I'd buy a BEV in a heartbeat if batteries didn't suck so bad. I'm an EE specializing in power, did my thesis on a permanent magnet direct drive...
If I wanted them merged, I would use multi quote. Posts with multi quote are harder to read and make the thread harder to follow. So I don't use...
The one I test drove had one.
As I said, they don't take them. They take conventional cars because they know their BEVS can't do the job. Would you drive your Teslave on a...
What's wrong with "poor range" or "low range"? It's not a mental thing, it's real. A conventional car with a 300 mile range is considered...

The manual says not to use a high pressure washing system around the charge door because water could get inside. I couldn't find anything about rain.
Funny you should mention high winds. I work in wind energy research and at a place with extreme winds for testing. I've had a side window in my...
I use AWD generally below 15mph. Doesn't help you stop. That's why I like the E-Four option for the G4 Prius. It's just for lower speeds and...
