The Y looks like a bloated sedan. But that's just my personal opinion.
Ya, I'm kind of in the same boat. When I think of these designs I see pros and cons, but nothing that says "Buy me because I have mostly pros and...
Exactly! Although in practice, I feel that there is still a majority of drivers, even experienced with years of driving in the snow, that don't...
It's: The car's capability vs. how this affects the driver psychologically. For an example, when braking on ice, an AWD/4WD vehicle and a 2WD...
I do see a relationship between heavy acceleration and propensity to get into accidents. I mainly see this on ice and snow. AWD vehicles...
My guess is that no EV manufacturer actually charges to 100%, which is at least 4.2V (or a tad more). The reason is that just charging to 4.1V or...
There's a lot of manufacturer vs owner going on here. Any manufacturer could build all their batteries "oversized" and limit the chage to say,...
That would not buying a Nissan Leaf. Correct? Otherwise, you have no choice, at least in the USA.
That's one reason I bought a 2013 Leaf. It had the option to automatically stop charging at 80%, which I used when I didn't need to go on long...

The point was that there have been fire sprinklers have been used in freezing locations for years and don't just keep freezing every year. What I...
That is possible but is kind of a waste of weight, cost and space since the Li-ion battery would only charge to around 50%.
That's also true in the USA considering the M3 no longer gets the tax credit but the MY does. So unless you don't qualify for the federal tax...
Maybe it depends on the cell type and what they are defining as 16V Typical lithium ion cells have a max voltage of around 4V (actually 4.2V)...
I've been having problems with the brand new 12V discharging on the Prius. It discharged and then froze and swelled up. I thawed it and then...
Lead acid starting batteries don't die from sub-zero temps. If charged up they can survive -50 °F just fine. When they get to the point they...
