>From time to time I hang out on the SpeakEV forums, and I see this *a lot* across brands. Low house battery charged voltage seems to cause a myriad of weird and seemingly unrelated problems, usually with utterly unhelpful dash diagnostics. To be fair, though, it's not just BEVs. I had the same experience - the big oh-no red bang and cryptic error codes - when the SLI battery on my 2005 Toyota Prius started getting flaky. > the newest EVs and PHEVs seem to have a spotty reliability record and go > out of service a fair bit. I suppose it could be because some are still in beta test and we're the testers. :-\ It may also be more brand-related than build-date related. FWIW, What Car does an annual EV reliability survey. If you're in the US, probably most of the vehicles on it won't be ones you know, but you might still find it interesting. https://cntp.me/NN4HwqR https://www.whatcar.com/news/reliability-survey-most-reliable-electric- cars/n26158 The Leaf did quite respectably, landing in third place, just behind the BMW i3 and i4. So did the Hyundai Ioniq 6 (why do they insist on spelling ionic with a Q?), one notch below the Leaf. Tesla M3 was #8. No other Teslas were on the list; no idea why. The hall of shame at the bottom: Hyundai Ioniq (to 2022), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2021-), and Porsche Taycan. For US-market EV reliability rankings, you might try Consumer Reports.

Instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change. -- FORTRAN manual for Xerox Computers = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/ OT: If you use an Android device, please read https://keepandroidopen.org/
