Re: [EVDL] EV Digest, Vol 108, Issue 3

I have to admit that we’re up in the Tualatin mountains in Oregon and while we don’t get power outages all that often, when we do, it can take a long time to get the power back on. We have an F150 Lightning reservation. Partly because for my business (Transport Evolved) to help carry around

We’re getting 40-50 miles at the moment on half the battery. As the pack has just been put in, it’s still waking up… Eventually, I should get 70-80 miles. [image: --] Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield [image: https://]about.me/aminorjourney On Thu, Apr

It gets upset. Which is why WolfTronix came up with that special spoofer device. It sits there and pretends to be modules so that the BMS is happy. :) [image: --] Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield [image: https://]about.me/aminorjourney On Mon, Dec 19,

Try reaching out to “WolfTronix” — he’s been working on doing some pretty fun things with LEAF packs. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiLeHxANvxq6_BTl3GbeahQ Nikki. [image: --] Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield [image: https://]about.me/aminorjourney

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: LEAF goes wireless EVSE in the interest of science

I should probably note here that the article was written by me: Transport Evolved is my ‘baby’. At the moment, we actually have two inductive cars. There’s the temporary longer inductive system written about in the article, but also a 2002 RAV4 EV with SPI system. Sadly, the latter is a bit sick

Re: [EVDL] EV-Spotting in London

Bruce, I used to live in Bristol. Actually, Bristol is one of the more forward-thinking cities in the UK when it comes to renewable energy. And EVs. I used to regularly drive form Bristol to London (thanks to the Ecotricity Electric Highway) in both our LEAF and our Volt. Always saw more EVs in

Re: [EVDL] Japanese leaf charging cable

I would hazard that the small switch-mode power supply inside the EVSE charging ’brick’ is universal. You may want to ask this guy: http://evseupgrade.com/?main_page=product_info_id=28 How much will recertification cost? If you’re going to have to certify either way, a more sensible option would

Re: [EVDL] Hotel Chargers

My two cents. Based on experience in Europe, it’s often about ensuring you have a bunch of converters/connectors, and can bend the ear of either someone who does maintenance, kitchen staff, or someone else you can befriend. Openchargemap could be one place to start, and Plugshare too. But it

Re: [EVDL] What brand & model car was burned in a Vacaville-CA garage fire?

That was my first suggestion too. An old Solectria Force would fit the bill. Given many of these cars are now far from stock, it also increase the risk that there would be a fire or some other issue. However good we are in the DIY world, mistakes happen. ᐧ [image: --] Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: What You Need To Know To Wire A Garage EVSE

Just as a side here (because it’s what I have) the Versicharge from Siemens comes with a four-way switch inside that you can set for maximum current. This means (if like me) you’re renting a house with a 30A circuit free it’s possible to turn down the max current to ensure you don’t heat any
