... or someone at Zeva ...

Uh, that would be @zeva I'd guess

Brookster , as a newcomer you may not yet have it visible but there is a feature available in this forum to run simple surveys ("Polls") so if you'd rather go that way, we can set one up for you. Here is a simple tutorial on setting up a poll which will give you a bit of an idea what is possible. N...

the LiPO cells I've installed... Rob, do you really mean LiPo (as in Lithium Polymer), or LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate, LiFePO₄)? It makes a big difference. LFP is nominally 3.2, and should not go much beyond 3.6 V. Nearly all other lithium chemistries are nominally 3.7 or 3.75 V, and should not go ...

Hi Brendon, Is the BMU VIN coded? Or could you buy a late model BMU and "upgrade" in a plug and play fashion? Having to have the module coded would make it harder but even still it might be an option once warranties run out to get a boost in (or at least restore) electric range. I'd guess either way...

Interesting difference between the dedicated EV company (Tesla) where seemingly everything can be upgraded over the airwaves and the dinosaur vehicle tech company where "no, you have to buy the new model to fix that problem"

Unfortunately, I've not had time to follow this thread closely so haven't posted earlier. We've had an Outlander PHEV Aspire since brand new, bought one of the first ones sold in WA in April 2014, delivered in May 2014. We had a major problem with our PHEV two and a half years ago ( documented here ...

Well, you got my attention T1 Terry , because the LiPO cells I've installed in both yacht and motorhome for house batteries are from EV-Power and use his BMS, though I have to confess I don't know which cell-top units I have in each system. The system in my yacht has been there for just over 8 years...

I'm also following along with great interest, Chris, hope it all goes well!

Hmmm, that champagne should be struck across the bow anyway, not the stern!

I do big branches with the pole saw too. Use a trick I learned from the professionals: start out at the end of the branch, lopping off the lighter sub branches first. Then lop off 1-2m lengths of the main branch starting at the outer end. As the branch gets thicker, lop shorter lengths. That way you...

Our nephew has the Ryobi 36V mower, he loves it!

18V probably OK for very small lawn and lightweight grass!

weber , I believe you're correct, Dylan will have been trying to register for AEVA membership. Dylan ( ev28wa ), firstly, there is no direct link between AEVA member username and the username you use on this forum. There are many members of this forum who aren't AEVA members. There is an indirect l...

We have a lot of Peppermint Gum trees around our house, as well as other natives, and had quite a few palms at one stage. I've cut down almost all the palms and I've been pruning the Peppermint Gums using a plug-in electric chainsaw (Chinese Ryobi copy) and also my Ryobi 18V battery-powered pole pru...

I would guess that the heat extracted from the seat has to go somewhere. If it just exits into the cabin it's not going to contribute to overall cooling much I'd have thought.

... Why the Car is Outside? I learned Tesla's burning during charging some times so this Car is from China.... :lol: "Safety First" ... But with the car in full tropical sun while charging, battery temperatures may be higher (or battery cooling system working harder if it has one) causing shorter b...

@doggy, please remember to change the subject of your topic by adding the word "SOLD" once you've sold these.

TIA,

The way you've drawn the body, it looks like it would hold a lot of batteries. Maybe no need for the big red box up front?

Hi @rileyman ,

For people not familiar with the Volt, it would be good to mention what range you typically get on battery alone. Also, worth mentioning what area you live in (state at least).

Cheers,

Rob Hills

My experiences with owning our PHEV since 2014 are: Virtually seamless transition between battery/electric drive, engine charging + electric drive, engine direct drive + charging Some pretty complex technology that just works ™ (electric drive/charging/engine drive/charging, adaptive cruise control)...

I use Tef-Gel on the boat. It's perfect for preventing galling of stainless steel screws/fittings on aluminium masts in a salty environment. Without it, the ally is oxidising within 6 months.

Hi Mike,
Congrats on the new EV, good to see you're enjoying it.

Plugshare is crowd-sourced data, so you should absolutely update any information you can. I've done so where I've found things that aren't correct.

Cheers,

Woot, way to go Mike!
Does this mean the MX5 gets relegated to Sunday afternoon rallys?

...I've finally got a 2014 PHEV Aspire, and slowly getting used to it... Congratulations, hope you're enjoying it, despite the buglets. I'm having no luck getting even close to connecting to the app though. I have the password but nothing happens when I press the keyfob 10 times (meant to be some b...

Just returned home from my 2 months cruising up to Shark Bay and back 8-) . Thanks for the discussion and links. I've tweaked our .htaccess file IAW the link that Scotty T posted and it seems to be working. Any problems with the change, please PM me or post to this thread using the @ ("mention") fun...

Hi Hugh, I recently replaced the batteries in our Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV after water ingress caused major problems. Mitsubishi Policy is to destroy the battery packs because of perceived safety hazards. I pushed back hard and eventually convinced them to let me keep my old pack. My main argument ...
