    What chemistry are my batteries?

    Is there a way to set my car to not charge to maximum then or ami just hosed? Previous owner apparently used it as a commute car so he had a charge timer set. I don’t currently though so my use varies a lot. There’s a bajillion chemistries. NiCad was only one that did that. Different...

    What chemistry are my batteries?

    I’ve heard that all electric cars should be treated like they have NiMh batteries in them which doesn’t sound right. That 80%-20% thing is a NiMh thing. There used to be rechargeable batteries that lasted longest if they went all the way up and most importantly all the way down. Different...

    What does this red idiot light mean?

    It’s blinking when the car is off. Disappears when I start it. Then a green car with two arrows comes on. Red light with some sort of marking on it. Blinks too fast for me to see the marking. Took a pic but I don’t know how to add it. The “img” button just drops html tags

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    So it seems. It didn’t at first but I discovered that a previous owner had set it to charge only between midnight and 6am. After I turned that off it was much better.

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    Well not no one. Not many though. Level2 is going to cost me four figures. Again. Makes an argument for me to look into level 3 as I’m going to have to drop a chunk of change just to get level 2. My memory is level 3 is 3 phase though so it may be flat out unavailable. Even with a 1000amp...

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    That is the issue. I had a whole seperate 1000amp service put in the garage and asked the electricians to put in level 2 plugs. Basically the didn’t. They put in the breakers for them all 15 amps, and there was one actual working socket, even though it’s the smallest type and I could only...

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    I have potential access to a garage. I will have to make space though which will likely cost some money as in getting older. Also there a lot of crap in there. When I built the garage I had it made ready for lvl2 but my friend who is an electrician went through it and used a few bad words...

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    I’m not worried about reduced range. I actually don’t need much range. I do not often drive more than 10 miles a day or less. 40 is quite unusual. My worry is that according to the manual the battery freezes at temperatures that are normal winter weather here. Freezing almost any kind of...

    Bought 2019 sv non plus am I hosed in Minnesota?

    I just bought a used 2019 leaf sv that apparently came from vermont. It has the cold weather package and I was told it has the useful battery heater but I am wondering if I was lied to. Is this car safe in a Minnesota winter? Do I need to take it back?
