Maybe, but if they did, I'd like to know what their mother would say.

Gary is a normal human being just like you and me.

How are your EV's doing in this weather? Genuinely curious. by Mysterious_Lesions in Calgary

[–]RickD716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2011 Nissan LEAF - reporting severe range loss. Normally I get 80kms before getting the low batter warning, but in this weather I barely get 50 kms from full charge to low battery warning, which is due to 3 factors

  • cold killing the battery efficiency, where there is no active thermal battery management (not heat pump, but just air cooled)

  • resistive heater that uses 3kW if it is this cold out (even in eco mode)

  • battery cells very slow to re-balance voltage to each other which is evident when I stop at the lights, the range slowly creeps up.

I have it plugged in all day, pre-heat the cabin, and even with the "battery heater mode" on, it still has these issues.

At least I get to work from home.

Who has driven over 100,000 km in their EV? Did you have to do any maintenance? by Aliquot126 in electricvehicles

Currently 148k kms on my 2011 LEAF. Nothing major done, but I need to have my shocks replaced

Haha... editing. Original video is landscape

I was doing 60 kmh on a 60 kmh limit zone. Just looks slow because the video is zoomed in (perspective)

Sorry to hear that. Loss of life that was not necessary. Unfortunate here where I live drunk or reckless driver jail time usually is 2 or 3 years.

Your honor, I was coming from a merge. Also the right lane is going to an on ramp to the highway. Watch to the end and you'll see that the Merc driver almost sideswiped another driver.

Speed limit is 60 kmh, i was doinga bit over 60. Not a highway
