EU is going to be CCS2 though, which won't work on NA CCS1 plugs. You might be able to move the port but I dont believe you will be able to use any DCFC afterwards.
Almost 8" narrower is a BIG difference when parking. Cameras dont solve physically fitting in a narrow parking spot. No matter what you do getting the doors open requires space.
When slowing the same amount it uses the same amount of regen. The difference is you CAN slow harder with the brake pedal.
I have monitored brake line pressure as well and using the brake pedal has ZERO pressure in the brake line up until you exceed the max the battery can take. No pressure in...
Going from 75f to 15f my efficiency dropped from 2.0mi/kwh at 70mph to 1.35mi/kwh at 70mph. This was measured in a controlled test and the truck started out in a semi-heated garage.
Thats is a 35% reduction in efficiency.
On a road trip doing 80%-10% that would drop my ER from a 184mi stop to...
Can't say I have had the braking trigger in traffic.
It did scare the crap out of my wife the other day when she tried to pretend to come at me and it slammed on the brakes.
At least I think she was pretending...
So there are a lot of different factors here and how that number comes to be.
First, the rated range is NOT at true highway speeds. Kick it up to 75mph and that range will be a lot less, even in perfect weather. Aerodynamic drag is a killer, increasing exponentially (2x the speed = 4x the...
I look at it different.
The credits were not to pay people to buy the vehicles, the credits were to pay the manufacture to produce a higher COST vehicle and still be able to have it come in at a comparable market price. No matter what, EVs have not quite yet realized the global scale of parts...
If you dont know the need and you are talking about something that can literally catch fire then you dont go with the lowest common denominator, you go with the highest. This isnt the place to recomend a cord and if it catches fire just try a different one.
The lightning can push 20a, that...
Having to know which ones you can use, and which you cannot, only highlights the failure more rather than diminishing it.
Aside from brand loyalty or picky performance car owners, when was the last time you had to pick a certain gas station because others wouldn't be able to refuel your car.
I have to be contrary to this view.
You are an enthusiast, which also means there is a bit of a bias. Not saying that in a bad way.
The lightning does road trip, and its as comfortable as it always is. However the time spent to charge is annoying when trying to reach a destination. Dare I say...
I'm on 6.1.0 for android, released 20 Oct. Looks like there is an update to Android on 7 Nov so we may be seeing this soon.
The APK sites don't show it yet so I dont think the android version is out in the wild yet.
