GST as well .

Cheers

i am one of the Australians, i have put my order in already.

Kiwi here. Have already registered my interest. Would there be a shipping advantage if shared with the Aussies?

[rstevens81]

Silly question time
And probably getting ahead of myself fought up with with fine details

Assuming we are successful .... Since some these batteries are not all going to be 96s out of the box as I expect they will be made up of for example BMW 330e which are only 5 modules each could I ask the following :

im assuming that the 5 modules packs would be kept as is ?
the extra module would be loose?
if in my case i have put down for 12 that would be 2 x 5 module packs, would we be trying keep the loose modules from the same (3rd) pack?
Could we have the option [depending on availability] to buy in my case lets say 15 modules instead of 12? [so i could either run 112s2p (plus spare) or 80s3p]

it doesn't really effect anything just curious really.

NOTE: Edited as old question was a little off

Perhaps not, but It's worth me asking a freight agent

[Antoncott]

if this is stiil an ongoing concern i would be up for 66 modules (99kwh).. at that price anyway..
thanks

[bexander]

If this still is open I'm up for 6 modules.

[ted.walsh]

Ill take 12 if its still on?
