  1. Ice vehicles suck

    Just got back from 2 weeks away. 1 week in Oregon for a wedding, then a week in Florida for a graduation. Would have driven, but timing made it impossible. Rented cars in both places, EVs were twice the price. 2.5 years since I drove a gas vehicle. Drove twisted roads in Oregon to/from...

  3. Ultimate Pony Front and Rear - BSKT gets it right!

    I have considered adding a lit pony since the days where John Kennedy was starting his up. My concern was longevity. Over time, that concern provided valid, as maker after maker launched a lit pony and many ultimately failed. Then I saw the "Ultimate" pony hype, and wondered what was...

  5. 1,939 mile roundtrip, some interesting data

    Unexpected trip for a funeral for a relative. Drove from cold Michigan to warm South Carolina. When we departed on Wednesday, it was 30 degrees. Battery was preconditioned with a departure time, was 55.4F when we left, with 84.8kWh of energy at 100%. Biggest surprise of trip, 3 or 4 people...

  6. For those that thought Washington killed NEVI

    It was bullshit. Glad to see my state keep going on this. Double bird salute towards DC. MDOT advancing Michigan’s EV charging network through remaining $51 million NEVI investment. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced a significant milestone in Michigan's journey...

  7. CarScanner data graphs

    Over my long trip, I collected CarScanner data for each charging session. I'm interested in looking at (and posting) graphs of these sessions, with the battery temp and charging rate, illustrating the slower charging at colder temps. In the app, I can display say 3 charging sessions over the...

  8. Tesla Supercharger nozzles

    Just returned from a 5,419 mile trip in the Lightning. 99.9% of fast charging was with Tesla chargers. At one charger, I noticed the following: I reported it to Tesla as a "missing pin". Then, as I continued charging on the trip, I noticed that SOME locations had 2 pins, and SOME locations...

  13. Pilot / Flying J - Not as nice as people say...

    I have watched people post about how wonderful these locations are to charge at. I've used a few myself over the past year or two, and some were covered and nice. Others, well... Today I stopped at one on my way home from picking up my new battery snowblower, because I had $50 in credits that...

  14. Battery warming when cold, and plugged into 240v

    One of the interesting things to me is that EVs, made by the same company, can have totally different battery components or algorithms. This January has been abnormally cold, and I've been watching my vehicles and charging. Both vehicles are prevented from charging from 11AM to 7PM, my peak...

  18. RedTiger F17 Elite Dashcam Review

    TDLR: Nice quality camera, installation doesn’t blend in with vehicle like competitor, hardwire kit takes time and effort to install. Currently $219.99 which is very competitive, and the quality is quite good, with 4K. This is a compensated review – I received the RedTiger F17 Elite camera for...

  19. Who is AL?

    So there is a guy here (picture below) named Brian, who keeps typing "Brian, not AL", in all his posts. I try to stay up with the latest trends (what the hell is a Labubu?), but I don't get this "not AL" thing. Brian pictured below, with his manager on the right: So, I asked an internet...
