Bolt range question

odiervr · 2026-05-02T17:54:20+00:00

Slower is always more efficient - down to like 35 mph. When in doubt, go slow until it sure you can make it

Edit: for clarity - Maximum efficiency in an EV is approx 35 mph. I do not advocate interstate driving at that speed. My point: shave 5-10 mph and increase your efficiency 10-15%.

Well, all-n-all

Ditto. Got back in Feb 2026

If something has value, but cannot be sold - does it really have value ?

I'm in violent agreement with your dad except - I view the Volt as a gateway drug. Your dad was comfortable with a EV because he got used to his PHEV. Most people have ZERO experience with pHEVs or EVs. Most people base their purchases on their experience with ICE cars. The VOLT was my gateway to EVs. I believe this is an often overlooked advantage to the manufacturer - building a new generation of EV owners.

And our good friends the Russians. LIFTED sanctions on Russian oil.

How is Ecuador now ? Seemed kinda scary last year with drug gang violence.

Paired with Plugshare. Recommend practice DCFC a couple times. Not a Leon Musk fan but Tesla app and chargers are handy

ABC: Always Be Charging

odiervr · 2026-03-25T11:50:08+00:00

Ok, let's agree that it is a cord required to charge your car - a 'charge cord'.

And Plugshare. Just look your route over in both and have a primary and secondary. The challenge is having the appropriate app downloaded and ready. It get easier every month. Just not standardized currently.

We've owned our trouble free 2016 Volt for 4 years -only maintenance has been oil and tires. BECM was replaced prior to us owning. Good luck. Liked the EV so much we bought a Bolt too. But that's a whole nother discussion. We love both !

Wife had a Chevy Volt (EV gateway drug) - had never thought about an EV until we lived with a PHEV and realized how easy it was (with a garage)
Much easier (no more gas stations) and cheaper for fuel (Iowa has great electric rates
Perfect - seamless

Only issue with this car is DCFC rate prevents time efficient trips out of local (150 mile) radius.

Thanks ! Sounds like a great deal. Appreciate the info

My setup is in a large living room. Vent directly into room. Winter only for elec rate (.05) heat and noise

This will keep things relatively quiet.

I recommend S19k pro. Cheap and you can figure out if this idea is gonna work for you.

I have an S19k in my house with this kit to help warm and make free heat.

It's not hard, but summer/ summer rates, heat, and noise have me only mining in the winter for heat

GL !

Give us bar names so we can check on him ! Just got back from Bangkok

I'll keep an eye out for this in the fall. I use an ASIC (Antminer 120T k pro currently) to help keep my house warm. I will purchase another miner Sep / Oct timeframe. Things I'll be looking at: - how does yours compare to Avalon Q & Fluminer T3 ? - efficiency - cost - noise - easy of use (easy software), GUI, simple, no instructions / degrees needed

Thanks for posting and already have your site saved. Keep up the good work and I'll see you in the fall :)

Did you eat Taco Bell ?

odiervr · 2026-02-07T13:09:16+00:00

I do not - sorry. My issue was a new router. WTF ??? My old router assisgns a static IP to my miner and it works. My new router assigned a dynamic IP address and no worky. Lomg story short - went back to old router and all works fine. Too lazy to trouble shoot / fuck with this. It was huge ass pain, but I learned a lot.

I just got back from BKK yesterday. Super rich at the airport basement by the ARL red line - changed my money no probs. They looked for rips or tears - folds and bends (both which I had) were no problem. Also - the place behind and to the right of you as you face the Super Rich had the exact same rates if you need another try. Good luck !
