We have entered microcamper territory to maximize battery life or minimize gas engine electricity generation. I doubt anyone wants to idle their car for 3.5 hours to charge their eBike. If space is important, the Toyota Sienna minivan is an option. I would avoid the one kWh, metal chemistry...

Precisely. I find educating myself about EVs a time-consuming task. I want to use the vehicle to bike along the Great Divide trail. I live in Denver, not far from the trail in Breckinridge. Sleep Ventilation heated and/or ventilated seats that accommodate sleeping with a reclining feature...

The suitability of a PHEV for cold weather camping is largely dependent upon the functioning of the high voltage (HV) battery with the ignition switch in the off position. Does the HV battery automatically turn on the gas engine when battery capacity diminishes? Sleeping in a car with an...

The appliances would need to fit in a small area, like a front seat, if two people were to sleep overnight. A gym membership could suffice for shower needs. A roof rack would be necessary. I owned both a Honda Odyssey and a Subaru Forrester. The FWD Odyssey was inconvenient in snow. The...
