[EVDL] Thanks: evdl nabble archive is back up ...

My thanks to those that made the effort to get the evdl nabble archive back up and running. While the alternative method I used yesterday [ https://www.mail-archive.com/ev@lists.evdl.org/maillist.html ] works, in the long run, I feel it uses a whole lot more of evdl member's intray (yes, some have

Re: [EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

> I really like the car ... That's pretty clear from what you've posted up to now. And I think it's always important to drive what you like. Choosing your vehicle is kind of like choosing your mate. The person you settle down with is NEVER perfect, can be expensive to maintain, and for sure

Re: [EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

Thanks Lawrence I really like the car just want to be comfortable with serviceability since the local roanoke va MB dealer won't touch Smarts. I wonder if there's a Smart service class that I could take since I can't find a service manual. I suppose I could put it on a flatbed trailer and tow t

Re: [EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

Yes, the warrantee is 4 years with no special mention of the HV battery. I have had no issues to date and the two closest MB dealers both service the car no questions asked. I have not asked the cost of a replacement battery but there is apparently a Gen II and Gen III and one blog post commen

Re: [EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

Thanks Lawrence That's good to know. So you have the 4 year 50k mile warranty I assume. That's good you can use the standard Obd2 reader. I have to get something special for the Leaf. I'd feel more comfortable if I could get a shop manual since the local Mercedes dealer said they refuse to w

Re: [EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

Just to add my own view here. I have had a smartED 2013 for three years and it’s been a great car. I drive it pretty much daily and it’s been a dream to drive, fast and agile, tons of space to carry stuff. Basically perfectly suited to city driving. As for service my local MB dealer has been

[EVDL] Thanks for the Smart ED, iMiEV and Leaf Info

Thanks Cor, Dave etc for the thoughtful Smart, iMiEV and Leaf info. Since I already have a Leaf (like it very much but my son latched onto it and would like a smaller commuter car) when I replace my Karmann Ghia EV next month I'll probably buy a iMiEV since I see online service manuals availa

Re: [EVDL] Thanks - electric Boat

Hi George, Thanks for the specifications. The 24V operation is interesting. Most cars use higher voltage and lower current. That allows smaller sized wires to carry current. However, I suspect the 24V has some benefits too. First, lower voltage is safer than higher voltage. Does the 24V i

Re: [EVDL] Thanks - electric Boat

Hey George Sorry for the delay but awesome boat! Looks very comfortable. While not a deep ocean vessel it would be an awesome canal/lake boat as you built it for. The members of the group can be very helpful with specific problems, response is generally great! Have you submitted your craft to

[EVDL] Thanks - electric Boat

Thank you to those that responded with actionable replies such as from Medeck, Nickerson and Goren. Medeck has some interesting work performed to date that is quite successful on his electric powered family boat. A man blessed with artful creation, creating a power train that really performs we

[EVDL] Thanks to All. By the Way, It Wasn't a Tesla

I appreciated that others thought it was a crappy thing to disconnect my car. When I said I was profane, I was very profane, in a very loud and aggressive tone. I think I scared the guy. Maybe he won't do it again. Just in case, though, it's a maroon Leaf, license number (California) 6YBV432.

[EVDL] thanks for the manual

I didn't know there were any manuals for the stuff I put in my car! I don't shop where I can't charge    .www.evalbums.com/1745 Our evdl sys admin has placed a K&W BC-20 manual pdf up on the evdl.org site http://www.evdl.org/docs/bc-20.pdf K&W BC-20 was a fairly common charger in the early 1990
