[EVDL] LeafSpy equivalent for Ford Focus Electric?
Is there an easy way to get a good look at the capacity of the pack on a Ford Focus Electric during a test drive? Either via the dash or an OBDII plugin w/ software? I found one close by to test drive and was wondering if there was a quick way to get any numbers from it's BMS.

And here again we also see Panasonic's As I understand the story told by WKTEC, you have glossed over GM's culpability in setting back the development of EVs by 10+ years. The Stan guy sold his NiMH IP to GM with the understanding that it would be used in EVs. Instead, GM sold the IP to parties it knew would kill the EV use. It astonishes me that anyone with an understanding of what happened would even consider buying a GM vehicle. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)

Anyone who's used good quality NiMH cells in a flashlight or camera knows how stable and long-lived they are. (I have some that I've been cycling since 2006 with essentially no decline in capacity.) What's more, the Panasonic modules Toyota used for the RAV4-EV were uncommonly high quality batteries. They have a reputation for routinely lasting well over 100k miles in those EVs. NiMH doesn't have as high a specific energy as lithium, but it still makes a pretty good EV battery -- or would have, if not for Chevron/Cobasys large battery patent encumbering literally prohibiting the manufacure of modules large enough to work in road EVs. And here again we also see Panasonic's nose under the door, because Stan Ovshinsky's patent suit against Panasonic didn't help adoption either. Together these developments hobbled large NiMH batteries for EVs, and kept them from reaching any significant economy of scale. As I understand it (someone please correct me if this is wrong), most of the encumbering patents have finally expired. A couple of years ago (2015) it was all over the EV blogs that BASF was working on improving NiMH's specific energy. Their pie-in-the-sky claim was that they could raise it tenfold. That's frankly incredible (by which I mean "not believeable"). However, even a doiubling or tripling of SE would make NiMH competitive with lithium batteries, especially if they retained their well-known longevity and safety. Alas, I've heard nothing more about BASF's work since then; has anyone else?
