This would allow full usage of higher power L2 chargers in remote areas. Would be more commonly desired for more rural areas, where high power L2s are a better solution than DCQCs. Suppose I'm going here: 501 3 Ave, Fernie, BC V0B 1M0, Canada There is a 70 A 230V L2 charging station there...

I'd like to know the actual battery temperature when driving up and down steep mountain roads, on long trips with multiple DCQC sessions, etc. On a warm day, I arrive at DCQC station after a long drive. If the battery is near the upper temperature limit, the charging current seems to me to be...

Is there secure way of knowing remaining battery capacity including history that is easy to access? Secure, meaning can't be reset by a used car dealer or anyone else. A history makes events like a new battery install transparent to the potential buyer of a car. Must be accessible without...

Ok, assume flat terrain. We agree that friction brake use is worse. Maximum regeneration rate slowdown is next worse. As the car will be charging the battery at the maximum rate allowed at that speed, the losses are Resistance *Imax*Imax. So rather than capturing all of the kinetic energy, you...

This is an interesting topic to think about. The answer depends on a lot of things, many of which I don't know. A very short list: 1) As the battery charges faster when empty than when full, having a lower charge level that your arrive at the charger lets you drive faster. So how much margin do...

A road trip with an EV is somewhat different than a road trip with an ICE car. Taking an EV on a trip beyond the range of the car takes some planning and some new knowledge. Once you have done it a few times, it will be easier. It is not as easy as driving an ICE long distance. BEVs are easier...
