The only gear you don't want to leave it sitting in is Neutral. I'm honestly not sure what happens in that case. My guess would be it shuts...
Our power is pretty cheap, and pretty low carbon here in Phoenix. Down side is all our rivers are dammed up, and the US's 5th largest city is...
Ok, thanks for the update. Guess I need to look at my bill more often :rolleyes: I used 9c because thats what the Gov't and local utilities seem...

When all 8 bars are full, the battery is at ~80% SOC. When all the bars are empty its at ~40% SOC. By default the controller tries to maintain...
You can't kill them, but they will slowly bleed you to death. (Says the former owner of a '79 244 with 250k miles on it). I would think you...
