And what mods are made on your car to achieve such improvement?

Range extender are two boxes (65kg together) that are placed and connected to a trunk, if needed. When you don't need RE, it can be easily taken out. 1. box: Charger and BMS 2. box: 10 kWh battery pack Both batteries (main and added one) can be charged at the same time from two outlets...

I don't really believe mentioned mods would help to extend range for more then 5% when driving slow. If you estimate financial benefit, all costs of modifications would perhaps never return.... and the car would look ridiculous. If you really want to do something to extend range, you need range...

We named it Eli

BTW in Slovenia only 2 Leafs and 30 I-mievs (all 3 brands) are registered.

Yes, they are inside, the lowest bulb.

EU french clones already have small emblems near both charging sockets: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XTge0gbQlIY/UGYJp78nQzI/AAAAAAAADKU/dtrCPv33ba8/s1600/20120927_180119.jpg Citroen sells them as spare parts (24€). Very expensive IMHO.

Don't wish a single wiper blade. It's goodlooking but not practical. When raining, passenger has only half of the surface cleared. A little bit disturbing. Few photos of EU version you can find in my blog.

I fit and remove my rack in 2 minutes.

Google for Thule 754. My manual says max load to the roof - 40 kg.

Thermal and other losses are about 15%, so wall to wheels efficiency should be 85%. This is also confirmed by measurements of electricity consumption when charging. 16/18,8=0,85 where 16kWh is battery capacity and 18,8kWh is measured e-consumption when I charged from SOC 0 to 100. 15% is...

Not really if not done on daily basis. I did it twice with test car last august to test the distance driven with turtle on (somewhere between 15 and 20 km - lightfooted) and once few weeks ago to test battery capacity. This is most accurate home method to measure battery capacity I know...

1. Using Mennekes to J1772 cable you can charge with 16A and less with original cable. More then that - no way without upgrading internal charger and BMS. 2. You can measure capacity yourself. Fully discharge (until your car stops) the battery and then measure with how many kWh you can fully...

Some more...

Try to charge somewhere after at least 20km of slow downhill drive. Your RR should show you min. 160km after full charge.

If that's true, it doesn't seem to be a very impressive number... or is it maybe combination of charger and battery losses?

16 amps at 220V - 18,8 kWh and 18,6 kWh I did it twice (SOC 0% car stopped moving after almost 20km turtle to 100%) My dilemma: is wall to weels efficiency only 85% (16/18,8) or is the actual battery size over 16kWh of usable part?

I think it's Mennekes cable under Ion connected to Mennekes extension cable. It does not need EVSE because it is in the charging station.

Winter tires are required by law in our country. They were not hard to find. All four cost € 220. I rotate them, even though it does not have such a big effect as if they were all four the same size. I inflate them to 40 PSI. My tire dealer recommended pressure 10% above recommended, thereby...
