Actually that gives me hope Rivian might be real, imagine the first en mass drivetrain swapper in recent history?

A car company that only talks about "mobility" is an immediate fail based on an overused buzz word. You already know what they are hocking by the single word "mobility". At best it will linger a few years sucking up reservations creating nothing. Our only hope is they can the mobility crap and...

The Nissan battery warranty is 36,000 miles and 8 bars, if you have more than 8 bars your battery is good. If you have more than 36,000 miles your battery is also good (unless the thing can't move at all) Degradation is not a failure to Nissan

I would think mitsu's cells are probably better using economies of scale Nissan could have a cheaper more reliable Mitsubishi cells in their leafs

Fixed fees need to increase? Brainwashing indeed http://psc.wi.gov/apps35/ERF_view/viewdoc.aspx?docid=215376 Nuff said. Fixed fees for individuals should be rolled back to 1990's levels Until ignorant wasteful utility profiteering methods are banned Year over year profit increases for 15...

How do I tell if a 2012 has chademo? (I'm liking the $5000 prices that are finally showing but none seem to mention QC)

As strange as it sounds many people feel a low mile 9 or less bar Phoenix AZ leaf is more valuable because of the possible 30kw battery replacement (Nissan doesn't make 24kw batteries anymore) Strange world due to battery degradation

Odd that leafs are cheaper than Miev's. Missed out on a $4500 2011 leaf :0 Still had the battery warranty even.

Too bad you can't put the Honda Insight re92 size all the way around. Nothing like the worlds most efficient tire.

There is only one guy who can fix the stock electronics, I would recommend tossing the stock bms, charger and motor controller. Next if memory serves that is a rare HV SEPEX motor not Ac. (And yes I have thought of buying a nife powered tevvan too but the things usually need the stock...

Tesla has a long history of missing deadlines and coming out $10-$40k more expensive than their teasers. So unless Tesla really steps up or their new larger cells allow for better price reductions I do not see tesla offering anything cheaper than the Bolt. Unless they have a loss leader that...

There seems to be a lot of mis information in this thread but mainly about the model 3 not the bolt. 1. The model 3 will not be cheaper even in base form than a base bolt and it won't include supercharging in the price (typical tesla after tax break misconception) 2. Supercharging is not...

Next... On my volt it was more like 5 miles, at low speeds (25mph), so I suppose it depends on the DOD your 16kw pack actually allows and the efficiency your DC DC provides.

No, there are multiple problems with that... There is something called a 14v 7 cell lead acid battery (yes it does exist) the trouble is finding either cells or an appropriate sized 14v battery (most 14v batteries come in a belt for camera operators and 40ahr is way way way too small to supply a...

Since we are split phase anyway, I always thought that instead of the 240v "duplex" receptacle (which is dimensionally the same as 120v but with a different key) We should have one that is physically compatible with a 120v outlet but then include an upper keyed pin so it would be future proofed...

Perhaps we need to say F U to safety, just ground per the standard and setup our cars to be more ignorant and accepting of grounding issues. My old EVs, you just plugged them into normal cable, no ground fault and it the thing charged fine without any problems.

You could probably cut that bill in half or even quarter it using cogeneration or just plain natural gas

Agreed 1000%, our county is unwilling to raise its sales tax, the state is unwilling to raise its gas tax, the road crews are unwilling to actually repair the roads that need repair correctly so we have a perfect storm of BS. I would have ZERO issue with the gas tax being raised 10-20% to...

Wisconsin was fighting hard to charge EV and Hybrid and alternative fuel owners a $50 a year fee, which fell through. Now they are fighting for a $150 fee plus adding wheel taxes. I argued with some idiots quite hard about how charging the under 10,000 EV owners in the state a special fee did...

$3800 new and people laugh that $5k for a 5 year old car is too low. Looking further I can get new for around $7500ish, and I do get 95% of the $7500 tax rebate (single, no house, no deductions helps) Ah well, always wished the $7500 could be spread out over multiple years, if I donate too...
