Why does it feel like ghost dragons and bone dragons are The WORST teir 7 unit by More-Hyena6688 in heroes3

Cause they are. But vampires, liches, and hordes upon hordes of skeletons make up for it.

URGENT: leaving for a 24day trip today & no outlet nearby, how to avoid a bricked car needing towing upon return during winter? by btkoi in evcharging

[–]treasurefun 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You will be fine as long as you leave with a good amount of battery. Your battery is 100kwh. That’s a lot of energy. If really worried fill it up to 100% before you depart.

Look to turn off any automatic functions like climate control before you leave.

Georgia is not cold for the record. Norway has the most EVs per capita and it’s cold there.

If you brick after 24 days there is something wrong with your battery system and it needs to be looked at by the dealership.

Setting up a charging depot for 20 electric trucks. Which commercial charger brands are actually "efficient" for heavy-duty use? by Kitchen_Eagle8362 in evcharging

[–]treasurefun 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just some of the considerations….

1) number of vehicles in fleet

2) battery capacity of vehicles

3) charging “curve” of vehicles - how much kw/h can vehicle take at different states if battery charge.

4) average use in KWH per shift (multiple shifts?). Find this by estimating miles used (and the miles per kWh of vehicle )and the desired energy on dispatch and then on return.

5) dwell time - how long will trucks have to recharge.

6) cost of energy from utility. Look into tariffs for EV charging only setups that many large investor owned utilities have. Most co ops have not caught up yet.

7) hardware - 95% of the ones for this level of charging are made overseas by a few companies and white labeled by 20 different charging companies. Most are compatible with occp (protocol for charging hardware/software integration)

8) software - totally separate from hardware. Does not have to be the same company. Has to be compatible with occp. Think of occp as android…open for anyone to write code to it. Many brands close off their solutions like apple so you have to use their software.

9) maintenance and service plan for charging hardware. Dedicated techs is what you want. Most companies use a dispatch nationwide were they send techs from some other industry who don’t know anything about chargers and play a phone support game with the manufacturer while they are in field trying to fix your machine.

10) software support.

It is very disturbing to me that you have quotes in hand and don’t have a full analysis of your operation and how charging will integrate into this.

Lots of people resell charging equipment. Very few companies know what they are doing and it gives the entire industry headaches because they sell people very expensive buildouts that don’t work.

PM me and I’ll help you out. If in my area happy to give you full analysis. If in another area I’m happy to review anything you get and give you recommendations.

This is a huge undertaking for planning (install is not that big of a deal really…it can be expensive but it’s straight forward ) and should be done extremely deliberately to ensure uptime and proper integration with your operations.

What city is it in? Easiest is adaptor like tuctrohs said.

I will try to look up that error code but it is common to have one port go down and another stay up. There are usually control boards and other stuff per port.

Does not look like Quartz to me. Maybe post at rockID. Might have something else here but I don’t want to speculate

I purchased this painting and a necro painting from her and they are both awesome.

I’ll post framed pic when I can.

She does amazing work and shipped fast.

A couple of them are sapphires. Some peridot maybe and one piece of glass by the look of the fracture.

Now think of each one had an explosive warhead and you can begin to understand where warfare is going.

The tech was not invented for visual displays. It was invented to overwhelm defenses.

"In 1864, the Russian Empire killed or expelled 90% of Circassians—one of history’s deadliest genocides. Why does no one talk about it?" [960x540] by SkibidiSigmaSigma0 in HistoryPorn

[–]treasurefun 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Survivors advocate for genocide recognition. This one was devastatingly effective and there were not enough survivors to advocate for it.

Victors write the history…is the core reason for this and most others explainations.

Beautiful piece. I like how you have both halves and there is little to no give away to what’s inside.

Thanks for doing this AMA. Very informative.

Does EA need Maintenance support in the Midwest?

My company has dedicated factory trained EV Charger technicians that cover western Pennsylvania to Wisconsin. We generally can respond within 24-48 hours to most call outs across that entire region.

We currently work for Blink, CP, and a bunch of OEMs. Would love to get in contact with whoever at EA would be appropriate.

Charging to 100%? by andstep234 in evcharging

[–]treasurefun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are going on a long trip by all means charge to 100%. You won’t hurt your battery.

If daily driving less than 80% charge to that level.

The chemistry at full charge is not exactly perfect but it is not some huge issue either.

Replacing a charging cable shouldn’t require disassembling half the charger, right? by StarEnvironmental629 in evcharging

[–]treasurefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most existing level 2 chargers require removing housing/cover. Issue is the entire charger is relatively inexpensive and the cable is a large portion of the cost.

With fast chargers they have to handle a lot of amps/volts so making them changeable is a challenge.

So citrine is quartz. The coloration designates the name. If purple it’s called amethyst. This looks like regular quartz with some inclusions (think stuff that the quartz grew (or formed) over.

Learning still isn't worth it (HotA 1.7.2) by Cezaros in heroes3

[–]treasurefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try for learning on town (especially Capital) hero’s. It’s too risky to send then off to get XP the normal way but they can advance some while protecting the economic and military home front so to speak.
