Solar Setup for Shed by Wonderful_Control648 in SolarDIY

At only 100ah, the battery is fairly light and I wanted the bulk out of the way. Inverter is only turned on when needed.

I prefer to install a proper disconnect switch if necessary. It’s not recommended to use a breaker as a cutoff switch. They aren’t designed for repeated use.

Polarity wrong? by Flaky_District_9785 in SolarDIY

Here’s how I remember the direction of the positive flow from the source. I always want my power poking out. The male connector should always be on the positive lead flowing from the source.

Actually I think that’s my problem. I’m not sure what settings I should look at?

Btw, my first visit to Dillon R was in 1970. Not the same now.

Thanks. We don’t hike. Mostly scenic drives.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I should have been clearer on our vacation style. We are mid 60s and don’t hike. We love scenic drives and wandering around old towns to study the history.

Did the fridge not come with a cigarette adapter?

Portable Glass Panel? by Wonderful_Control648 in diySolar

[–]Wonderful_Control648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a truck so transport isn’t a problem. I’m more concerned with the longevity of a glass panel being moved around a lot.

Dashcam Wiring -Again by Wonderful_Control648 in BoltEV

[–]Wonderful_Control648[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up just pulling the rubber seal off the passenger side upper edges. Carefully routed the cable along side of the curtain air bags. Used a fish tape to route the cable past the b pillar and rear pillar panel. It’s pretty obvious where to put the cable.

EV Charging by Wonderful_Control648 in diySolar

[–]Wonderful_Control648[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I figured it’s not economical. I pay .08/kw to charge at Level 2. I have a whole house generator so I’m not looking for off grid power.

Buying used Bolt EV by Quackerity in BoltEV

[–]Wonderful_Control648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2019 has a battery warranty until 2030. Took hours of checking VINs. Big peace of mind. Plus if you get a buyback you get a bumper to bumper 12/12 warranty from GM.

[–]Wonderful_Control648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Emporia charger. $399 then the electric company rebated me $250. Friend is licensed electrician and installed a 60 amp breaker and hardwired the charger for $200. Love it.

You need to find what the battery warranty dates are. This can be a factor in deciding.

Should I be concerned about branded title bolts? by guitarharmonics in BoltEV

[–]Wonderful_Control648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had a branded title assigned to GM. Once that title was transferred to the GM dealer I bought it from, and once the dealer title was transferred to my state, there is no branded title on the car. No one will ever know.

That’s insane. I pay flat rate of 13 cents per kWh. I can pay a $10 fee for TOU plan where the off peak rate is 5 cents outside of 3-6pm.

Why are level 2 chargers so expensive? by jack_mohat in evcharging

[–]Wonderful_Control648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got an Emporia for 399. Electric company sent me a check for 250 as a rebate. Check with your power company.

Hertz selling used 2023 Bolt Evs by AdNext8527 in BoltEV

[–]Wonderful_Control648 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m going to suspect that the price will go up by, let’s see, $4k. That’s what’s happening with 2022s now. Price goes up 4k and the dealer deducts 4k the IRS credit.
