    12V battery

    Is the 12V battery be hooked to charger when the car is parked? Especially when the car is connected to the shore power. This way, it can greatly enhance the lifetime of the 12V battery. If the answer is no, then why? I kinda remember this question was raised somewhere. But I can't find it...

    Now that 100kwh is around the corner

    as owners, how large would you like your battery pack be? Such question might have been raised. i am raising this again since 100KWH is coming. I, for one, would vouch for the following capacity: 120KWH in the near future given it is priced "reasonably". Longer term, a 400 or 450 mile real...

    407etr, am I asking too much?

    Goverment of Ontario is pushing hard to adopt EV. Green plated vehicles are allowed on HOV lanes without a passenger, and will be allowed in the future to drive on tolled HOV Lane. What I am proposing is it can allocate additional fund letting EVs drive on 407 for free, maybe with some...

    Battery pack heater

    Right now, firmware does not allow turning on battery heater alone. I know some people have put forward such a request on the firmware. I will second that. Coupling cabin heater with battery heater is kinda awkward design. Since under range mode, battery heater can be controlled to a limited...
