[EVDL] Ohio EV tax reduction

Ohio is one of several US states that impose taxes on EVs that are far higher than the amount paid in gas taxes by a typical driver of a legacy vehicle. A recently introduced bill aims to change that. Ohio’s current EV tax, which was enacted in 2019, imposes anannual fee of $200 on electric dr

I had a short circus event on my 2014 Chevy Volt while plugging in the Chargepoint plug about 3 weeks ago.  It literally shot plasma out the space between the hood/fender and door fender.  GM corporate go involved and said they would not cover it since the car did not catch on fire!  So I told

Have you tried these batteries Lawrence?  They claim on their website that most of the batteries tested have 90% capacity.  What kind of reputation does batteryhookup have?  Not necessarily ratings from a Google search but things you've heard on EV sites NEV, etc. On Saturday, October 24, 2

I've been using ChargePoint for my Chevy Volt for the past 4 years at the Kent Central Parking garage in Ohio without any issues.  You have to pay $5 to get the activation card for your key-ring, but it's definitely more convenient than using the app on my phone.  I did have one event around Ma

I have a 2014 Volt which has much less range (smaller battery pack 16.5 kWh of which 10.8 is used, 2017 has a 18.4 kWh pack).  I have a 21 mile commute to work and get notifications from Chargepoint about how much energy was used.  Typically in the summer I'll put 6.2 to 7.2 kWh back in.  Durin

David,You did see the post that my 2014 Volt has a 16.5 kWh pack and has 10.4 usable?  They did this for a reason and it was not to overcharge or undercharge the battery pack to provide maximum life.  There is one person on the Facebook Volt group that had over 400k miles and close to original

That's a valid point (not making money on gas) and one of the reasons there is huge potential for charging stations.  If somebody stops their vehicle for 15 minutes to charge there is a good opportunity to make the stop attractive to buy items.  I'm thinking of charging access at restaurants, s

It doesn't matter what powers the rail, it's much cheaper!To compare the costs of rail vs truck shipping, consider the movement of a bulk commodity from Houston, TX to Cleveland, OH. The truck cost in this example lane is approximately $ 5,159 per load, whereas rail would be $ 6,676 per car. Ho
