The F-150 owner can drive more than twice as far if he tows an EV and then drives the EV. In the above video the EV is 10X the efficiency as the F-150. The F-150 measured 10.7 mpg and the EV was 108 mpg.

https://www.motor1.com/news/382395/test-raptor-efficient-tesla/ The F-150 is much More Efficient While Towing More Efficient means more total vehicle miles can be driven if an EV is charged while being towed by the F-150.

I measured regen efficiency several times uses two i-MiEV cars. When the front i-MiEV, going 30 mph, uses 8 BARS (~7 kWh) the towed i-MiEV using regen B adds 4 BARS (~3.5 kWh). This implies the i-MiEV is about 70% efficient from battery to wheel/road, and the round trip back to the battery is...

I seem to be following in JoeS' footsteps. After five years of daily driving my beloved i-MiEV (and my brother buying two new ones), last month I bought a new Tesla, X90D. The i-MiEV is still my daily driver, since the Tesla is really my wife's car. We ordered the Tesla in 2014, two and a half...

The Board Stop was my solution until I resurfaced my concrete driveway. The driveway looked so nice and I was tried of tripping over the Board Stop. Yesterday, I ripped out the J1772 car inlet port. . - I broke all four port flanges and two wires. The EVSE was ripped off the wall and the...

The cleanest electricity is produced by our sun, a nuclear reactor.

anomalydesign, Welcome aboard. Thanks for joining us. Are you in the USA? What state? I too have an EVI. My EVI has never completed a charge. I think the EVI has an issue with my wiring. My Bosch, GE, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and other EVSE systems all work with the same wiring, but the EVI only...

My dealership is not trustworthy.

Miles on battery? 45000 Cost to replace? Zero. Mitsubishi picked up the tab. How long can we expect the battery to last in years and miles? 10 years, 100,000 miles with 30% capacity lost. To get there we may need to replace a few weak cells. After the warranty expires garages will start...

Mostly L2 at home (99% ?), but several times per year I would travel over 200 mile in a day. On these long trips I would use L3 up to four times in one day using hypermiling most of the way. I suspect that these long L3 trips accelerated the issue. Since slow L1 is good for balancing the pack...
