A few days ago I noticed I was down one bar. Went back over pictures and narrowed it down to having happened early fall of last year. But SOH reported by LSP is above where I think the cutoff is: I think what happened is that I dipped below the 12-bar cutoff in fall of last year, and have...

Eliminating potential need for panel upgrade: https://electrek.co/2022/07/27/siemens-home-ev-charger-adapter/

I tried to charge at a public L2 station today, and the plug would not insert fully. Same story on a nearby station. Both were ChargePoint stations. Looking closely at the inlet, the bottom/left pin (CP) looks to be out of alignment (too close to center). I tried moving it over with a tool...

We got our hottest day of the year so far (86F) and I turned on the AC today for the first time this warm season, only to discover that it's not working. Fans in the cabin are fine, I can also hear/see the radiator fans working. Fuse for the AC relay (10A) tests good. Looked at the relay but...

Earlier this year, I was stopped at a light and went to adjust the clock for Daylight Saving. Partway through that process, the light turned green, and I headed off. I got this message when I started to move. (The message stayed on long enough for me to take a picture at the next light.)

I'm sure some have seen higher readings, but I usually accumulate them for a month, so I've never seen anything much over 5.0. In this case I had a problem that caused my stats to reset, at a charging location that's mostly uphill from home. So this reading was captured on the way back home...

This year I'll be diving deeper into electric boating. Last year I dipped my toe in, with a trolling motor on a ten-foot inflatable boat. We live near a river with a 5mph speed limit, so this combination was perfect. But getting that small taste gave me an appetite for more. As with EVs...

For close to two years, I've been accumulating my mi/kWh readings from the trip computer on a per-month basis. Among other things, this lets me compare values for the same month of different years, in an attempt to factor out seasonal variations. This month I had a problem that put my Leaf in...

https://egopowerplus.com/worththewait?utm_campaign=ego_product_20201215 'Coming Soon'. I have a walk-behind model of theirs and it works well for my small back yard. (I saw a couple other threads about lawnmowers but multiple years had passed since the latest post.)

Short-term fluctuations could have lined up favorably, to yield such a low SOH/etc. decrease for the year (and I only put 4,089 miles on it). Maybe averaging a week's worth of readings would yield a more meaningful comparison.

Was having trouble with my passenger not having anywhere to put their tissue box. No matter which front seat we put it behind, it would eventually shift to being out of reach from the front seats. Found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T2D9F57 . . . attached it with...

ALL FOUR SOLD. I have a set of four of these, with tires still installed (Ecopias with 4/32" to 5/32" tread left). TPMS sensors were working fine when the wheels were replaced. Wheel covers are *not* included (already sold). These are useful as spare tires, and why I left the old tires...

I had replaced two of the steel wheels on my 2016 S with much lighter versions last September (Enkei RPF1s), but didn't really see an efficiency improvement then. I put it down to new tires having more rolling resistance than old tires, and the weather cooling off. In March of this year I...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygBf1wOx1X8 I'll caveat this by saying it's not for everyone in terms of cost/benefit. This was more of an experiment, and I've yet to actually drive around with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8MZNyZ5rnc Divergence is about 1/3 in, then comes back together around 2/3. Set to music.

I was surprised to not be able to find these online . . . if someone has a source, please share it. I was able to get my alignment shop to print these. The first is what you get (along with before/after readings) when you have an alignment done. The second page gives a bit more detail, in...

I was changing the bulbs in the license plate light holder to LED today when one of the rubber gaskets fell off and behind the license plate area. I probably could remove the rear diffuser to get at that area (and likely will some day). But for the moment I needed a replacement gasket (or...

The generator is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NXYLUM2 . . . it's rated at 7.2kW continuous. The L2 EVSE is the ClipperCreek LCS-25P . . . it should draw ~5kW at most. I used an adapter from the generator's L14-30 outlet to the 14-50 needed by the EVSE. I confirmed 'straight...
