To me this indicates that you lose efficiency using B or Eco mode instead of using D, N and light brake (charging only brake) appropriately and planning far ahead so that you can avoid braking at all if possible which gives you a full 100% efficiency rather than losing 50% every time you let off...

OK so am I safe with the 10 gauge wire because that is good enough for a typical 30A dryer receptacle and I can rely on the house breaker/fuse or do I need additional breakers or fuses in the line? And secondly, do I need to upgrade my connectors or will they be OK for the very limited use? I...

The cord is 10 gauge. Sorry if I said amp. It is very thick - I would think it can handle 30 amps no problem.

Yes and I plan on using this once a year for about 6 hours so should not get much wear.

I thought 10 gauge wire could handle 30 amps. The wire inside that cord seems much thicker than what goes to my dryer.

Same video as my last post - just updating this thread for those who found the Adapters thread later... https://youtu.be/KrnsDU404Yw

I think I have my charging travel pack ready to go.... https://youtu.be/KrnsDU404Yw

Update on this story! I contacted York Mitsu where I bought the car and got pushback from the first person I talked to, and I pushed back to him. He said someone will call me. Then the sales rep Ken who sold me the car called. I explained the situation. He asked for a video. I took a video...

its really easy to pass, lots of dotted lines and straight and not a lot of traffic early in the morning.

I have seen it work several times now just in time to save someone from getting really hurt

OK so if am reading this graph properly, "Standard constant speed" represents using no HVAC. So I can basically use that info. And it is right on what I have calculated. The black line at 40mph is about 80 miles range which is what I have experienced with my car (I calculated 83 last time)...

Thanks, good to know. That probably means I'm going to have to stop on the way back.

Are the main batteries still under warrenty? Are there Mitsu dealers there? Does it have a quick charge port? If not thats a big down side to me. This lets you charge 80% in 20-30 minutes. It's a great car - I love it. If you are into simple things that work and are inexpensive.

Yes thats another good point about the Dunlops, I think they roll very nice. And makes sense that would translate to savings and pretty significant ones. I broke them free this morning around a traffic circle because I didn't want to brake - it was spitting rain...was a little scary for a...

I won't need tires for a long time but I just thought I really like the dunlops. I think they handle really well. I was buying dunlop signature series for my mazda 3 for many years before getting this car. I was really surprised at the grip both dry and wet for such small tires. Seems like...

Thats a good point. In this case home is about 300 ft above the shore and its very flat all the way. So that does mean that it will be harder to get home from the shore. And the wind usually would be against me coming home also. But I have 5 chargers in Glassboro so I should be able to make...

wish I had a larger yard I'd start collecting them!

As promised, here is the video of the solution. Thanks to all who helped! Benefits of 240v charging: Much warmer on cold mornings and less heat used while driving which is great. Its more than 3x as fast (its amazing!) so if I'm a little lower than I want I can go out, hook up and come back...

I don't have any problem with the cost of public charging stations at all. They have to make their money and when I need it, it's well worth it to me. Fast charge at $10 is totally cool with me. I probably only will need it once a year. I would rather have the current costs and more...

The other friend's shore house is 72.3 miles! This is "The Hippie". Mid sixties and still surfin! And another cool little house with a smaller house behind it. He rents the front and stays in the back mini one called the doll house. Where I'm always welcome any time with no notice, even if...
