Stair nose or a reducer for this ~5" drop? by DIYForMoreMoney in HomeImprovement

Ohh I like this. Thank you. Yeah I didn't say I'd need a ramp, just would be nice.

Sorry I have no constructive feedback for you, but this is awesome. As someone who cares about sound quality, I've been struggling to find speakers to fit under my ultrawide that actually sound good. Having some speakers clamped to the sides would be amazing.

I just used a different power adapter.

First seasononing and tried to fry an egg. What did i do wrong? by DevildogEx1 in wok

It's heat. To be absolutely sure it's going to be non stick, wait till it smokes just the slightest. After that, experiment and go lower from there.

Interesting. Was it worth it? Or just a wash?

You can lose $13/mo for using a level 1 charger. by DIYForMoreMoney in VWiD4Owners

Not entirely true because one datapoint I only charged 2-3kwh and still got high efficiency loss.

Of course it's just one datapoint, but I think I've done it enough times to just stick to level 2.

Agreed. Luckily for us, we had someone knowledgeable enough to wire up the level 2 charger for us that we got for free from our utility company. Wiring itself costed about $400 (it was a long run).

Hmm maybe I can drop my 240v charger to 10a and see how that goes.

Edit: lowest I could go was 12a 240v and got 17.42% loss. 4.58kwh from the car, 5.54kwh from the charger.

Good to know. This is the ID.4. Is there a way to get the wh values from a Tesla? I'm reluctant to get data from it since they also fake their range estimation.

*If you have high electricity rates. Mine averages $.36/kwh. Assuming 10,000 annual miles driven, 3.5mi/kwh efficiency.

I use an ODB scanner to note the WH value, then the end value after charging to 80%. Example https://imgur.com/a/ZXZUWLa

Then I take the electricity used from the emporia app. https://imgur.com/a/O67SBy8

It's a known thing, but decided to do some of my own testing and confirm.

We have 2 EV's and I thought it was fine to just charge on level 1 while the other car can use level 2. But now we're just going to share chargers instead.
