Cocaine is a helluva drug.

It has been reported that the new Leaf will also turn on the brake lights when using the one pedal driving mode (E-Pedal).

That's why there are multiple cameras.

From the comment by "Mark" at Tesla Model 3 Detailed Video Review Finally Surfaces you can see the windshield wiper controls on the left stalk.

Looks like some others are experimenting with liquid cooled cables as well. Inside EVs

Great, now I'm going to be thinking about what 3rd city made up the "South-Central-Pollution-Triangle" in addition to Kettleman City and San Ardo. Only listeners of KTYD in Santa Barbara in the 1970's are likely to get the reference.

There are two forward "gear" settings on many EV's and PHEV's. D usually simulates an automatic transmission as far as lifting off the throttle. L or B (depending on the model) is the high regen setting. It's not a touchscreen setting like on the Tesla, it's the "gear" selector that determines...

There were a couple of problems. One (that mine suffered from) was that the cell phone modem would get stuck on rather than going to sleep, this could drain the 12V battery over a period of a couple of days if the car wasn't driven in that time. There were also some problems with cables getting...

POTUS? I thought it was SCROTUS (Supreme Crotch Rot of the United States)

I've asked them on their Facebook page about the maximum current, also suggested they add it to plugshare.

From the picture on the Grant County Chamber of Commerce's Facebook page, it's a HPWC.

That's what I've found after driving a C-Max Energi for a few years. I keep it in (D)rive when heading down the highway and then shift it to (L)ow? which increases the regen when I get into a congested area or stop and go traffic on the highway. While not the same level of regen as cars with...
