Oh, and said individual also stated that you can use ProPilot off-highway, although everything I've seen has stated that it's only rated for use on highways. Is this basically a "off-label" usage?

Quick question: someone on another site said that the Leaf can show realtime charger status information - eg. whether chargers are free or not. Is this correct? If so, I got that one wrong too, and will update. Some of the data I've come across related to this is confusing.

Hi - thanks for the responses! 11kW is indeed what's being rumoured for the 2019 Leaf E-Plus: https://pushevs.com/2018/07/18/nissan-confirms-that-the-2019-nissan-leaf-e-plus-is-coming/ Of course, none of the stats have been confirmed yet. That would of course be 11kW three phase, not single...

Might have been a firefox issue :) Definitely let me know if you see anything that looks off! Want to make sure I have a fair and accurate comparison for everything.

I don't understand what you mean. "Written info"? Columns are the vehicle (labeled at the top). Rows are information about that vehicle, labeled on the left (and with comments adding more info). This isn't the final version, this is just the datasheet which I can use to make the final...

Hi everyone! I've been working on a tool to help people who are thinking about getting a "next generation" EV decide which one fits their needs best. The data so far is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KxeJsSoqptmlaJXNvP1eO25-j31oOz4eStoPnz0YNRY/edit?usp=sharing Right now, it's...

With li-ion, it helps battery life.

Oil does indeed settle out over time -- it degrades to asphalt. But nowhere near as fast as Rush is postulating.

And then you change the temperature, the slope, accessories, pack age, precipitation, wind, or any such factor and your equation blows up. ;) Heck, even the above charts are oversimplifications -- for example, tire rolling drag drops as the tires heat up over time.

Get your omega-3s from plant oils. They're not affected by the spill, and taste a hell of a lot better ;) Walnut oil, flax oil, and hemp oil come to mind off the bat. They all have a delicious "nutty" flavor. The downside is that you should not cook with them -- they need to be used where...

I just can't get over that they decided to remove the mud *before* cementing was done. I mean, WTH? The mud is what keeps the oil and gas down! Such horrible management. And don't believe that it's only BP that will suffer ramifications from this stupidity -- the whole industry will...

My preferred sound would be Gilbert Gotfried repeating on loop, "This sound is mandated by your legislators! This sound is mandated by your legislators!"

Who told you that? Even bitumen isn't that bad.

Unicorns. I want my unicorn-fueled car.

Anyone know whether it runs it through a transformer to boost the voltage, or whether the Leaf's charger can charge from a single leg of a split-phase circuit (i.e., 120V)?
