I would guess his warranty expired last year or earlier,

Nope still can buy an brand new “Antique “ 40kwhr Leaf with Chademo Its a relic but if you live in Colorado it’s a very cheap one brand new. Not having Nacs or CCS sucks

It doesn’t help that Colorado residents can pick up a brand new 2024 Leaf for $9000-$18,000 depending on a variety of income and cash for clunker incentives In the US misinformation abounds but it’s the sky high EV specific insurance, tax title and registration that turns a lot of people off...

My experience is that the type of extension cords and outlets you get off the shelf are undersized and mediocre for EV use. (I have decades of charging off extension cords) My assumption is you want to use a 110vac outlet with a (L1) 12amp EVSE? In that case you will need a 20 amp rated...

It’s too bad someone doesn’t put a block under the accelerator and Import the Sakura EV as an NEV here in the us AT USD $12000 people might buy them for city use.

These plates can be hacked, I don’t see any advantage considering the increased cost and lack of benefits to me over a piece of cheap aluminum that might last the life of my car.

30kwhr leaf’s than are 7 years old have no business being more than about $5000-$6000 Sad that the market is so messed up. Batteries of that age could be really degraded even if they aged well.

What is strange is that the free “software update “ that GM was providing to Volt owners for a battery balancing issue had a very specific timetable and I thought was a result of a recall, perhaps I was wrong. Back in the Ralph Nader era I thought there was legislation to require auto makers to...

My experience with numb, quiet, durable performance tires is that efficiency is terrible. See if these are something new.

Both hot areas of California and Texas need to improve insulation requirements, it’s not like r8 or less insulation makes sense in this day and age, it’s not 1940 where you just sweat out hot weather. They could cut home energy use in half if they start insulating buildings similar to those up...

Our country is exporting massive numbers of junk and used cars overseas , if you try to bid on said garbage they usually want as much for scrap as a new car. Unfortunate we don’t place an export tarriff on the under 5 year old category, likely the cause of the jacked up scrap market as well

Shakira EV It’s like the VW Kroz That used to be an all weapons code in Duke Nukem

Sounds like a good reason to only move freight by rail with local delivery by box or semi

Make low cost reflective concrete and asphalt and you would eliminate most of the heat island and asphalt roofs would also be cooler

You do realize the USPS can buy the contracted numbers as slowly or quickly as they want? It is common within the military and government to put on the brakes of order quantities and model mixes on a wim. They may want them all at once or may drag it out, They usually have delivery goals but...

I can understand the hesitation of the USPS to field large numbers of BEVs until they go through durability testing. The HD market has been notoriously terrible at providing quality reliable battery solutions. Best example was all the 1st Gen Amazon delivery trucks that were scrapped after 3-5...

Only the government could force standardized battery units If you want to see Elon cry you require easily repairable and replaceable batteries

Someone did the same with a 1981 Comutacar some years back, only made it to Texas
