A few of the LED bulbs I have must not have any AC filtering in them as they flicker with every AC variation. For instance, when our clothes...
Incorrect in this case. The OEM charger takes about 13.5kWh to charge the car when supplied with 120V (L1) and the same charger takes only...
Last update regarding charging efficiency. Running the OEM at L2, but with the car limited to 8A max takes about 11.8kWh to fully charge the...
I have a red prime xle and my thoughts are mixed. Fortunately, you are rarely in a position to see both red colors at the same time. I do like...
I have an Emporia Vue 2 that I flashed with ESPHome doing the measuring. I was careful to get everything calibrated properly before I started...
To follow up on this some more, I converted the OEM charger to L2, and now it takes about 11.3kWh to completely charge the car. For reference, it...
Just out of curiosity, are those rims the same width as the stock 17" rims? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to replacing rims and properly...
I've done something similar to this using a Sonoff plug connected to Home Assistant. The convenience and data were great. Unfortunately, I...
As another data point, last night I charged (again from 0% to full) using the same set up, but also inserted a Kill A Watt into the chain to see...
Wow. I never expected there would be that much loss with a L1 charger. Do you think powering the same Toyota charger with 240V would increase...
So, what portion of the 13.6kWh is specifically reserved for HV use? The other possibility is the calibration on my plug is off. I need to get a...
Yes, there are losses in the charge process, but I suspect the true capacity of the entire battery is more than 13.6kWh. I'd love to know how...
For what it's worth, I use a smart plug to monitor energy usage on the outlet the lvl 1 charger is plugged into. With an "empty" battery, it...
Yes, that's why I put Tasmota on because that keeps everything local. As you say, it's a few more hoops, but I'd prefer to be the sole reason for...
The process is not for the faint of heart, but can make for a fun project if you like to tinker. I use a Sonoff S31 smart plug which can also...

Perfect! As long as Toyota matched the relay to the fuse sizing, I don't think there would ever be an issue. Thank you for looking that up.
I finally had a few free moments to take an amperage measurement on the stock horn. At 13.1V, it pulls about 3.4 amps. By comparison, the Lexus...
One of the new horns comes with a bracket that is longer that stock. When mounted, the mouth of the horn was a bit too close to the foam bumper...
