Separate names with a comma.
My first suspicion is that this fuel pump may have cut out earlier than the previous fuel pump, producing a very inaccurate MPG calculation. What...
I had missed this PHEV allowance after the cutoff date, but now see it in CA's descriptions. Though don't yet see the minimum PHEV requirement to...
I'd still try charging the 12V battery first, before moving to replace it.
Can't see your link, but don't tow it with front wheels on the ground. It is not possible to disconnect the engine and 'transmission' from the...
Taking a 185W PV unit, plugging it into NREL's PVWatts calculator to take into account seasonal solar angles and typical local clouds and weather,...
Does your state or utility have a "community solar" program? This is a way for renters to get into solar energy.
^^ ++ PV panels mounted on a rooftop have a far higher utilization factor than any mounted on a car: better average pointing direction, less...
That chart tells you the current 'state of the art' efficiencies of all the PV chemistries currently in use or development. From it, you can...
Take your pick from this chart: https://www.nrel.gov/pv/assets/pdfs/best-research-cell-efficiencies.pdf
My DIY electrical work is also to code. The service panel is in the garage, luckily this PHEV naturally parks with its charging receptacle next...
Protection is built in to the ECUs and battery management system. Without such built-in protections, the manufacturer would not be able to afford...
I see wire ampacity charts that rate 16 gauge copper wire being good for up to 18 amps, though only with certain insulations, specifically those...
It is never "too late" as long as you are drawing a paycheck. It just gets harder with lower likely return, each year or month the start is...
... and even that is well above what my household is willing to pay, though we did elect for lower mobile and internet service levels, and get TV...
So you are driving only 7k miles per year. My PHEV replaces a hybrid and displaces a non-hybrid that were together averaging slightly over 20k...
My first dad was very good at evaluating and buying used cars, but passed away when I was too young to learn it from him. Second dad had many very...
A car is constantly depreciating, wearing out, and/or needing repairs. So it makes sense to roll this cost into the budget and continually be...
I think you mean, much of the motoring public feels that way. Along with vehicle size, I take typical traffic speeding as an indicator that those...
That car is still just a baby. We can revisit this again sometime between 100k and 250k miles.
Just beware that on very tall hills, the automatic D-mode engine braking may be too light to prevent friction brake overheating. B-mode engine...
