This is interesting As I was wondering what the chemistry of this battery is. Why AGM/lead acid ilo lithium ion? It has been awhile since I have worked with AGM batteries but isn’t a 100% SOC for these batteries ~13.2-13.6 VDC? Also, it is best that this type of battery has a charging cycle that...
Thank you for making this point Allinev. And they have been subsidized for for~100 years. And this does not include the ”indirect” subsidies (I forget the exact term) or avoided costs for things like health related issues. If you mention this to most folks who are not avoiding fossil fuels...
Apology accepted Dude ;) . I think that we can all agree that towing with anEV is currently not the “optimal “ method. However, given improvements in battery and possibly other components, this will improve incrementally.
I have a 2023 R1T Quad with factory 21” Pirelli. With about 14k miles, about 3k of which is towing a small trailer, I am averaging 2.54 kWh/mile. Northern Illinois.
I would like to thank those that have replied to my post and hope that we can keep this non-political, at least to the extent possible So that it continues.
I am an old codger (for better or worse) and realize that things move along much, much, much faster than when I was young. I think that...
I have seen headlines, but have not read the articles stating that Stellantis will probably be bought out, possibly by Chinese investors. Any thoughts on this?
I was a PV contractor for 25 years and have been retired for five years now.
I doubt that the basic physics of a photovoltaic cell have changed since I retired. PV. Voltage and current from a cell will vary mainly with irradiation and temperature. In order to harvest the maximum mount of power...
I agree. Front right would be right at the wall charger in my small garage. If I get an R2, I reckon that I will need to back it in. And I think that curbside charging is a relevant factor.
Totally opposite for my dog, Okie. He got anxious (panting and drooling) on even short rides in my previous vehicles and , unfortunately, needed med on longer trips. Now he is very , very content in his back seat. Calm, cool, collected. Thank you Rivian.
