I like the dash "in pieces" picture. Not knowing what your dash looked like before I too am curious about the 'light' in the dash and does it come with an EV switch. I hope so since my base has no Cruise Control. Have fun on the drive home. I should have some news on mine tomorrow

Hell if I knew this was going down I would have overnighted MY mobile broadband and webcam to him if he promised to point it at his MFD for the trip home!

I'm back home.

No data on the MPG because the breaker tripped some time last night when they was charging the pack. I did get about 10 miles of 100+ mpg on the highway for a total of about 70mpg for that 10 or so miles.

There is two small issues with the screen when the battery is on. I will go into detail when I write things up.

I did not get the welcome package today but it should be in the mail and I should get it here in a week or two. I think they provide a power cord according to the manual. I really haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

I'm pretty busy this week but I will try to get part of my write up posted in the next day or two. I have to work tomorrow and it will be my first commute with the pack. I will make a quick update on my trip MPG. Then Friday I think I will be entering my car in a local car show if it don't rain. I work Saturday and Sunday evening. Then Monday and Tuesday I'm off. Monday or Tuesday I would like to do a full EV only test of the pack. Just depends on if it rains.

Thats all for now. I have to go out and plug in my car.

Here is a little something you can read while I write things up over the next few days.

This is the user guide I got with my battery. Its about 5.5MB. Sorry for the large file size.

Thanks Jay,

The manual is printed and I'm going to read it tonight. Don't bother printing the manual. The information contained can be easily read in front of the computer. It is pretty light reading. The only thing that stood out, was not to carry an excessive amount of liquid in the hatch.
