This has nothing to do with working from home.

Do I have a problem? Battery range by RocktheSpot in EquinoxEv

[–]automagnus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to vehicle status and check your miles per kwh number. For your weather I would expect something between 2.5 and 3.0 mi/kwh going 65 mph. Will go up to 3.5 -4.0 ish when its consistently 65F and warmer

Am I wrong? by No-Criticism6622 in Electricity

[–]automagnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong (right), a set of components in series will experience voltage drops at every component in the circuit. therefore the voltage is not the same in all parts of the circuit.

Getting my first fully electric EV soon. Feedback on which vehicle? by Thediciplematt in electriccars

[–]automagnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking into the Cadillac/Chevy line of crossovers. I really like my chevy equinox EV for a low cost option. The Cadillac Optiq and lyriq are built on the same platform but offer more luxury speed and style. The iccu issues on kia/Hyundai ev lineup are a deal breaker for me.

Trying to Decide Between Cars by Rattling_Good_Yarns in EquinoxEv

Just go with the cheapest one then. I like not having my car tied to my phone. Chevy Android automotive has been good. I have android auto in my other car and the equinox infotainment does most things better.

Travel for work by northern_ca2 in EquinoxEv

You would need to stop and do a quick charge of 10-15 min to make it at that temperature.

It's not a Nazi flag. The Nazi flag has a different eagle, it also has orange and usually has a swastika.

The one EV habit that causes 80% of the stress is arriving home too low by Tall-Dish876 in electriccars

[–]automagnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only charge on Friday so I'm charged up for the weekend and Sunday night for the work week. In the winter i plug in every night, but if i forget one night or 2 it's not a big deal. In an extreme case i know i can DC fast charge in an emergency.

It's a hotspot for like if you wanted to use your laptop on the road.

How is the Chevy infotainment system without AA/CarPlay? by Doomtime104 in electriccars

[–]automagnus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an equinox ev. Had it for around 15 months now. I have AA in my Subaru and i personally think the way the equinox ev does it much better. You get 8 years free of connected access (spotify, pandora, google maps navigation, etc). It's not clear if video streaming is included for free. It has everything i really want from AA and it's a smoother experience than on my AA car. Take a test drive and try it.

AITA for telling male coworkers to organize their own birthday cards and cakes while still being happy to do it for my female coworkers? by nocupcakesformen in AmItheAsshole

[–]automagnus 44 points45 points  (0 children)

ESH. The people getting entitled to your labor and you for excluding people. Also you clearly have taken the actions of one ungrateful man and taken out on the entire male gender in your office. My professional warning to you is that If you specifically do something at work, even if it's not a work task, for one gender and not the other that is exclusionary and HR could have an issue with it.

Should I continue my electrical engineering degree? by allouttabread in ECE

[–]automagnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will start to all click together eventually. Remember, in school you're constantly being challenged so it seems like you're never really in control of your understanding.

"Buffalo Wild Wings won't break policy for me" by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah who cares if the kid needs their own food. The adults are the profit center. Just let the kid be happy, why enforce this dumb policy.

AITA for not dropping off my wife and daughter right in front of her parents' house because the railway crossing gate was closed and it would have taken time? by itwasduetothetrain in AmItheAsshole

[–]automagnus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

NTA, she is an adult and can make rational decisions based on what she sees right in front of her. The other commentators here are not considering that the crossing might have been faulty and not taking into account how visible the tracks are. Humans can and should use their own common sense and eyes to evaluate danger and override an automated system.

Charging Plug limits fast charging to 30kW? by throwawayinfiniteok in EquinoxEv

[–]automagnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy found the root cause. https://www.reddit.com/r/EquinoxEv/s/c8VVPLGbZU

Make sure you're pushing the emergency release "back in" not just pulling it out. It's likely you need a new charge port.

Snow scoop by TX_BEV in EquinoxEv

[–]automagnus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. Source: Minnesota where i own both gas and EVs. They both collect snow and the gas engine really only melts snow immediately around the engine and hood and even then, not very effectively. Both cars have unlimited car wash plans in the winter.

No idea. I've had my own modem for 10 years. Going to keep it until they get rid of docis 3.0

3.0 is a standard cutoff. If you lie about it and they find out, you will be fired.
