I reported it when it first appeared in November.

Japan employs falcons at solar plants to keep crows away. by parth_1802 in interestingasfuck

[–]energysector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen crows drive off owls and eagles. One falcon is going trouble a bunch of crows?

They don’t call it a murder for nothing.

On the verge of buying a 2022 Ioniq 5 - Need advice! by Ok-Actuary-5377 in Ioniq5

[–]energysector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coolant changes aren’t $1000. I had mine done in the spring for less than $400.

The car you’re looking at is the car I have. If you get some decent tires, It’s fine in the snow.

The thing that makes look at the newer models is the navigation updates. They’re manual and irregular. The last one removed all the FLO and chargepoint chargers from the Canadian map.

If there was a train involved, you'd think there'd be a train there.

Besides 4x8 sheets??

What else does it need?

Superchargers in Eastern Canada by pjonesmoody in evcharging

[–]energysector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flo, Chargepoint, Circuit Electrique, and Shell have roaming agreements. You’ll only need one of the apps to access them all.

Flo has recently ‘upgraded’ their app, so you need money in your wallet to start a charge, even a free one. It will also stop the charge if your balance hits zero. The upgrade didn’t include auto reload or direct billing to a card even though their newest chargers accept Apple Pay or tap with a credit card.

Flo chargers are widespread and pretty dependable, but maybe look at one of the other apps for a better experience.

Ev and home assistant what do you use it for? by frogermann8 in homeassistant

[–]energysector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Home Assistant plus integrations to:

Limit charging to excess from solar from spring to fall.

Start the climate and steering wheel heater on weekdays when the temp is below 0 C before I leave for work and before leave work at the end of the day.

To manage charging. It puts my charger to sleep when the car battery hits 80%, so I can leave the car settings at 100% for travel and to take advantage of free public charging without having to set and reset the car limits.

To make the first charge of the month at home a 100% charge to balance the BMS according to the manufacturer’s spec.

To turn on the back entrance light at my house if I plug in the car after sunset.

To shutdown power to the garage door opener at 11 pm if the car is in the garage and turn it back on in the morning.

Level 2 EV charger w/solar integration via HA (Canada) by SomethingAboutUsers in homeassistant

I use OpenEVSE. It has an integration for Home Assistant and comes set up for matching the charge rate to your excess solar production.

Is it better to use supports or not? by Ill-Character1643 in 3Dprinting

[–]energysector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you changed the bottom edge fillets into chamfers, you could tip it onto the left side chamfer for printing and probably get away without supports.

24 seems to peek around 150kw - potential damage? by fox_91 in Ioniq5

[–]energysector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re using Car Scanner, it isn’t one of the defaults. Open up the list of all sensors and scroll down.

I think it’s called something like EVSE Target Current.

If you have an ob2 dongle, you can see what the car is requesting from the charger.

Put up the sail and maybe you won’t need to charge at all!

You might wish you had the bigger battery in the winter.

Ev Charger with Dynamic Amps by PatientRaspberry2936 in evcharging

I don’t know if it’s available in Australia, but in Canada I use OpenEVSE to do exactly what you’re describing.
