85% of driven trip miles were under 39 miles. Also,
99% of driven trip miles were less than 100 miles ,
leaving only 1% of trip miles being over 100 miles.
Less than one percent of trips are over 100 miles.
That suggests that three trips per year are over 100 miles. Not having

Some places are quite good and quick, but they are company and location

I can tell you horror stories about reserved cars not being there, about

I could avoid using an ICE.

Yes. Rental companies have those type of agreements - you get a key fob
or something like that and can reserve a car online and minutes later
go pick it up.
Also, there's flex car and car-2-go.

The goal is not to just sell
Seems like a very inefficienct system. If you want heat, just run
resistance heat directly from the EV voltage. That is 100% efficient and
costs nothing in complexity. Just series whatever number of 120v heater
elements in series is needed to reach the pack voltage. And of course
switch to DC f

Hi Buddy,
Why not run your heaters from the main pack voltage rather than changing the
voltage twice.
I use 2kW 220vac ceramic heater cores taken out of cheap fan heaters. They are
about 4" square and supposedly very safe as the resistance rises with
temperature so they never reach an unsafe t

I can understand all the issues people have raised on this thread. The simple
fact is that hardly any of the Renault range is selling. As a long term EVer,
