I don't believe that is true. I think it's just arrogance like when GM axed the EV1. Read the book The car that could to get a glimpse of the GM culture. Toyota has an enormous amount of clout in Japanese government, business and banking circles. Toyota pretty much gets what it wants from Japan'

Re: [EVDL] Quirky Spark Charging Pattern

How old is your 12v battery? If it is original then I would think of replacing it. All sorts of strange behaviors have been linked to a weak 12V battery in the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Even to the extend of DC to DC converter/charger failures. It certainly affects the range indicator. You can google

Re: [EVDL] ?PD.lu purposely maintenance-drain Tesla-S pack every 20, 000km?

Mitsubishi iMiEV does recommend taking it down to two bars once a month and then charging all the way up but I have seen nothing of the sort suggested in any of my Tesla documentation. The iMIEV bases your range indicator on a stored capacity value. It is a really poor design. If it gets off a

Re: [EVDL] ?PD.lu purposely maintenance-drain Tesla-S pack every 20, 000km?

I thought it said once a month. So I looked it up and the manual says: It is recommended that you perform regular charging from 2 bars or less on the energy level gauge to full at least once every three months. This allows the energy level gauge to adjust to decreased battery capacity and correc

Re: [EVDL] balancing: ?PD.lu purposely maintenance-drain Tesla-S pack every 20, 000km?

I think people get confused with the term balancing. It is pretty much a carry over from lead acid batteries where the take all the cells to boiling to get them to the same voltage at the end of charge. It doesn't apply to Lithium since this is derogatory to cell life. I believe what people are

Re: [EVDL] Solar off grid with an EV? (transformers)

That's good, all the inverters I have seen disconnect the solar panels when the grid goes down so you loose power from your own system to protect line workers. I never liked that configuration. The last time we had a 3 day power outage was in August in Alabama. It was hot and muggy and no hot
