She lives off grid, she does have Solar but she regularly runs out. I have told her to identify when her batteries reach full charge then she can probably do some charging at home, but not much.

When it happens she will have to fast charge to 80% and then use the AC plug at EV Pluz. I will let you know when she gets the message

I'm not sure whether you need to do that on NMC batteries, they recommend you only charge to 80% every time unless you're traveling a long distance, you have to tell the car to do that, it's not the default. EV Pluz also have a 220v charging option so I guess she could do that if it's necessary.

Very funny, splitting my sides here ! NOT

You're welcome to post one

That's not what he said

She only got the car 10 days ago, today was the second time she charged it, we went to a PTT and plugged it in, easy peasey, it took 30 minutes to go from 20% to 80%, her car is the performance variant with NMC batteries and you don't charge past 80% unless you're going on a long drive. We had a coffee at Amazon and then ger phone pinged to say "Charging Complete" IMHO, many people can easily function without a home charger.

Nonsense, EV's are between 13 and 139 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE vehicle.

My 76 year old lady friend just bought an EV, she can't charge at home, she goes for a coffee once a week at Amazon/PTT and charges her car there whilst relaxing.

It depends what you're storing and how you use it. For example, if you're storing media then you don't need multiple simultaneous writes, you are typically just writing one file at a time. A far more elegant solution is to run UNRAID instead of RAID6, the electric cost savings are huge. With one or two parity drives and in my PC I have 20 data drives as well as 2 parity drives. I can handle any 2 simultaneous disk crashes without losing data and with 3 crashes I lose data on 1, 2,or 3 drives only. Furthermore there are never more than 3 drives spun up together when writing and only one drive when reading, disks spin down when not being used. UNRAID makes all 20 data drives appear as one large disk but each disk has a file system on it. The Antec 1200 case will allow 20 drives to be stored using 5in3 hot swappable drive caddies. I have 3 UNRAID systems in Antec 1200 cases.

We don't know the history of the vehicle, you may be right, you may not be right.

Looks like some clips are missing.

Typically, the AVR will correct the voltage drop and draw more current across the wires to the house. There is a point at which it can no longer correct the voltage, on my LiOA unit it's 150v. Drawing more current across the wires to the house also decreases the voltage. The wires from the meter are almost always big enough. Generally, the whole process is transparent and since the PEA meter measures power used (Voltage x Current) it makes little difference if your cable from the meter is big enough. Having an AVR is detrimental to your neighbours when the voltage drops because you continue drawing full power. A lot of electronics with switching power supplies (computers, inverter A/C and refrigerators) also act as an AVR and they draw more current when the voltage drops to compensate. If the voltage drops too much then they usually blow a fuse or blow up.

I suspect Dyna Version means Dynaudio.

Does that mean you'll be buying an EV?

Nobody minds people wanting to learn, but that is not you four

Sorry but I would need a synopsis, I am not watching 1 hour 40 minutes.

@Yellowtail, @ExpatOilWorker, @vinny41, @transam Please go troll someplace else.

M3 Performance is looking better, but I would order in black and wrap or repaint and I'd have the wheels to a repair shop and skimmed/refinished to chrome on the rim/raised section. And remove any badges.

Acceleration is not their only trick, there is handling, braking, reliability, total cost of ownership, reduced fuel & maintenance cost, increased driver satisfaction, do you need more? The issue is not just availability of fuel, it's cost of that fuel, it's more expensive than petrol. Another problem is icing up of the filler nozzle delaying unplugging the nozzle by minutes to an hour or more. We have totally different approaches to decorating our cars, I remove most of the manufacturer's badges because I think they are tacky. I think I took 4 off my daughter's MG4 and 2 off my BYD Seal. I also told the dealers NOT to put any dealer stickers on the car and replaced the registration holders for ones without the dealer's name.

The anti-EV amongst us are constantly arguing… This could happen or that could happen or this will happen and that will happen…. The reality is nothing has happened and nothing probably will. All the doom and gloom is nothing more than fantastic imagination.

You do post some nonsense now and again.
