Ok thanks. It sounds like it's a more gradual hill. I think we're learning that it is possible to charge the battery beyond 100% via small to...
This is cool. Have you tested that it actually works? My charger (flo brand) doesn’t seem to have any idea how charged (%) my car is. It only...
Sounds pretty big. How much charge can you get from it going down? And if you are fully charged before starting down, does your car stay at 100%...
So, you charge up to 100%, then go down a hill without the engine coming on? How big is your hill?
Here are graphs from two more charges. Interesting that they all have those 2 dips in current towards the beginning. Note that these have all...
Ok, I seem to have this problem mostly solved. I've written a script that monitors the L2 charger's website. It tracks the amount of amps going...
The day we bought it was the second day of mud season. I left 3-4" deep ruts most of the way up the hill, and was glad to have not gotten stuck....
ooo... just thought of another workaround (#6): The L2 charger's web interface reports the current charge rate in amps. The car automatically...
Correct!
Second charge is complete, but I haven't driven it yet. It charged up to 90% (from 55). SOC is 76%. Charger recorded 2.40 kWh of energy use....
Right, it wouldn't be an ideal solution to intentionally burn off charge. However, if you're about to go down a hill then the car has a bunch of...
Well, it appears I was at least partially wrong. I can connect to the OBD adapter with the car off. I'm not sure how to get the battery % or...
This is a cool idea. I might be able to set up a single raspi within the house but close enough to the car to get a bluetooth connection. I...
Ok, the first experimental data is in. Last night the battery was at 61%, this morning it was 100%, but it still gave me a warning that the...
Ok, I've setup an experiment. I configured the L2 charger to only function between 4 and 8 AM with it's output limited to 6 amps. At 6A, it...
Tried that, doesn't work. See workaround #1 above.
I'm using a level 2 charger, so fancy outlet timers are a no go. But, the charger does have a phone app through which I can turn it off, and I...
I don't know if it fires the injectors or not, but it will keep the engine on for a good 10 minutes or so beyond the bottom of the hill. And it...
I live up a hill. Driving down the hill will charge the battery about 3% (regen). That becomes an issue when the car is already charged to 100%....
Did you come across anything in your research about the 7" screen used in the plus models? It seems like a different beast. No HVAC, no parking...
