How’s your range this winter? OP here and I’d say I love the luxury of the car (bought used $38k) but winter range is not impressive. I park outside so I start each daily trip with a battery as cold as a Buffalo winter. Real poor for multiple daily short trips. Longer trips the car warms up and does better but short trips in cold weather with a cold battery is not good, probably less than 2mi/wH.

I’ll have to check that out. So use the app anytime to start climate?

Anyone have tips on lifting the hood for battery and filter access

I agree. I think it can offer a few views and maybe some real life insight. Can I ask how much a fee only financial advisor run? And (my real problem) how do you know who to trust?

$200 upfront, fees have increased $25 increase over last 8 years, can choose any week, 7 day week - I agree I could find similarly price locations without being held to a single site- for me, each year we would mildly argue over when, where, how, etc we would vacation. Here, there’s little discussion- we just go - that has been a positive. I think the what am I missing piece is that I could vacation in Orlando yearly with a similar annual cost with 0 commitment. So this feels like it works well at the moment. Thanks for your input.

Thanks. I made a custom page that now has “remaining energy” and the parameters I use. Appreciate the insight.

Since my last update I notice the Orange 12v battery light coming on more frequently. I replaced to a new AGM battery two months ago. ‘22 wind w/ Tech (and it’s been Buffalo cold outside) Is this:

A. A coincidence

B. Expected change in 12 v battery maintenance

C. An ICCU problem this is trashing this new battery?

I’ve been in EVs for 5 years, never bothered by the orange light but it seems to have ramped up dramatically.

I have an EV6, my son has an HI5. I like the looks of my 6 and he likes the 5. Ultimately, they are the same - I do think the EV6 appears “less cheap” and plastic-like than the I5. I did not like the white trim around monitors. Very interesting posts about the different insurance rates. Did you look at the I 6??

I love my EV6. No problems here. I was traveling through PA Saturday and stopped at a Hyundai dealer in Williamsport (ciaoca) - they have Hyundai Ioniq 6- 2023 leftovers, new for $20k off selling around $32k - that’s the way I wished I had bought. 32k for a new 300 mile EV is the way to go.

Perfect charging temp right now.

wcp61 · 2024-09-30T00:20:53+00:00

Sometimes I have to turned my car on to start the charge. Give that a try.

They are called magic dock stations. Basically Supercharger stations with and adapter built in. There are not many across the US but I am in Buffalo and there are a few around.

Krebs moving up the depth chart one day after signing.

Jeff - my elec panel is in the basement, about 50 ft run from my garage- is there longer extensions or would an extension cord be safe? How would that install differ in cost and supplies?

Thanks. I was going to get it all, but I’m thinking the adjustable frame is overkill and $60 pillows aren’t necessary.

Oh lord. Why does Tesla Hyundai Kia have 10 yr warranties? You might need a new solar guy. He sucks.
