Yes, the difference is at lower speeds. Like when someone is accelerating fast out of a standstill in an inappropriate environment. Not offering insane acceleration is a safety feature. *in Porsche Taycan voice* but what if you have to accelerate away from a huge gas explosion??

kronix posted:We were but to be fair a hummer has almost 2.5x the kinetic energy of an rear end in a top hat in a mustang showboating in front of his friends at the same speed and we know how dangerous that is. I guess I should also point out that at 4920 pounds, a Mustang Mach E has 1.7x the kinetic energy of a 2910 pound Corolla. I am tempted to also point out that the hummer has way more than 2.5x the mass of the rear end in a top hat in a mustang: an rear end in a top hat weighing that much wouldn't even be able to fit in the door, to say nothing of getting out to the car in the first place. But I think pointing this out would be pretty pedantic, so I'm not going to do it. e: actually, hold up, you do know that the formula for energy is mass times velocity squared, right? Doubling mass doubles the energy. Doubling the speed quadruples the energy. If you're talking about kinetic energy, the real issue is absolutely the speed. However, in your example, you say both cars are going the same speed, so in this situation, yes, the mass is what you need to pay attention to. cruft fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Aug 26, 2021 |

I want to get a level 2 charger for the house. We've got a 14-50R outlet in the garage. If I pull the car in nose-first the way I prefer, the outlet is basically just in front of the car's front left corner (driver's side). The charge port on the car is, of course, on the exact opposite corner of the car, so it'd be nice to get something that's pretty long and can reach all the way back there rather than having to back in. Any recommendations? I was thinking of just getting this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lectron...0-32A/313326058.

Ola posted:Is there a quick way to mute all audio? Perhaps just hold the volume down (i.e. volume left) button? It's one of those things you'd like to do in a hurry now and then. One thing that's nice with the I-Pace is a configurable button on the steering wheel. When I have one from the car sharing service over a few days I set it up so a short press is mute audio, long press is infotainment screen off, nice for preserving night vision. The VW infotainment also has an off button, does the car get angry and throw errors if you switch it off and keep driving? Do you lose the navigation info on the driver screen? I checked this yesterday: you can indeed turn "off" the infotainment by holding the power button; it displays the current time on a black screen.

There are no shortage of options out there with decent ratings, and most of them should be fine AFAIK. If you have a 50amp breaker you can run a 40amp EVSE, although depending on what car you have that might not benefit you (but nice for "future proofing"). That one looks to be somewhat portable. If you want American or Canadian made, more of a permanent style, there are some options out there too. I got the Grizzl-E non-smart version, seems to be good, was $420 with a 24 foot cord, Canadian made. I don't see it on Amazon currently (I bought it direct from them), was gonna verify they still have good reviews but now I can't see it, hmm. Technically I can pull a pin and bring it with me, but it's in a big rectangular box, so not super portable except for emergencies. ClipperCreek is American made and well recommended, a bit more pricey.

I randomly happened to be sitting behind a first gen RAV4 EV (RHD so probably imported from Japan?) in traffic the other day. Pretty cool SUV, and even cooler if the Wikipedia is correct and it's a pretty rare car. I like that the woman driving it had her kid in a car seat and was using it like it's just any other car.

The range is only 115ish and it doesn’t fast charge, but those don’t hinder us much. We like the interior volume a lot - when I compare current EVs I haven’t seen anything with the same interior cubic volume in the back, which we fill up with backpacking stuff a lot. After 6 years of ownership were still at $0 on repairs. It’s a keeper.

For any other Tesla owners in the thread, Tesla updated the iOS app yesterday, not sure about Android. App is way faster, layout is better and it supports command queuing instead of having to wait for the car to wake up before sending inputs. You can quickly open app, tap HVAC and then minimize it again. Such a small thing but a nice change. It's too bad Apple neutered iOS widgets so that they can't fire off commands directly without loading the app. By the way what the hell happened with the Mazda MX30? I was reading that are "pausing" the rotary extender addition, leaving them with a 35kWh battery based CUV that will do 160KM for ~40k USD. Just seems like a massive fuckup or a compliance vehicle. Maybe both?

Likely very low sales numbers. At least in Europe you need to actually sell cars for them to count towards the emissions goal, just having some models on offer no one buys is useless.

My phone didn't grab the update on its own, had to manually get it from the app store by searching for the app. My favorite change so far is the ability to see my Supercharging history from the app.

Thanks for the pointer at Grizzl-E, I've just ordered one direct from them (free shipping). Semi-portable, 24 foot cable, and no need for Yet Another loving App... sold! I've already installed 3 apps since getting the car: Electrify America, Chargepoint, and VW CarNet (aka DLC for your car, though to be fair there's not a lot of stuff in there...). They all suck in their own way.

Then all the reviewers can say "this is what it should have been in the first place".

VideoGameVet posted:don't care. if you've ever ridden in a DS you would know. There are certain cars whose existing ‘mission statements’ are only further reached by switching to electric drive The DS is a good example. Like if you feel *anything* in that car except for ‘calm delight’ it’s not doing its job. Eliminating a motor that needs to be vibrationally dampened only makes that job easier. Same thing with like an E Class or Volvo wagon. Make an E Class wagon electric with a ~4.0 sec 0-60 and it’s basically the perfect E Class. Or anything in the Rolls Royce/Bentley category. That’s a car that only becomes better in every single way with electric drive.

Yeah it'd be cool to get an off lease one for 1/3rd the price. I love my short range car but from what I've seen the MX-30 charges even more slowly than my 27kWh car, lol
