Allowing for conversion losses maybe 0.5% (one part in 200), so it might be a "half mile" loss.

That is per channel. So 2 miles on a 4 channel amp.

I knew it! I didn't get the "SL" because of the solar panel, and I *couldn't* get the "QC port" because I didn't get the "SL". The irony is all the BS with the CHAdeMO interface almost makes "two wrongs a right" (and saved me $$).

I agree but whenever I am showing my EV at an event someone says "It should have a solar panel." They don't know the physics or they would not make the suggestion. I used to go into detail about how much energy a solar panel makes and how its orientation to the sun matters... Now I can just say "It does!" It is worth it for that alone :mrgreen:mogur said:The solar panel is just a gimmick.
