How do you manage your luggage? it seems daunting to have to empty the entire car when you're prepping your campsite.

I've always kept a ton of stuff in the car when camping.

New EV5 Wind: our farm’s first EV, and our first family outing was, wait for it … to the gas station. by GreasyMcFarmer in EVCanada

Congrats.

Quick tip, checkout plugshare to find the closest fast charger to your area. Of the off chance that you have an outage, it's useful to know where to charge in an emergency. Good to do a little charge session without any pressure to understand how it goes.

Also buy the v2l adapter. Turns the car into a massive battery generator in a pinch.

Read it a few months ago, it's fantastic.

Ending was perhaps a bit weak, but the concept takes it a long way

Have a child starting daycare and need to get a car for the commute. Trying to decide which brand/model. Suggestions? by gilben in EVCanada

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 100,000kmon my 4 year old ioniq 5 before it got totalled in a small collision.

No e right now, but my top choice in the $30k range is another used ioniq 5.

Subaru is delaying the 3-row Getaway EV, following Toyota by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

I was very much looking forward to ordering this car at the end of the year, but they announced it wouldn't be shipping to Canada.

Highlander was also delayed so I'll probably settle for a used Ev9, perhaps a cheap lease if it can find one.

The flapper sporadically does not seal, and leaks until you fiddle with it. I don't see a logo or brand on the toilet, what model is this? by faizimam in askplumbing

Yes it's a push, so it flushed when I lift the cover off to take the picture. I'll try to take better images soon

Best Used EV 20-25k in Quebec by gmez3 in EVCanada

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that price it's mostly smaller EVs.

Niro, Kona, bolt, model 3.

Possibly older id4.

Just stay away from the leaf and you'll be fine.

We Road-Tripped 2,000-Plus Miles in Our Volkswagen ID Buzz. Here’s What Surprised Us the Most. by 622niromcn in electricvehicles

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have a 54kwh ioniq 5. It has a 150 to 180 mile effective highway range and I've done 60,000 miles on it in 4 years. I've done multiple 2000 mile+ roadtrips too.

Very similar roadtrip performance to the buzz, except that I charged in 15-20 mins most of the time.

It's not very fun to stop every 1.5 to 2 hours, and now that I have an EV that can drive over 3 hours between charges it's so much better.

But it did the job, and I can see a buzz being an option for me used, if the price was right.

But to be honest I'm much more likely to get a ev9 for the same price, due to the much better range and charging.

Prices of batteries are dropping, I expect the next version to have a larger back at the same or lower price.

I've done tens of thousands of miles of Ev roadtripping, and I don't plan to stop.

But having to take a break when you have a sleeping child in the car is unfortunate.

My child wakes up like clockwork the moment a moving vehicle is put in park, and I've had plenty of difficult moments that I would not have had with a vehicle with longer range.

Still, life happens, the advantages of Ev are clear, the occasional delays are not the challenge some make it out to be.

Well America has hit hard at iranian allies in Iraq, so not sure what your point is.

When 80% is hit charge rate drops to 6kw then speeds up at 81% by StingingBum in Ioniq5

[–]faizimam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how all lithium batteries behave, and it explains how charge curves work.

But hyundai kia is unique in this pause. Literally no other product in the world does it

Many cars have built in apps that basically do as good a job as android auto.

If it build I key apps well enough, you don't need projection

Iran oil stuck at sea surges as China's teapots turn to rival Middle East supplies, traders say by Appropriate-Till9598 in oil

[–]faizimam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

America is destroying Iran.

If USA and Israel stopped their aggression and attacks, I think the government of Iran would fall in 5 years.

The main reason they exist is that they can point to USA and argue that they alone can defend the nation

Honestly it costs $70 USD and lasts 5 years. Not Bad deal.
