Solid advice here..was caught off guard due to complacency really .. having driven the route hundreds of times and nit realizing just how much the uphill route would zap the batteries. Lesson learnt with minimal hurt... I am quite concerned however doing a Nelson trip or something in actual cold...
That was 8 months ago ... arguably this is the most important update outstanding for cabin comfort. Next to drivability.. cabin comfort is the most important thing in a vehicle??
The A/C setup in this truck is archaic and does not know how to blow neutral heat.. it's either super cold or hot...
Nice to see a mention of the A/C being updated but what about the most critical update which is still needed... it's absolutely dumb founding that we cannot control left and right sides (in fact every single zone) independently. With a dog in the back seat, my girlfriend loves blasting the heat...
Totally crossed my mind but the math made less sense based on our proximity to destination.. and honestly I don’t know how much regen truly does make an impact in these conditions. Be curious to determine that. I was trying to utilize regen in any downhill and I was also tailgating where I could...
this is interesting.. and something maybe worth considering, what make and models/parts did you go with to get this working out of curiosity .. anything you’d change or do differently if you re-purchased a setup?
And I really appreciate everyone actually posting some thoughtful feedback here.

Oh man, noted. I won't be bothering with that mini hydro charger - good looking out dude. I totally blanked on all those sick looking chargers in the bay there.. I usually just charge at my house so am still learning the "on-the-go" locations. Cheers
Wow that's an epic journey; biggest variance is hills ... the way from whistler to squamish is much more downhill so the range drop I observed did not hold nearly true on the return trip where you are climbing. I imagined this was going to be the case but not at the alarmingly fast rate that I...
Well, being it's my first post here - let me begin with stating that this is by far and away my own error. With that said, there's a few worthy lessons and data points to share here so I figured I better post while certainly take some heat on. :)
