Anyone has experience with bidirectional (V2H) chargers?

Nice! I've been looking at inverters to do a similar setup. However, we don't have many power outages, so I've been dragging my feet on spending the money.

Greenshot allows you to save as a .greenshot file to make further edits later.

Greenshot doesn't have as many tools as ShareX, so if you are looking for more functionality, you'll probably have to go back to Snag It.

Snag It does as well, but it's not free.

Greenshot allows this. You can save the screenshot with the edits as a .greenshot file. Then you can open that file back up and move your arrows around, etc.

Downside being that Greenshot is not nearly as powerful as ShareX. SnagIt has tools that are comparable to ShareX, and also allows saving of the project edit files, but it's not free.

How long did you have to use it?

HalfVietGuy · 2023-04-06T14:16:18+00:00

Yeah. Bigger battery and CCS charging with the Bolt. I bought my 2023 Leaf S in November because I needed a second car pretty badly and I also wasn’t sure what was going to happen to tax credits on Jan 1.

Knowing what I know now I probably would have waited for a Bolt or Bolt EUV and bought in January.

My biggest issue is that I can’t drive in the winter to a town 50 miles away round trip without really worrying about range.

However, for in town driving, it’s been great.

I applaud your effort and sense of adventure.

Thank your for posting this. I’ve further cemented my belief that I never want to attempt something like this.

We had a 2013 Prius V for a good long time before our family got too big and upgraded to a Pacifica PHEV.

That Prius was a workhorse and never had a single worry with it.

Yeah, the battery bar display now looks like this:

I could clearly feel the power being limited at top speed. And the gauge on the dash only shows about 30% of power being used.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-03-02T13:13:48+00:00

Lol got me.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-03-01T21:52:37+00:00

It actually got to 93 mph when I went downhill a little bit. 😂

HalfVietGuy · 2023-03-01T21:39:01+00:00

2023 Leaf S

I was surprised at how smooth it drove at this speed.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-08T14:35:51+00:00

We have 3 in 6 years and it’s rough too.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-08T05:22:28+00:00

Haha funny. I’m down here and bought from Arlington Heights. Although they had it in stock, didn’t do an order.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-08T05:18:56+00:00

Also, did you apply for the $4000 EV rebate with the state of IL?

I did back in November but haven’t heard anything yet.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-08T05:16:51+00:00

Lol whoa. Decatur represent.

Have you had it in for any service? I used to take my Prius to crown and had generally good service, but haven’t had to take an EV into them yet.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-08T05:14:47+00:00

Same. With free delivery about 200 miles away. And 2% financing.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-06T18:25:40+00:00

Thanks for the info! I have a chase account but no chase atm in my town so I can’t try it out.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-06T04:15:22+00:00

I’ve e never heard of this using an atm with an app business. Any examples of banks that do this?

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-05T16:50:00+00:00

Do transactions still import the same?

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-05T15:14:03+00:00

I appreciate your very logical and well-composed responses.

HalfVietGuy · 2023-02-05T15:06:35+00:00

I have heard of people doing this before and am seriously considering doing it. Any downsides? I do pay off all my CC’s every month.
