You just have to be smart about it and use it somewhat responsibly. Take some time driving with ePedal in good dry conditions first so that you get used to managing the pedal in a smooth manner. Just yanking your foot off the gas with ePedal on is like immediately going from the gas to jumping...

I always check in on PlugShare, but unfortunately it seems that (at least in my city) despite the number of EV owners visibly growing, it appears it's still the same group of us who actually have the courtesy to check in and contribute to PlugShare, rather than just being a leech. I carry a...

That's also normal. Once you charge past 95%, the SOC and kWh readings jump around a bit between right before you unplug, right after you unplug, and the next time you restart. Multiple times I've sat in the car while charging with the ignition on to run heat/AC and so I can see the battery...

It's located in the trunk on the right side, behind the panel where the trunk light is. You have to remove that entire panel to get to the amplfiier, so it's most likely easier to grab the low-level signals behind the radio instead, the wiring being as I posted above. It doesn't matter whether...

I did respond to a comment that you had made a month ago before this one - "If you have the Bose system, the head unit sends out low level output (~4V preouts). The wires should be (+,-) LF: Yellow, Brown - Pin 2, 3 RF: Green, Red - Pin 11, 12 LR: Pink, Blue - Pin 4, 5 RR: Brown, Yellow - Pin...

Last summer I travelled to the Oregon coast to experience the real life locations that inspired a video game that means a whole lot to me, Life is Strange. Being Oregon I knew that I had to rent an EV and check out what it's like to drive one there compared to oil-county Alberta, and took the...

I mean the Taycan has an option where the car itself can limit charging speed to 200kW, even if you use a 350kW charger.

This is a known issue with CarPlay on the Leaf, to my knowledge there's yet to be any actual fix found.

Hey everyone! Been on the forum for a little bit but noticed that I never got around to an intro post. Back in 2011, my twelve year old self really didn't know anything about cars, I did like racing games more than most others but didn't play games much as a whole. My dad took me to the local...

The Leaf is 100% dolly towable. The rear wheels are just free spinning, so as long as the fronts are off the ground and the parking brake is OFF, pull it as much as you like.

If you still need it or anyone does in the future this is what my source lists for it: Left Front Speaker (+/-) Blue - Pink (w/o amp); Yellow - Brown (amp) +,- Radio, white 20 pin plug, pins 2 - 3 Right Front Speaker (+/-) Green - Red +,- Radio, white 20 pin plug, pins 11 - 12 Left Rear...

At least the Taycan does give you the option of setting it to slower DCFC speeds (capping the maximum to only 200kW), which the option subtitle itself claims to "optimize" the life of the battery. AFAIK the I5/EV6 don't have this option.

Leaf Spy shows the true battery SOC. Because there is a top buffer, the car will never charge the battery to true 100% (4.2v/cell). As long as the car itself shows that it's charging to full (all the big bars on the right side) then you're good.

When you run the air conditioning does the fan come on?

Yes, if you have the Bose system, the head unit sends out low level output (~4V preouts). The wires should be (+,-) LF: Yellow, Brown - Pin 2, 3 RF: Green, Red - Pin 11, 12 LR: Pink, Blue - Pin 4, 5 RR: Brown, Yellow - Pin 13, 14 They are in the 20-pin connector at the radio.
