Grumpy, don't know how far your nearest nissan dealer is, but if they want to sell leafs they MUST have 2 fast chargers publicly available...
Yeah, google up aminorjourney for an exploding phev. it was a bms+ system which involves spoofing the SOC to get good performance from the mains...
5 hours sounds about right. with the couple of charges i've done the most i've seen is ~800 watts being drawn.
Unless it goes into storage with 8 bars (really full) or 0 bars (REALLY empty) this is a non-issue. the prius tries hard to keep 6 bars. maybe...
Yes, our weather has been so odd for the last two years there is definitely "something" going on and it's getting very difficult to ignore. I...
My supplier is 41% renewable, 32% natural gas, 20% coal and 4% nuclear (Our fuel mix - Ecotricity - building new green energy) UK averages are 47%...
Mine does it, since i have to go up a large hill with a 60mph limit within 100 metres of my driveway. Letting the engine warm up, and getting to...

Yes it's minus 8C today, and moving round large blocks of sharp metal is not such a good idea! I'm hoping to get a working BMS soon and then i'll...
The dealer may have reduced your tyre pressure. Mine did.
I had to google hot frog, never heard that term before! Just as an update, i'm pretty sure i have a faulty BMS, just trying to sort out getting a...
If you physically removed the motor (MG2), no. if you removed the battery, no. if the battery was totally flat, maybe. Provided there is enough...
Best snow performance i've ever had from a car.
Hi Azor, The hydrogen system "works" in as much as it allows you to frig around with your fuelling and not stall the engine. Big manufacturers...
