I had a Miata that was less than a year old. It had the same kind of damage too. The repair was beautiful. Afterwards the car drove just like new. We finally sold it several years later because we needed room for the baby's seat. Done right, these repair shops can be amazing. After so many...

Is this what I heard? Working great for six months. Charged it during electrical storm. Something spiked during charging and car discharged the entire battery to zero. Dealer reset the computes, charged, it and then you got it home. You tested the same charger, but this time no storm. Boom...

My transitional car was a hybrid that could charge its own battery without a plug. We all have a comfort level for trying out new technology. Petrol to hybrid to plugin hybrid to plugin alone. Good for you for beginning the steps to a new lifestyle.. Perhaps you will hold onto that Prius when...

Best suggestion yet. I don't want to carry a crowbar and I don't want to carry cable cutters. Actually, I do carry an extension cord. I also carry a small padlock that locks my L1 charger to my car.

110 miles per gallon-equivalents always makes me ask the next question of the sales rep. "Gallon-equivalents? How big is the fuel tank in gallon-equivalents?" The usual answer? "I do not know." I rarely get the answer of, "It carries about three-fourths of a gallon-equivalents and that gives...

Richard, 10 cents per hour x 24 hours x 30 days is only $72 per month for this experiment that cost a $5000 taxpayer grant to install. Recommend an experiment. First charger in line is free (Bold sign above each charger). Second charger in line is 25 cents per hour plugged in. Third charger in...

25 QC placed every mile is used to point out the absurd notion of a $45 billion 800 mile railroad equivalency (and of the absurd notion of pushing for hydrogen pumps made from CNG). Also note that unlike filling my gasoline tank to full, I often just want enough of a QC to get home to my garage...

Calif also pushing Hi speed rail. 800 miles & $45 billion dollars. Just $1 of those billion would pay for 20,000 QC Ev chargers or 25 QC EV chargers for each mile of the 800 miles. Did I do my math right?

Ray, you could be right when you say the AC is still turning on in this variant of AUTO. If that is the case then another part of the bug I stumbled across is they failed to allow the Energy usage screen to show the AC is turning on while still allowing the Heater to show on the energy usage...

True it is very little power draw, but it was my subjective sensation that the AUTO function was switching from heating my feet to cooling my face and back to heating my feet, rapidly as it bounced a degree or two on either side of the thermostat setting. My windows don't fog up (SoCal Inland...

I have read all the threads (whew!) but cannot find anyone with quite the thing I was looking for. I wanted to use the AUTO mode to control the heater, flow modes, and fan, but I did not want the A/C to be on. We all know that when you are in AUTO and push the AC off, the AUTO turns off. BUT...

In six months, my worse day was 3 m/kw. You wanted 80% charge (I always do 100%, but otherwise use all of the other restrictions and caveats, in this case it was 68 degrees, freeway, 1000' foot elevation change, alone, traveling with traffic (scal 75 mph) and in that scenario 50 miles is no...

Umm, I didn't think of that. :oops: How difficult is it to get it created from the wires that run into commercial buildings?

We have one liquid fuel drilling, transport, refining, transport, storage, distribution system already We have one gaseous CNG drilling, transport, refining, transport, distribution system already. We have one electricity distribution system already. Why would we want to create a fourth and...
