Re: [EVDL] Induction Charging

Re: [EVDL] Silicon heat sink grease

Here's a tip from my woodworking knowledge - if you use sandpaper, even wet/dry, to achieve a smooth finish make sure that you don't skip a grit number, it makes the surface harder to actually get smoother. Here's a graphic http://www.briwax-trg.com/How to Use Briwax/Sanding Before Using

Re: [EVDL] Best charge rate for longevity

Or you can follow the advice of an engineer from Tennessee that Tom True talked to - "The final recommendation from him was to discharge the pack to 10 miles or so in range (according to the instrumentation), and fully recharge about once a month to "refresh" the battery" Which totally contradicts

Re: [EVDL] L2&1 EVSE & L3 port optional: Bolt EV's In Production

Since Bruce is mentioning small portable EVSE's I thought I'd add this - The Tesla 40A UMC can be converted to a J1772 EVSE by just changing out the Plug, removing the Tesla Plug and crimping on a 50A J1772 Plug. It is a service that TucsonEV does for $115, or you can buy a used UMC with J1772
