It maybe that we have 512 "captains" and a Commander McBragg. All thinking they are right and everybody else is wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_McBragg On Sat, May 9, 2020 at 7:42 PM Lee Hart via EV wrote: > > EVDL Administrator via EV wrote: > > I suppose I should read or see t

We definitely need new leaders with good administrative experience and an eye to the future. On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 12:17 PM Lee Hart via EV wrote: > > Peter Eckhoff via EV wrote: > > It maybe that we have 512 "captains" and a Commander McBragg. All > > thinking

Re: [EVDL] LiFePO4

I am down to one car and it is an EV. Granted it is a Tesla Model 3 Long Range with about 300 miles of range. I make no excuses and simply say that I can reach any part of the United States electrically (except Hawaii). Yes, I can reach Alaska as this has already been accomplished; several times

Re: [EVDL] LiFePO4

Hi Willie, I'm going by some articles that were written around ~2016. Most cited having to use RV connections up the ALCAN Highway. Here's one where the guy went to the Arctic Circle: https://insideevs.com/news/354792/tesla-model-s-arctic-road-trip/ -- not exactly a trip to Disneyland. https:

Re: [EVDL] LiFePO4

Okay. I hear you. I splurged. Instead of keeping my cars 16 years and running them into the ground, I went ahead and purchased something that is normally out of my price range. So why? First, two of my high school classmates' kids died in the collapse of the Towers of 9/11. Not a normal reason

Re: [EVDL] Long Range EVs, hybrids trade offs $18k (Corona Discount)

Hello Mark, Some Chevy dealers have installed Level 3 charging and they allow Chevy EV owners to connect their Bolts to their system for free. I don't know if this is still the case. I was pumping 20 kwhr into a pack but it slowed up so a complete top off from almost empty takes about 4 hours.

Brother looking over our shoulders wherever we go. It's the new connected world and I'm not sure if I like it. Then Covid hit. Stay safe!! Peter On Sat, Jul 11, 2020 at 12:20 PM Lee Hart via EV wrote: > > Peter Eckhoff via EV wrote: > > about 4 hours. I visited one dealer

Re: [EVDL] Fast Charging Various Companies CCS Chevy Bolt

Hello Mark, We own a Bolt and love it. Hope you have many pleasant drives with it. I second Steve's comment about Plug Share: Great app!! One of the things to try is that Chevrolet would let us "fast charge" using their 20kwh charger for free. You might want to try to do some fast charging in

Re: [EVDL] Destination J1772 hotel charging stations?

Hello Mark, I've used Plugshare before but I am no expert on knowing whether Plugshare has all the J1772's at motels listed. A Hampton Inn where I stayed at before was under a Level 2 icon on Plugshare. I did come across this link: http://www.chargehotels.com/ I'd be anxious to hear if it work

Re: [EVDL] Miles consumed for altitude

A while back, I proposed to the Bolt Forum that they use the conversion formula from foot-pounds to kwh to figure loss of range when climbing hills and mountains. Several tried it and reported fairly accurate numbers. So, it's anecdotal but reasonable. The formula is change in elevation (ft) x (

Re: [EVDL] tree huggers (2035 GM will cease ICE production)

Plugshare publishes those who offer their household plugs for public charging. My area is loaded with such plugs. Most are J-1772 but I didn't see the voltage/amperage listed in just a sampling On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 1:24 PM Lee Hart via EV wrote: > > Peri Hartman via EV wrote: > > If you can

Re: [EVDL] Chevy Bolt Level3 fast charging time

I didn't see Mark's original email come in and I checked my Trash, Spam and Promotion folders and it was not there. I own a Chevy Bolt and as the Bolt is charging, the charge rate falls off. The 55kwh in an hour is almost a full pack. A search on Chevy Bolt Charge Rate came up with this article

Re: [EVDL] Chevy Bolt Level3 fast charging time

Hi Mark, As a ex-Bolt Premier and a Tesla Model 3 owner, I love the Bolt and appreciate the technology of the Model 3 but I feel safer in the Bolt because of its safety set up. Somehow, my Model 3 does not see a vehicle in my blind spot until it **is** in my blind spot. How can Tesla can see a 1
