Watching race 1 Portimao now. Wow.

I take it you looked inside the fuel tank. What's in there? Was it empty (good)? If not, and especially if it smelled like varnish inside, that needs to be cleaned out before you even think about seeing if it runs. It will need: Broken stuff replaced (doesn't look like much) Tires (MANDATORY if...

Running, or not running? Minor digging finds ads for that model that are claimed to run well, but with lower mileage, for $2400 - $3000, knock something off that for the real price as opposed to the advertised price, knock something off for known parts needing to be replaced (how old are the...

And the true number that they sold was revealed because they had to recall every single one of them to fix that stainless steel "exoskeleton" from coming unglued from the plastic bits underneath it that they're glued onto. Hah.

I'm in for dinner.

Certainly (my car is a lousy example for a road-trip car!), but would the ability to charge three times as fast *again* as your car will, at the cost of making the charging plug incompatible with all existing fast-charging stations plus twice as bulky and with a cable several times as resistant...

That's a darn good question. This is one of the other tech improvements that would be useful. There's some people on the forums who do nothing but fast charging, and they seem to have been doing okay...

These sorts of mostly-clickbait articles keep popping up again, and again, and again, and they seemingly appeal to those with the "petrol station mentality". Most of the time (97%) my EV trickles its way to 80% state of charge overnight while I'm sleeping. I don't care how long it takes. 400...

There may be a liability thing, too. Owner presses the wrong button (or someone else drives the car and turns adaptive cruise off) then ... "I thought the car would stop when the traffic in front stopped, and it didn't".

HEL are very good, and has a Canadian distributor (among many international ones): Contact Us Fancy stuff (Spanish company, owned by Brembo) J.Juan | Brake Systems

I got out for a short hop today, too.

Ramcharger engine is chosen largely by "that's what's in production" plus a bit of "that's what people will accept" (marketing), plus also the use as a generator will allow it to run in a decently efficient operating range. Actual usage might seldom need 270 horsepower at 5000 rpm much, but that...

Friend of mine has one of these: https://www.ford.ca/suvs-crossovers/escape/models/escape-plug-in-hybrid/

I'd be tempted to reconfigure your circuits to supply one 32A 240V EVSE and charge the Volt from a wall plug. You can always stick the Volt on the big charger for a short splash. My Grizzl-E is set up at 24A 240VAC and it's always capable of fully charging my car overnight. Your battery is...

Use any good quality chain, lubricate it with oil, and avoid aggressively cleaning it.

This same crap happens every time any company goes through administration (or restructuring or whatever you want to call it). Creditors and suppliers eat some of the losses and what happens next, varies. Some companies may be captive suppliers, organised as a separate corporation but with KTM as...

There are no guidelines for what constitutes a "community safety zone". It can be wherever a town council wants it to be. It can be wherever a noisy complainer complains to council enough. I can point to some pretty stupid ones. Now, think MONEY. Long straight road engineered for fast traffic +...

Every single one of them is in a "community safety zone", I.e. fines doubled...
