Mark, I share the hope. But I am also wondering why GM suddenly changed their roll-out strategy significantly (reducing it and making it much more non-committal) just days after the surprising outcome of the elections. Hard to believe that is a coincidence. And that coupled to the automaker

Re: [EVDL] $52M/yr 'Quiet (Electrified) cars' alert-sound rules by2019/09

Hi Thos, Yep, early Leafs have noise maker that can be canceled (but just like the communication warning, returns after the next time starting). I believe this was so that the vehicle can be sold in countries where a noise maker is allowed (or required) but needs to be muted at night. The blind

Re: [EVDL] $52M/yr 'Quiet (Electrified) cars' alert-sound rules by 2019/09

Please, no automatic backup beepers. Have you ever had any construction done near your home at night and all night long you hear the stupid beep-beep-beep every time the professional equipment reversed direction? There are countries in Europe where the beepers must be silenced at night exactly for

I second Ed's suggestion. Is it telling that I had a bunch of guys in my car as passenger and while I was driving, my cellphone rang in my pocket. One of them told me that my phone was ringing, expecting me to answer it even though we were driving at high speed and I was concentrating on traffic,

Re: [EVDL] Automakers lobby for "relief" from EVs

Today, beneficial charging policies are instituted mainly at City level since state and federal level is muc more difficult to move and more prone to influence from lobbyists, so I suggest that each tries to convince their city to change policies like for example Palo Alto has. Once enough cities

Re: [EVDL] Cheap L2 charging in parking places: Bolt EV'sInProduction

I have lived in India for a couple years and have seen first-hand how safety is flouted routinely. For example an extension cord simply consists of two single wires that each get twisted around the prongs of the appliance that need the extension, then run across the floor (sometimes occupied by a

Re: [EVDL] CheapL2 charging in parking places: Bolt EV'sIn Production

Robert, I have no clue why you continue to insist that a 20A breaker with a 20A NEMA outlet is an unsafe situation - this is standard practice in every single home and business in the USA, so if it were unsafe then the NEC and building code would not have allowed it. Also, it is the job of the

Re: [EVDL] Cheap L2 charging in parking places: Bolt EV'sIn Production

Hi Robert, I am afraid that some of your assumptions are wrong, so the wrong conclusion follows. You claim that the installation is expensive because of the large size of the installation, but you forget that outdoor NEMA 5-20 outlets are standard and cheap, so while the (underground) wiring to

I guess I should list my Leaf here then, since I am selling for $6k. Granted, it is a 2011 but the battery is still at 80% capacity! Note that the listing you found does not tell if the vehicle has a clean title or not, I know plenty young Leafs for sale with salvage title, selling cheaper than

Re: [EVDL] vacum leak

Unless you are talking about a big rig which can have air hoses to connect the brakes of trailers, most cars and light trucks have no air brake lines, the only place where usually air (vacuum) exists is between the engine in an ICE and the brake booster attached to the master brake cylinder. So

Re: [EVDL] Electronics help anyone

Reason your resistor goes up in smoke at the end of the scale is that the display of the tank level takes quite a bit of power, the (cheap and rugged) way Ford did this was using a bi-metal to drive the needle and a *heater* to control the position of the needle by bending the bi-metal due to it
