If you want to dream...remove the ICE and put in a bigger battery. Reclaim the trunk and spare tire space. Mike
There is no way I think that that the A/C draws as much current as the charger, even with 110v can supply. My inefficient refrigerator compressor...
The design engineer probably says that to do that you have to give me more space. Those idiot engine people always get top priority. They are...
I think reducing CO2 is a good thing...but I think reducing congestion and smog emissions are more important. CO2 is a world-wide issue...but smog...
Happened to me 3 or 4 times in a year. With at least 2-3 trips per day that is about 1000+ trips, so an error rate of less than 1%. A 99% success...
Let me fix that: 250+mile Tesla-class EVs > Volt/Fusion PHEVs > LEAFs/iMiev > basic gas car > nice used gas car > old used gas car > no car :)...
I disagree. Given the same car (basically) when driving in EV the amount of energy used is much less than when driving with gas. It is on the...
I don't think so. (the real incentives are below) Consider this...let's say an employer is going to install 20 charging stations. Option 1 is to...
I predict that you are 99.9% incorrect on this and all (sizeable) workplaces will almost exlusively install official charging stations and not...
I challenge you to find a Leaf owner who is not middle class (or above). Mike
You don't have to hypermile to get good mpg. Just drive it. But it isn't reasonable to think that the car is going to know what the terrain...
I doubt it. Of course it depends on how you do the math. For example, if batteries are the limiting resource, it makes much more sense to build 4...
The bleach smell will go away, while the other smells won't unless you do something. I haven't tried this...I just heard it on a car talk show....
Free public charging should be limited to 1-2 hours, then. But most will get a full charge at night, for severl hours. Mike
Yes, but what happens when the parking spots are shared in the workplace. And the last guy to get his charging time needs his EV charged in order...
They sell hardware and provide the cell phone and billing service. Whoever installs the hardware sets the price and collects the money. (Probably...
Math OCD: If you are assuming a 12% charging loss then you want to divide by 0.88 rather than multiply by 1.12 Mike
Have you watched the HSI screen and seen how much foot pressure it takes to get into the power zone? Once you get a feel for this you should have...
One more thing. I think the people charging $2 per hour fall into one of three categories: 1) They don't really want to provide electricity to...
For the PIP that is $4 to get 3 kwh. Or about $1.33 per kwh...which is more than 10x the national average rate. The Leaf and Volt can charge at a...
