Separate names with a comma.
I think we will see a point of competition over battery warranties between manufactureres of ecars, similar to overall initial "bumper to bumper"...
If you can you should check how far you can drive that baby on a fully charged battery. Run a couple of cycles. If you are close to the advertised...
Not to be picky, but your current consumption is always measured in kW. It will only be equal to the same number of kWh if you use the same amount...
Nice fun topic! I am amazed at the number of comments. Have a nice day - enjoy life. Drive carefully!
Never say never!
This is all nice, but what about earlier news/warning that fast charging is hard on the batteries? Having a break every hour and a half (100...
I can't how a 'slow tow' say 30-50 km/h (similar to controlled downhill rolling) would do any harm. Also, we are all learning at this point - so...
No, towing is not recommended according to the manual. If your battery is dead and have no juice handy you will have to pay for a flatbed towing...
Good job! And it seems from the picture that you even have some change left over! Excellent! :D

You must mean two phases, not two circuits. Also, the power you take off the panel would need to use a set of 'ganged' 15 A breakers. They need to...
Enjoy your little side business. Hope you have some IP protection (i.e. trade mark?) on it. If so, maybe you can sell the whole idea and get...
I find this discussion very interesting. When we made electronic test sets in the 80's all our power supplies were rated 90V to 260V AC. Must...
Good show! Just out of curiosity, why did you pick a 240V 20 Amp plug? If the Nissan unit limits the load to 12 Amps as you say, could you not...
As I said in other threads; electric cars are fine even within the limits of technology offered in today's offerings. However, one has to be very...
