I've been thinking about my recent "miles/kWh" tests and how they compare with my previous data for my commute with the big hill. The recent...
Last night, I did my highway test. I set the cruise at 55 mph and turned on the Hymotion switch. I went 24.37 miles before my Hymotion battery...
Yesterday, I tried a new experiment to determine the range (in EV mode) of my Hymotion battery on flat terrain, in a 30-mph speed zone. In the...
170-220 mpg? That's great! Figuring out the best strategies to optimize mileage is pretty complicated, but once you've got them figured out, it...
Yesterday, I accomplished something new with my Hymotion system. I made my usual 12-mile round trip to work and back. I got home at about 3:15...
Actually, the CARB update just forces a 1-minute engine warm-up when you first start the car. This doesn't really have anything to do with regen....
I had figured out a way to capture ALL of the regen on the way down the hill. Now, with the CARB update, I am no longer able to do that. It's a...

It was nice meeting you, too, Chris. It sounds like you're taking a much more sensible approach to the whole suspension thing. I know that I...
Here's my attempt at a calculation (with lots of simplifying assumptions to make the math easy): The assumptions: 1) Your commute is long...
Okay. If it wasn't already clear that I'm crazy, this should clear it up: Yesterday, I redefined the meaning of the term "hybrid car." I...
I've been trying to avoid making a lot of extra mods to my system. In most cases, the Hymotion system goes into EV mode when I want it to. Most...
They sent someone to my house (They've been really great about that. I live in the middle of nowhere.) to do diagnostics because of an error code...
Has anyone experienced the latest version of the Hymotion firmware? In this latest version, they have resolved the problem with the backup...
I purchased (by mail) a set of shocks and springs from The Green Car Company, in Seattle:...
Hi Chris, It was good meeting you at the Green Grand Prix. My reason for doing the suspension upgrade had nothing to do with improving my...
