Seems like Kelley Blue Book's analysts agrees with you: Study: Electric Vehicles Involved in Fewest Car Fires By Sean Tucker 01/28/2022 Kelley BluebookElectric cars have been subject to several high-profile recalls over fire risk. Yet, a new study shows they are less likely to cause a vehicle...

Thanks for that little tutorial. I'll have to experiment with the app using one of the bike rides coming up this spring.

I remember the day down at the Outer Banks (North Carolina) that the dredging tugs arrived to start the beach renewal project that had been planned the past few years for all the OBX. Prior to the project beginning in Kitty Hawk where our beach rental sat on the shoreline, we could enjoy high...

Google Maps, which is the route planner I use, have recently added EV charging stations to their waypoints. I tend to use PlugShare to find the chargers because user comments will give a heads up for any station problems. I don't have much experience with ABRP, but maybe I better start...

I noticed the 2024 model range is really really good for the 65kWh battery at 260 miles to the charge. Appears to be super efficient as well for m/kWh. I hope one comes available soon for you to try. I'd love to hear your impressions...and what a hitch install for your e-bikes will cost. My son...

It's about time! .... By: Plug In America Published: 01.22.2024 The signs of an EV future As regular drivers, you’ve all seen signs along the highway pointing you to gas stations, food, and lodging. Now, you’ll be able to locate EV charging stations in the same way, using highway signage...

Are you scouting for a 2023 or a 2024?

That remote battery disconnect is so clever. Wish I'd know about this nifty item when I had my Living Quarters horse trailer. I had to disconnect the batteries when the trailer wasn't in use. I did have the solar panels for recharging the trailer batteries when I arrived on site. Those were...

Never occurred to me to disable the truck.🤔

I feel your pain. I would take my F250 out for a drive at least once every 3 weeks or so, whether I wanted to or not, just to keep its dual batteries maintained. We finally replaced the old batteries with new ones so we could let the truck sit for two months or more between drives. In retrospect...

In mentioning early EV adoption in this thread, I remembered reading a long time ago, when I was doing research for a carriaging article I was writing for a carriage driving magazine, about an interesting early auto enthusiast named Horatio Nelson Jackson. His adventures ended up being figured...

LOL! That's sweet. 🙂 And I'm impressed with your city's setup for EVs. That's sweet as well.

The $600 towards the NEMA 14-50 setup for Level 2 charging is a sweet deal! It cost me $800 in 2018 to have two NEMA 14-50 outlets installed in my garage for a Level 2 on each side. I thought that was pricy because the dual electrical panels for the house were located right there in the garage...

Depending upon when you purchased your 2022, you should have (not sure but think so) another year of free EA charging left with your Kona. $1,000 oil changes for your Porsche?? Seriously?😵‍💫

There really isn't one at the moment. It's still too early in the EV adoption phase. Probably won't be a viable market until 5 or more years from now. There is, however, a growing lease market that, in 3 more years, will be releasing vehicles to the resale market. Batteries won't be an issue...

Do you have the free EA charging with your Kona? Sorry about your Macan.

I think you will really like it. It had enough traditional buttons and knobs to make any older driver (I'm in that camp, too!) feel comfortable right away. The EV tech is nice, understated, and easy to understand. The car is a compact SUV without feeling cramped, has a decent amount of room in...

Jay Leno liked the cyber truck. Check out his YouTube video on his drive in the truck. I was surprised because I thought the cyber truck was a joke,

Yeah. The Maxpack Rivian. 400+ mile range. Rated to tow 11,000 pounds. Real life for an owner who posted his experience has shown the MaxPack to have a range of 280 in freezing weather and hills pulling 11,000 pounds. A smaller lighter trailer, like your 3,800 pound trailer, means the Maxpack...

Yeah, it was pricy. Luckily we got the federal tax credit thanks to my pre-order in 2018. We also got the truck at the pre-price hike. My F250 diesel crew cab (which I purchased new in 2010 for $50,000) was 13 years old so depreciation had taken a toll and it was developing age related problems...
