Me, too. I want to see how bad it really is in the winter, if it is at all, before I start spending time, money, and effort to make it mo bettah.

Herein lies my conundrum. Up until last week or so, I have been having fun shifting through all the modes as necessary to optimize my range. I like to bump up into N when I can coast for long distances and then bump down through each mode to gradually "brake" my speed using regen as I approach...

I'll try to pay more attention to the exact speed the next time it happens. With that said, it seems to all depend on what my original speed is and how quickly I am braking. No, this is not happening during a panic brake. Luckily, I have not had one of those yet since getting the Meepster...

While on the subject of brakes, has anyone else noticed this? Often, when traffic slows down/stops faster than I would prefer, I start pressing the brake pedal and at some point there is a momentary lapse of braking. It only lasts for a split second, but it freaks me the heck out. I assume...

Barry, that's a great list for me to consider. Now that I've had a few more hours to think it over, I can probably come up with a few good ones without even being home at the moment. First, I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium with a 30 gallon sump. So, I have at a minimum a return pump, 3...

I'll tell you, Olin. I've become OCD obsessive with energy ever since installing my TED 500! I'm running around the house like a maniac trying to find anything and everything I can unplug or turn off. I have unplugged any unused charging cords and even small appliances that only get used once...

Most likely not. I also installed a wi-fi thermostat. So, I'm able to monitor the home temperature and adjust settings as needed remotely. My heat is on auto and is set to 62° during the day while no one is home. However, the ambient temperature has been well above 65° all day. So, the heat...

Okay, so I know this next question of mine is going to be off-topic for an EV thread, but I'm curious about other people's experience with monitoring their energy. The past two days I have been remotely monitoring my home's electricity usage while everyone is away at work/school. I have...

Thank you. That's exactly how I now have my 2nd MTU setup after trying a couple different configurations when I first installed it. The only thing I don't have the same as you described is setting the 2nd MTU as 240V in the Footprints software. The only reason I haven't changed this yet is...

Another question: does anyone use one of those fancy-schmancy wi-fi thermostats in conjunction with their TED monitor (or any other electricity monitoring system)? How do you like it? Which thermostat do you use?

Moderators please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where I should post these questions. Over the weekend, I installed a TED5000 electricity metering system I purchased from olagon. (Thank you!) I have some questions about how other TED5000 users use their system...

Thanks for your reply! Actually I decided to go down in my basement and try something. I pulled the cover off my panel. I took both CTs from the second MTU and clamped one over each leg on the 240V double breaker. I faced both red polarity dots away from the panel towards the EVSE charger...

Also, which 3rd-party app does anyone recommend to use with TED? I am currently trying out the People Power app on my iPod Touch and iPad. Are any of the other apps better?

Hey Olin! I have the TED5000 installed and really am enjoying seeing how all my different appliances and devices affect my energy usage. I have a question for you. I installed one of the MTUs on the main lines to track my overall energy usage. It is working perfectly fine. However, I am...

Meh. Sadly, I was nearly embarrassed by my Meepster this morning. She juuuuuust barely beat out one of those huge, big-box, bakery delivery trucks from a stoplight heading into one of those two-lanes down to one-lane merges. It was a truly shameful performance. Seriously, I really wish there...

Very jealous! How much does an array like that run?

Thanks for the pics! So, what's the story with the brown towel and blue t-shirt? Just trying to protect the seat fabric or is this some type of experiment?!

I would LOVE #2 on your list! Wait. That doesn't sound right. I don't mean that I want you to add #2 to your list.

S'pose you're right, Joe. It's just that I get that argument ALL the time! Low-information people who just follow the talking points.

Koolbreez, this argument has been tried before and the problem is that people using this argument are mixing apples and oranges. If you want to compare the emissions of an EV to an ICE, you have to start at the point where each vehicle actually receives its "fuel" and go forward from their...
