Re: [EVDL] list of tree hugger charging locations, charging signs
I don’t know about any list, but a lot of us are indeed shown on the PlugShare app. Bobby Keeland On Tue, Feb 2, 2021 at 6:49 AM fred via EV wrote: > Digest pruned of many lines, remaining stuff is pertinent, subject line > changed. > I'm surprised it's taken this long for PlugShare to pop up in the > discussion.

[EVDL] Hydraulic fluid catches fire?
If not for the high heat of ICE this vehicle would not have caught fire. An electric vehicle would not have started the flame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xqvKgtg9a0 Lawrence Rhodes -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[EVDL] Think city car power limit light.
I'm troubleshooting a city car for somebody which runs quite normal and then for no apparent reason the limit light comes on and the car slows down to a creep. Turning the key off and on restarts the car and it will again Drive Normal for 50feet to a mile. I've investigated the 12 volt system which seems to be operating good maintaining 14.2 volts and does not seem to fluctuate when the limit light comes on. Batteries are charged all the way up. Would be willing to pay a consultation fee to someone who's worked on these quite a bit. Any ideas are welcome. Steve Clunn -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [EVDL] Updating old EV truck with genset?
Under no circumstances is this a good idea. Wait for the Cybertruck. From my experience and for the money I can not make a better vehicle than the OEM. You would be better off cutting the back end off a Leaf or Bolt and make a truck out of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R35gWBtLCYg Kinda like the Subaru Brat of old. However if you towed solar panels and put them up while parked you might have some success. Lawrence Rhodes -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
