    Vampire Drain Fix: How to solve in under a minute (indoor or outdoor)

    Vampire Drain Fix: How to solve in under a minute (indoor or outdoor)

    You have cheap power!!! Here in California rates are about $0.29 to $ 0.58 per kWh. 3 kWh per day time 365 days is 1095 kWh. So here the cost per year is $317 to $635......That's not chicken feed. I am not sure if that is only 12 volt power that is waisted. Some part of that loss is keeping the...

    Bold statement from PNM, our New Mexico power provider but true ! I have the EV rate and it's 3 cents a kWh between 10PM and 5 AM. My cost is about 1 cent a mile to drive my R1S. I can drive 1,000 miles for about $10 of electricity. That's about 3 1/2 gallons at just under $3.00 per gallon, the...

    Rivian executive acknowledges R1S AC noise problem

    I can say that it is noisy. Mine is noisy when it’s cooling the battery down for charging and cooling the interior. My Ford lightning and Tesla model three also go into that hyper mode and they’re very loud but it’s really hard to tell which ones louder.
