Ok, we'll skip this. Which is better, Star Wars or Star Trek? I mean... Which is better, Peanut Butter or Chocolate? I mean... Which is better, Vi or EMACS? I mean... Which is better, Mac or PC? I mean... (Correct answers, Star Wars, Peanut Butter, Vi, and Mac - BTW. :p)

Haha. I like it.

Do you have a link to that guide? I'd love to read it. In "B" mode, isn't coasting also regen?

Ok, so as I see it (and as I have been experimenting) we have too main classes of accelerating: Full power, short burst Meaning, step on the pedal and accelerate as fast as possible to the desired speed. Slow and gradual power, long burst Slowly accelerate to the desired speed.

Very good point, I am a 2013 Leaf, but I don't want to restrict it to new models.

There is a lot of FUD out there around EVs... I tried asking these questions on reddit, but really just got different answers. If there was a place to do this right, this is is. In this thread, I'd like to come up with the most battery efficient ways to accelerate. Through my own...

- Drive in "B" mode - Try to "plan" your breaking so that you maintain as much forward momentum as possible.

Yea, I see what you are saying. So, really, leave it in 100% mode all the time, and let the timers do the limiting. Ok, reasonable solution. Thx. :P

I'm going to add to this thread, rather than create a new one... since I believe they are semi-related. I've got my Leaf set up on timers. Timer 1: 80% Charge : Sun-Thurs : 5a - 8a Timer 2: 100% Charge : Fri-Sat : 4a - 9a 80% Charge Limit Setting : On I do the above for a few reasons: -...

Another datapoint. I had the clicking noise, started at ~2200miles. Appears to be coming from front axle only. Took it in service, and they just called with a "Greased the Splines" response. Seems like a common thing, as well as an easy fix.

Clearly you are not the person to argue with... Leaf and Volt... You bought a full glass of EV-KoolAid like the rest of us here. *Internet High-Five* This is how I think of it... the car manufacturers of the world don't need to convince people like you or me - or any of the Early Adopters or...

Completely agree. And people wonder why certain car companies to better than others... well, some try, some don't.

Chevy Dealer's don't have 'public' EVSEs? That is not a great way to instill confidence in your new car purchasers.

You must be really tall! :) Also, I saw McMinneville, OR. High-five. I got my Certified Flight Instructor for Helicopters there at the airport. Right across from the Flight Museum. I'm sure you heard me flying over. :)
