An excerpt from: Simplification Rule #11: Build a Home Environment from USB Devices to Meet 80% of Your Needs, Powered by a 72Ah Portable Power Bank The context of this post is the 2021 Toyota Sienna, which is a mild hybrid minivan. This approach works the same from either inside or outside...

I like the XC40 electrical system. However, this car does not have a 1500 watt inverter with 110VAC out, only 12V, 120W, according to Volvo web page. https://ev-database.uk/car/1188/Volvo-XC40-P8-AWD-Recharge https://www.volvocars.com/uk/cars/new-models/xc40/specifications?redirect=true

Sorry, BMW fans. I found this offering underwhelming, so I have eliminated it from my consideration. I did not find mention a 1500 Watt Inverter with 120V Outlet after considerable time and effort. Quite frankly, i was disappointed and confounded by the electrical component specifications...

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 goal is to charge an eBike inside a hybrid van in cold regions, like Colorado. Heating the van with a permanently installed electric heater from the traction battery is also important. The solution involves identifying the electrical parts for a dealer to install. Comparing Ford's...

The purpose of the 2021 Toyota Sienna electrical system is to improve energy efficiency. How much benefit does the electrical system provide for recreational purposes? Some clarifications are needed to answer the following questions. Note: Engine refers to gas-engine. Motor refers to electric...

You can probably fast charge a Tesla with this monster. Want to charge a few eBikes, while cooking dinner on an induction electric stove, with another person showering and the rest of your party drinking ice cold beer, with a massive stereo system blasting? Here's the automotive solution. A...

My personal motto is: follow where the evidence leads you. I arrived at a much different place than where I originally started. As a mechanical cyclist, the riding experience is of paramount importance. I don't care about motor power or battery capacity. Those features are primarily a hinderance...

This post explains my intent. I talked with Specialized Boulder at length. They could not answer my question. I am looking for a "Touring Battery", "Opportunity Battery" or "Logarithmic Charging Battery". A battery that can quickly recharge several times per day, without concern for range...

Will you be the first or fastest person to complete an eBike ride for 100 miles at average speed of 22 mph, or higher? I reason that you probably need to recharge twice at 33 miles apart. 80% battery charge is probably optimal, from 40%. The primary unanswered question is: What is the best...

https://www.evgo.com/why-evs/types-of-electric-vehicles/ I noticed Whole Foods is part of the charging station network. The network is for cars. Whole Foods is a very convenient place to stop for food and to top off battery. Some places have free charging stations, too. All one needs is an...

I am trying to answer the specific questions in this post: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/optimizing-specialized-creo-expert-sl-with-1-1-motor-for-60-miles-at-25mph.35129/ I would like to optimize battery and motor performance by finding the optimal drivetrain for a 60 mile ride...

Hi, I sent the following email to Specialized Care today. Perhaps, your answer will prove more informative? I own a 2015 Specialized Diverge (mechanical bike). I live in Denver. I am a strong rider. I generally ride about 5,000 miles per year. I weigh 225 pounds. I have generated over 800...

An overly simplified market segmentation scheme to communicate basic personal needs and market segments. Fast Commuters - 350W motor, 500 watt-hour battery pack, 55 pound eBike (e.g., Trek Super Commuter+ 8) Legal classification - Class 3 Leisure - 250W motor, 400 watt-hour battery pack, 50...

History has a peculiar habit of repeating itself. The time seems right for another iteration of the Honda Super Cub transformational experience. The original Honda Super Cub was a gas-powered scooter, in my opinion. A step-thru ebike can be considered an electric scooter, in some cases...

I now realize why "Amateur Cyclists", like myself, have a hard time relating to eBikes. The power assist levels make no sense to an experienced cyclist. Power assist levels need to be communicated to advanced cyclists in terms of riding style. Presenting power assist levels in engineering terms...

I just bought a 750W Evelo Aurora yesterday. They are backordered for six weeks. https://www.evelo.com/electric-bicycles/aurora/ I read the NuVincini manual. I found 250W and 500W, but no 750W specifications or warranties. I called Evelo and left a message. I wonder if the 750W is too powerful...

I just bought a 750W Evelo Aurora yesterday. I read the NuVincini manual. I found 250W and 500W, but no 750W specifications. I called Evelo and left a message. I wonder if the 750W is too powerful for the NuVinci N380? I read several posts where people had problems with NuVinci hubs. I am not...
