Good question. I am interested in the answer. Tax Credit: 30% of cost. $500 per .5 kW of power capacity. Expires: December 31, 2016 http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index The 30% investment tax credits (ITC) for solar energy...

The RR was using your recent history of driving down hill. I can see the two places on your graph where you said the bars when up because of regen. Than would make the RR optimistic unless you could continue down hill (at the same rate below sea level) for the next 49 miles.. Since the i has 16...

Wow! I'm impressed. Every sentence is OMG wow! Great data points. Love your graph. JoeS: You da man! Did you raise the tire pressure? And cute name too: Mitsi. I like it. (Do I have to pay you a royalty, users fee? You earned it.)

Wow! I like the Volt. The 516 page Chevy VOLT owner's manual is on-line...

What is the iMiEV CdA? I can't find it. http://energyandourfuture.org/node/5912 Cd: iMiEV 0.35 (Thanks to JoeS) Leaf 0.29 Tesla .34 Gen1 Honda Insight 0.26 (Thanks to JoeS) CdA: Leaf 7.02 sq ft Volt 6.51 sq ft, with both lagging the Drag coefficient King 2011 Prius 5.84 sq ft. Cd is a...

JoeS is right. The EPA uses an energy equivalency with it's MPGe, but on the top right of the label, the EPA attempts a type of $ equivalency with "You SAVE $9850 in fuel cost in five years compared to the average new vehicle." The EPA $ equivalency uses a fixed $/kWh and MPG to compare to "a...

. The Tesla Motors’ Roadster If the battery is ever totally discharged, the owner is left with what Tesla describes as a “brick”: a completely immobile vehicle that cannot be started or even pushed down the street. . . . From...

It's the hardware. The charger hardware in the iMiEV can't do any more than 3.3 kW. The software knows it and tells every EVSE it meets. If you are L2 charging more than 5 hours most nights, you're in trouble. The iMiEV battery doesn't like to be deep cycled every night. I plan to dip below 3...

Sorry. That's explans why the "HEADLAMP MANUAL LEVELING SYSTEM" is not in the owner's manual. Since it is not in the owner's manual there is no chance of it being on the other USA models either. This is a reality check, calibration, data point for me. UPDATE: The screwdriver adjustment is...

Sorry, BELOW the left cup holder is the mirror adjust and below the mirror adjust is the up/down Headlight adjust. I see it in photos. There are two controls (Headlamps and active stability control (ASC) system switch) just below the mirror adjust and above the charging lid opening handle. Do...

HEADLAMP MANUAL LEVELING SYSTEM Just above (correction BELOW the mirror adjust which is below) the cup holder on the left side. The beam direction of the headlamps changes according to the number of passengers and the amount of load. The headlamp manual leveling function is a system that...

My brother, who lives in Minnesota, says a garage is a reliabilty requirement. Even a little power (say one kW) over time could raise the battery temperature if the heat loss is low enough. Mitsubishi sells a Cold Zone option, which includes a battery warming system and heated outside mirrors...

Wow! JoeS mentioned this before, but the chart drives the point home. "Follow the money." In another post I say for $0.11 for a kWh, and the EPA Gallon of Gas = 33.7 kWh which is a "Gallon of Electricity." $0.11/kWh x 33.7 kWh = $3.70 for a "Gallon of Electricity" On the JoeS chart the...

Thanks for the SAE presentations. GREAT POST! ... Crickets Background Research: 1.Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heating elements have fast heating response times and plateau once the pre-defined reference temperature is reached, and thereby creating it's self-limiting...
