So your battery temp only slightly exceeded the peak ambient temps.

Lawsuits will never eliminate the darwin awards :D Nothing at the gas station prevents you from driving away with the nozzle in your tank. Nothing prevents you from pumping gas with a cigarette in your hand, other than the sign that says no smoking. Kinda like the red lights on your dashboard...

Again, change your procedure. "Start" the car, listen for the ding, look for the ready, then apply the brake and shift out of park. Do it for 2 or 3 days and it'll be natural.

The rate I quoted include all the fees, delivery charges etc.

14 cents per kw + or - 1 cent. No peak or off peak differential. Probably adds up to $30 or so a month but I can't really say it was detectable so far in my bill. all electric house, peak summer and winter usage can touch or exceed 3,000 kw so a couple hundred extra is not obvious.

[email protected] should work. I've sent a few in recently and they have been quite responsive.

Today I started with a full charge and 70 miles on the meter ac off, 65 ac on (auto setting not max). Did my 12 mile morning trip around town when it was 82f, then a shopping trip in the afternoon at 91F to bring the mileage total up to 41. 21 left on the meter ac on and 24 ac off. Not bad...

Bottom balancing let's you use 100% of what is in the pack and have a decent chance of reviving all the cells on charge since they all died at the same time. Top balancing let's you charge to the exact top voltage you choose without a fire but you'd kill some cells if you try and extract every...

Max draws approximate'y 1.8 Kw, 1,800 watts. Low power in auto mode about 450 if I remember the screen data correctly. I am in and out of my car several times a day driving a 1/2 mile across campus, I'll hit max as the car starts to move to quickly cool things down then click max off and go to...

Leave your foot on the floor, insert key, turn key, listen for the gong / look for the green ready and the lack of 5 or 6 red light items. Step on brake, move the shift lever.

Think of it however you want but the standard is S first. Why? Because it is vitally important to know the total pack voltage. Two reasons, first is the voltage of the I-Miev for instance @ 88S or 360 volts can KILL YOU. Second, if you are not dealing with a pretty pre-packaged commercial plug...

In rc we refer to both configs S then P, the S gives the pack voltage overall. When you buy a large pack sometimes the cells are paralleled then joined in series inside the pack or module and sometimes 2 series packs are joined in parallel then shrink wrapped together. Some of my bigger jets use...

Yes, the chemistry is much safer and 1P vs. 74P reduce to odds of cell failure by orders of magnitude.

Bottom balancing, no cell monitoring, LOLz :shock: Some statistician should run some numbers, those packs had something like 2,700 individual cells. If one cell has say a 1 in 2000 chance of dying at any one time, and you have 2,700 cells in the pack, what are your chances on any given cycle...

Yes, if there is no lever by the drivers seat the port won't open and there is no connector for chademo

Normal, totally normal ;).

That car looks like mine :D If you do not have time to get it to the dealer and need to load it yourself on a trailer, just buy yourself a hand winch / come along or chainfall at harbor freight. No sweat...

After you get a full charge and turn it on first thing, check the RR meter with the a/c OFF. That'll give you the highest and most comparable number. As long as the previous nights drive wasn't a 70 mph blast down the freeway you should see something in the 60 or higher range. My 2012 with now...

You need the app for the network that runs the station, charge point is most common around here. Plugshare should tell you what network for the station you are visiting.

No, but it is a car :lol: Order of likelihood for rotary noises while rolling: brakes cupped tires wheel bearings I've had all three over the years, brakes a lot, tires a handful of times on different vehicles and wheel bearing once on one car. Not huge mileage on the bearing either...
