The great feature that would significantly extend battery life is of course only charging to 80%. Tesla now recommend 80% down from 90% for its NMC/NCA higher performance batteries. Battery University points out that 3.92 volts is the optimum charge for a lithium ion battery which removes al...
The avoid that damage Hertz moved the EVs to the leisure fleet; what vacationers use. That group not wanting to deal with charging on the vacay, were less likely to rent them. Kenny94945 said:↑ I did not see the answer as to why drivers of Teslas crash more. ...
Many components, besides the power steering pump, steering box, and a series of hoses, make up the system. So, whenever one fails, it causes a squeaking noise when you turn. Moreover, if your car is relatively old, the issue is likely related to hoses and pumps that need to be repl...
Kia and Hyundai continue to offer some of the most affordable, efficient electric vehicles on the market. The Niro EV is one of the cheapest EVs you can lease this month at just $129 per month. Meanwhile, the new2025 IONIQ 5(now with more range and a Tesla NACS charging port) and ION...
Anyway, I’ve been praising BYD for a while now, but nothing prevents other battery cell makers to start producing long cobalt-free prismatic battery cells. SVOLT knows it and already has a long 226 Ah cobalt-free NMX battery cell that automakers can order today. ...
I can't put the fridge on a non-GFCI outlet (legally), because it is located in a bathroom. Click to expand... There is no way it cost thousands to squeak a 20A 240V circuit in. Even in the Bay Area. Ok now you’re sharing the bathroom GFCI, Fridge and EV charging on the...
A 2,000 lb. electric city car (that’s the entire car, not just the battery pack) has a “carbon footprint” a fourth or less the size of the energy hog EVs just mentioned. And a third or less that of the typical compact-sized, two-ton electric car such as a Tesla3. ...
But charging a Tesla is not a centralized task. Its distributed -- even more so than an ICE since a Tesla can refuel at home (and very few ICEs can). I have over 17,000 miles on my Tesla now -- with only 400 of those miles from Superchargers and perhaps another 400 from o...
While Tesla can be seen as a direct threat to Uber in the robotaxi arena, Uber and Waymo are collaborating in cities like Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta, where Uber manages the fleet and operations of Waymo vehicles, including maintenance and charging. ...
Third,Tesla is opening Superchargers to everyone. Non-Tesla owners can use a growing number of Supercharger stations to charge their car for a monthly or per-use fee. It's a frictionless experience, and it results in lower charging costs and better reliability for everyone who drives an EV....
