Re: [EVDL] [GGEVA] How do I tell Google I travel by electric?

Lawrence, I presume the original message was: === Your travel in 2021 21% around the world | Total travel | Low-emission travel | | 5,085 mi | 21 mi| So, I presume that your question is how to tell Google to put the

Re: [EVDL] Regen toll (was: Tesla Y actual wall outlet efficiency)

Reason you can't drive as conservatively as you'd like is simply: other traffic. If you are alone on a 45MPH road, nobody cares if you want to do 35, but if 2 lanes of traffic are storming at you doing 55-60 then it is mightily inconvenient if someone is blocking the road at 35. The other reason

Re: [EVDL] Tesla Y actual wall outlet efficiency

My Leaf has at least 5 mi/kWh driving almost exclusively freeway at 55 MPH. I have said it before and I will repeat: Leaf *can* have very high efficiency, the biggest impact is aligning for zero toe, which only requires a pair of wrenches and flat road and a good eye, I have done it to several

Re: [EVDL] speaking of range estimation

You'd be surprised. I have actually heard a new EV driver utter the phrase: I gotta drive fast now, because I am almost out of battery. As if it is a cell phone and you need to keep your call short to finish before the battery runs out and the call drops. As you and I know, the opposite is true

Re: [EVDL] speaking of range estimation

NOT straight forward. Humans are strange animals. One moment I may be puttering along at 55 MPH on the freeway and suddenly remember that I need to do something before an appointment and start driving 80 which has my consumption doubled, so the range estimation has to correct excessively. Another

Good to hear that. I got 10k miles out of my UB121100 (110 Ah) batteries with my US Electricar (Chevy S10 factory converted) before the range was unacceptable. Cor. On Sat, Dec 11, 2021 at 4:16 PM Ken Olum via EV wrote: > > Thanks for all the advice. I seem to have got off lucky. My chargers >

[EVDL] New Warp 11 for sale

I have a brand new Netgain Warp that I think is 11" and I need to let it go within the next month due to losing the storage space. If you know of someone who wants a cheap and brand new motor that has just been kicking around on a pallet for 4 years in a warehouse, let me know! To show this is

Re: [EVDL] Leaf 2013 Ghost Loads on 12V battery

I have a bt of experience with the 2013 in particular: I bought it soon after its 5 year battery replacement warranty ran out and so its 12V battery was already 5y old. I do not know its history. What we noticed however was that the original software in the 2013 only charged the battery

Re: [EVDL] badly discharged AGM battery advice

I have reversed UB batteries in the past, in an EV with a *long* series string of batteries (312V, so 26x UB121100) and if a cell has been reversed, it loses capacity and thus will reverse earlier next time. You will find such cells by checking for warmer compartments in the 6-cell battery cases.

Re: [EVDL] Join Home Electrification on Nextdoor

Indeed, efficiency is the key. That is why I was not too worried about using the existing gas connection for heating purposes, but switching to heatpump appliances (which *move* easily 4x the amount of heat they consume) makes them an easy winner in terms of efficiency. As for using gas for

John, My experience too that most experts don't like small/repair jobs (unless it is on their own systems). Luckily I have a good friend who owns a small HVAC business, so we made the deal of me and my son doing all the grunt work, saving him a lot of time that he does not have as he is good and

Re: [EVDL] Join Home Electrification on Nextdoor

The new outdoor unit that I installed just required the unit to be pumped to vacuum and checked for maintaining vacuum, which tells you 2 things: no leaks and no foreign materials that are outgassing/boiling in the lines. Then it is just a matter of opening the built-in reservoir to release the

Re: [EVDL] Join Home Electrification on Nextdoor

I see it is dedicated to San Francisco area. Home electrification is going to happen. I have lived in an apartment that did not have a gas connection. In our current home, I replaced the dying central gas heater and unrepairable airco with a modern Panasonic 5-zone heatpump, so we still have an

Remember, we are talking over 250 cells here. Grinding through 250 heavy bus bars is nigh impossible, let alone welding nuts on top of the half dome ones, because it is over 500 nuts... In the mean time I have sacrified a 1/2" orphan socket that I had laying around and cut 5 tines on it, then
