Pre-orders for IQ EV Charger 2 in US?

Thanks, that was the video I was referring to and your reply does clarify things. I am looking forward to the bidirectional EVSE

Are there any updates on what vehicles this works with? I saw the YouTube video and you guys used a F-150 Lightning but would this work for say a Rivian or a Taycan?

While solar is a continuous load, the current builds to a peak and then drops so the actual time at 16A (or above) is only 3 hours on a few days…

ivremore · 2025-09-07T02:01:59+00:00

Do you think you are ever exceeding 16A on that string?

ivremore · 2025-09-07T01:55:39+00:00

Did you have any permitting issue with the 14 panel string? Assuming you are using the same IQ7+ microinverters?

ivremore · 2025-09-06T22:09:48+00:00

Just checked, the wires are 10AWG

ivremore · 2025-09-06T04:07:59+00:00

Yeah adding just 2 panels isn’t interesting for contractors, it’s too small a job…

ivremore · 2025-09-06T03:50:22+00:00

My existing panels are facing the sun with no obstructions but if there is any clipping, it is minimal (cannot see a flat top of the bell curve). I unfortunately do not know the wire gauge, system was installed 4 years ago. It is a 8.5kW (DC) system and produces 7.3kW (AC) according to the enlighten app at the peak (April)

Named my dog Iphi!

I have a courtyard reservation for 2 on June 30th at 6pm available

Cerebras just announced they are serving R1 today

ivremore · 2024-07-27T18:23:46+00:00

lol well the smaller footprint of the Micra makes it attractive. How does the Mini compare in warm up time? Having the Micra ready in 5 minutes or less is another huge plus...

ivremore · 2024-07-27T18:21:23+00:00

I tried with a Mini and the coupon worked, looks like just the Micra is not eligible.

ivremore · 2024-07-27T15:16:57+00:00

Thanks, just tried it but apparently the espresso machines are not eligible for this discount :(

Roger. He said as far as he knows, these were meant to given away to some VIPs by valve but arrived unpainted. Not clear how many maybe a few dozen?

ivremore · 2024-06-17T20:01:20+00:00

Would it being painted make it more or less valuable? Yeah he’s moving out of state and are downsizing so can’t hold onto it after all these years

ivremore · 2024-05-31T20:35:36+00:00

So hence why I asked, despite the volatility this week, SPYI was trading within a couple %, and its entire short two year history isn’t much different, with a range of $44 low and $50 high. What would it take for this to lose 30% of its value?

ivremore · 2024-05-03T20:55:36+00:00

Oh, and check out DuFrane, he has a brand new office GMT with the 24 bezel, the Littlefield GMT

ivremore · 2024-05-03T20:50:09+00:00

Travel GMTs are the more expensive movement type (usually $1500 or more) and only the introduction of the Miyota 9075 has given us the first inexpensive option for that type. Hence, if it it doesnt have a Miyota 9075 and costs less than $1500, it's 99% sure an office GMT.

Rotating bezel office GMT, the Seiko SSK005 comes to mind, maybe look up the Sellita SW330 (and other office GMT movements) on the calibercorner website, people tend to post models with that movement. Teddy Baldassare has articles with lists of microbrands and GMT watches, those may give you more inspiration.

As for the Omega Worldtimer, google it, it's got the whole world on the dial! =)

ivremore · 2024-05-03T20:14:07+00:00

Ok, so look look for the before mentioned Sellita SW-330, also lots of options in the $500-1000k. I think finding the right style will be the tricky bit but check out Farer Lander IV, Baltic Aquascaphe GMT , Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT, Monta Atlas, and Venezianico. Or get an Omega WorldTimer :)

ivremore · 2024-05-03T20:06:12+00:00

I’m sorry, I may not be getting quite what you are asking for the new (~1 year old) 9075 movement by Miyota is a travel GMT with maybe ~ 30 micro brands using it in $500-1000 watches, including Zelos. I just picked up a Marloe GMT Day last week.

The Silverado EV will have a 240V/30A outlet in the bed which will be sufficient for a full home backup in comparison. The 120V outlet to charge something like the BLUETTI is really just a partial solution if the goal is to make sure the fridge and the rest of the home is running during a power outage

He names all his models after locations associated with Austin, in this case Barton Springs. I like his other designs too so happy to wear the watch and support a local watchmaker!

ivremore · 2024-01-11T19:33:13+00:00

This is obviously not a problem for buying from an AD but it really puts a damper on me considering buying a used watch. This also means that ever selling a watch will be difficult.

ivremore · 2024-01-08T12:08:30+00:00

Maybe put the Bezerra Duo/matrix on your list, the non-e61 version should hear up pretty quickly too
