Okay CA peeps, we have Prop 30 coming up. As many have recently (probably) heard, our Governor has come out AGAINST the measure, saying it was basically written by Lyft to help them afford EVs aka corporate welfare. The truth? I have linked the measure below. The actual wording is like 27...

I'm getting ready to finally sell my 2018. The original plan had been to keep it for 2-3 years and trade it in for something better. Thanks to the pandemic and shortages and crazy prices we are now over 3 years. But this weekend I cleaned it up and did a bunch of photos and started gauging...

BP says their eV charging stations make as much money as their gas stations... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bp-says-its-ev-charging-stations-about-as-profitable-as-conventional-gas-stations-11644329726?siteid=yhoof2

I'm going to put this here, someone is welcome to split it off into a separate topic if they wish. I like the front... the back not so much. https://insideevs.com/news/548355/hyundai-seven-suev-concept-ioniq/

I've started to notice a bit of a noise when I'm stopping, or start moving again. Usually, but not always, it occurs when I hit the brakes at low speed or release the brakes at low speed. It is a click or a bit of a clunk sound. I don't feel anything wrong other than hear the noise. Not sure...

Inyokern is becoming a bit of a nexus for Charging. It does sit at the junction of CA-14, US-395 & CA-178. We have Tesla V2 - 4 stations. Soon Tesla V3, 12 stations nearing completion behind Classic Burger. EV Connect - 1 DC fast Charger, dual head, at the airport. Plus dual headed J-1772...

Some info on the "cheaper" Hot Hatch Tesla, coming in 2023 (?) https://insideevs.com/news/516842/tesla-25k-hot-hatch-2023/

7/11 is getting into the charger game. Seems like a good idea to me, though I don't know what the DC kW will be. Need more detail. Article mentions that some exist already, maybe someone here has seen one? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/7-eleven-install-500-ev-152502852.html

Seems like the luxury EVs just keep coming. 100 kWh battery, 300+ miles of range, $59.9k, out sometime next year as a 2023. Out of my price range. But still, think of what this would have cost just 10 years ago...

The Q4 is officially unveiled today or tonight, I believe. We have speculated on it in various threads here but nothing official. It really does seem like the Audi version of the ID4, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Starting price at 45k. Some details...

Created this new thread for HVAC discussion. Will leave it here under solar. Here again is a link to the Load Calculator I've been using: https://www.loadcalc.net/load.php I'm still tinkering with my numbers. Windows seem to be the biggest problem in my house. They were single pane but...

I've been making a spreadsheet with what I call "Real World" EV Ranges. I've never felt the EPA number does any justice. For pretty much any new EV the city range is far more than you will ever need, so what I care about is rural highway and freeway range. To that end, I put together a table...

I happened to be looking through Facebook market place and came across the Leaf below. As much as I want to see more people in EVs, it is this kind of thing that worries me. Someine will buy it who doesn't know better. Look at the listing! Over two hundred miles of range. Look at the...

This could also go under politics or a few other threads. https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEGHr04cK61xcdMch2-mOxVwqGQgEKhAIACoHCAow4Zn5CjCu8uACMLTRlgY?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

11 years ago I had a small system installed. It has gotten so cheap I'm going to add a second system. I plan to install it myself, and I'm working through my planning now. Micro inverter versus optimizer versus string inverter, sizing, layout, etc For planning purposes I've been using...

I have my first service for my 2018 leaf (purchased in May of 2019 new) coming up in about a week and a half. Its a bit of a drive and I'd like to get everything it needs done at once. They were aware of one recall, for the plates. I'm going to check to make sure they have ordered those parts...

Another new EV announced. Range a bit short but for Asia and Europe it might be good, if the price is right. The MX-30 features a 35.5 kWh battery and a powertrain capable of delivering 105 kW (142hp) of power and 264 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. Range is quoted as 130 miles (~210km) for the...

I did some napkin math and was able to calculate the near perfect EV, in terms of range and charge speed. If you take the high voltage technology from something like the Taycan, but you use Tesla efficiency, and you oversize the battery, you can get some interesting results. If you look at...
