Here is the billing summary of a quick charge i did at the boucherville quick charger in the summer Its the first one in montreal this is a different one then the one sandy used rcently in his post. Nom de la borne: CE-SBR-001 Date de début de session: 2014-08-01 18:11:16 Date de fin de...

Hi sandy, Thanks for the post. The numbers show me that quick charging in the extreme cold is slow, expensive and disappointing. You post shows that hydro quebec should adjust the rate in winter or just switch to a per kwh charge structure. I don't know if people on the aveq list are...

Hi jpif, I dont think anyone has done this for a few reasons: As far as i know there is no way to charge and run the car at the same time. I think running a generator inside the car might have problems even if you get the exhaust safely out of the car. It needs air to run. Probably safer to...

Thats a good point about the temp sensors heating up before the batteries do. Perhaps there is some room to help the battery in winter by heating it but perhaps not for quick charging. Considering the slow L1 rate I'm not sure if there is a need to heat the battery or if there is a benefit. It...

Hi sandy, I think it would be a good idea for you to get canion setup. You can then see the battery temp. If you use the dh to heat the battery on your way to the fast charger perhaps you could get a faster charge rate. Its easy to remove the servo and manually direct warm air to the...

Hi sandy, Cant believe you spotted my car in that video, you can spot a single frame at 30 frames per sec. Pretty impressive..... Don.....

Hi pier, Great news. And that was actually pretty fast when considering the extended times people have been reporting for warranty repairs. I recently did a longer trip at -4 deg c and my range was about 96 km. its hard to look at range and guess if the pack is good. That being said you seem...

Hi pier, As pv1 mentioned, it sounds like one cell may have developed a mild internal short. Indeed its the opposite of what i described. Instead of the bad cell going to a high voltage it somehow struggles with raising its voltage. Eventually the other cells start shunting and the bad gets...

Hi Pier, Thanks for the extra info. For the canion database. You may find that if you plug in you phone or tablet to your computer with the USB charging cable. The computer will ask you if you want to open up the files on the device. If you click yes then you get an explorer window and you...

Hi pier, Thanks for posting this information. I think you are the first person to experience a cell failure and was able to look at the cells with canion. I would love to understand how the car was dealing with the failing cell. I mean how was the car computing SOC and what was the cell...

Nice video sandy. Its always nice to see a video of something rather then read it in a message. That being said, On the same note I had a chance to do an extended trip today using the DH. I started at my place and drove to mirabel airport. An elevation change of about +300 feet. It was -4 deg C...

Something i noticed with the latest canion is that on the trip timer page the wh out resets to Zero every time the phone disconnects and reconnects automatically. While its fantastic that the auto reconnect is working can you perhaps change the reset logic to keep the last values when auto...

I believe the most manufacturers are warranting the battery for capacity loss up to 70 %. So i guess we can expect something a little higher then that after 8 years. They must know something about capacity loss. For the comment about if capacity loss was with one cell or multiple cells. I...

I have a clipper creak lcs-25 on a dryer plug. Works great but the remote operation is flaky. I would ask if anyone has found a good l2 evse that works with the remote flawlessly. It would be nice to have bullet proof operation with the remote on l2. Don......

Well i concur with sandage, I never really liked the idea that you had to trade winter comfort for range in an ev. Winter range was my first and biggest concern about buying an ev up here. After two winters of driving and trying all kinds of things to keep warm in the car the diesel heater...

My take on this is that qc should be used as city connectors first before being placed in cities for convenience, that being said Highway reststops with 24 hour personnel would be the natural choice. After city pairs are connected Then qc might be placed in cities. Regardless of the restaurant...

There is a small box with a few relays in it under the hood. I think its on the passenger side. One of the relays controls the drl. You can pull it out to disable the drl. Put it back in to enable them. Its a small green relay. Don......

Hey Sandange, Actually there is a part 2 to this video. If you go to my channel you will see it there. I turn the lights on with the car in ready mode. When in ready mode all the loads are on the main traction pack thru the dc-dc converter. In ready mode the 12 V battery was charging at about...

A while back when considering where to install the heater I was thinking of replacing the 12 v battery with a smaller one and relocating it to mount the heater in the spot where the battery is now. I did a video with some load testing of the 12 v system and then forgot about it. While cleaning...

I think the battery's should be stored at about 40 % charge at normal room temp of 21 deg c. You can buy a programable battery charger and tester on the internet for under a hundred dollars that is used for radio controlled airplane batteries. It can charge your cells and do a capacity test...
