Me too! As an EV driver herself, she should know better. I think being blocked by non-charging EVs are even worce than being blocked by ICEs. :evil:

I am about to go "all in" and hit the dealer with all I can find about consumer laws, EU directives about requirements to the car (specifically the wipers) and everything else I can find to help me. :x I'll give them ONE last chance to make this work, though. If they can't make it work, I'll...

I got mine on Biltema (http://biltema.no" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but I don't suppose you have that where you live. I'm sure you have a lot of similar shops, though. I got the kind of mats that is originally intended for sound proofing for the tank (it doesn't take much...

Great job, and thanks a lot for sharing! A suggestion for a mod to be done while those covers are lifted anyway would be to add 12V/USB outlet(s) inside the armrest compartment, and on the rear of the console for those passengers that want to plug in and charge their <favourite device>. :) The...

Perhaps because the heating in the steering wheel makes sure you don't need gloves? :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=esWIOCIbJ28 This is how my washers "spray" the windshield. As you can see, the passenger side could probably be better off plugged shut, alowing for more water on the drivers side. I'm not happy about this. The clip is made three weeks...

Just let the SUV-guys know that the "compensating for size" works both ways, and THAT's why you drive your EV. ;)

Easily fixed with some sugru. :) Makes me miss the good ol' days when a bumper was a bumper and not the most expensive part of the car to get repaired/repainted. :roll:

Great excuse for adding some fancy decals of <favourite sports team/hobby/other> to it, I guess. :)

This is not normal, and you should have it checked. Make sure all doors and the rear hatch are closed (although they should be indicated in the dashboard if open, I think)

I think that blocking the plate when posting is a good habit. At least here in Norway, where you can sms the plate number to a service number and receive information about the owner. That way it would take me about 15 seconds to get the address of the owner of the surfboard, cooling fan and the...

That's actually a very good description of what it feels like. I can't take it for mpre than a few seconds before I get either nauseaus or very angry. Or both.

There most certainly is a very annoying pulsing "sound"/sensation when the rear windows are open at those speeds! It's incredibly annoying (at least to me), but the inhabitants in the rear seat (the kids) either don't notice it, or they find it funny or something. Have had similar issues in...

You could ask your clients if you could charge while you're working. Fterall, an EV can be filled whenever it's not being used. You could also offer to pay for the power you use (or give a discount equivalent to the cost of charging).

... when your co-workers' discussion about gas prices is about as interesting to you as the average toenail length among the members of a random Amazon tribe.
