MrVanvandenburg (and all): Yes, for highway driving I've settled on 68MPH or the posted speed limit, whichever is smaller. It was a speed by...
Blizzard_Persona: Yep, you suspect correct! Of the six USB plugs, only one is for comms, the other five are only for charging. The one for...
Blizzard_Persona: I'm on the Android camp and besides the reboots I regularly lose my wireless connection. To try and see if it is Android in...
Mr.Vanvandenburg: Yea, I need to re-run the test without the Kill-a-Watt in the path to separate any of it's losses vs the house wiring. I'm...
Mr.Vandenburg: yes, this was in EV mode and since I didn't get to 0% stayed in EV mode the whole time. will
vvillovv: Ooh, did not know that. I'm not sure the last time I ever drove around midnight, so not a condition I would notice. Good to know...
Yep, I've been having occasional issues too. Anecdotally so far I think all are indirectly related to Android Auto. For two of the issues, I...
Gooj: Interesting point on the battery gauge maybe not being linear. Maybe at some point I will manufacture some additional errands to get the...
BTW, at least for me that feature has an embarrassing bug! The car can't charge across midnight!! If you set a timer that starts before midnight...
OK, after two months of just getting used to driving this car (and enjoying the heck out of it!!), I'm starting to pay attention to efficiency....

vvilovv: Chargepoint and Plugshare are the two apps recommended to me and they seem to complement each other pretty good. I've practiced few...
Thanks all for the good points! For me EV efficiency (miles/KWh) is dominated by altitude change. I happen to live on top of a local hill, it is...
HacksawMark: yea, I've tried Auto HV/EV mode just a few times and it just seems that it sticks to EV mode until the battery depletes and then it...
HacksawMark: Not sure if you notice, but for me it is a bit of a shock hearing the engine suddenly after weeks of in-town errands on electric...
Thanks Leadfoot McCoalRoller (??!!) and John1701a: That seemed the case, but wanted to ask. Yep groceries is a biggie, we have an elaborate...
Good to hear HacksawMark! I've only done a half-dozen or so short trips so far, all under 200 miles. Alas all had more 4000 feet of altitude...
This seems to have an obvious answer, but asking in case maybe I'm missing something. For ICE cars it is pretty obvious and well-understood that...
vvillovv: Ooh, I like the idea of a protective cover for the brick! If this "charging on road trips" turns out not to be a dud, that sounds like...
