Greg Harvey 🌍<p>Now that we run two <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> cars, we basically use all our solar. I might add another 3kW at some point. There's always at least one car on charge all day (we don't charge at night, there being no sunshine!) ...</p>

Anthony Horton<p>Range anxiety? Not me!</p><p>This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to &lt; 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a></p>

Scooter 🏳️‍🌈 ⚽ 🚴‍♂️ 🐻<p>Very rarely do I have an unsuccessful charge on a Chargepoint L2 charger. So much so, that I tend to walk away without checking to see if charging actually starts. Well today that fucked me over. Wasn't till I walked into Disneyland that I got a notification that my charge session was unsuccessful. Well gee thanks, I'm in the park can and can do nothing about it... 🤦‍♂️<br><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a></p>

Brian Vastag<p>Thanks Biden for the Inflation Reduction Act and the $4,000 used EV tax credit that really helped me out this year.

Ben Avison<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.community/@feike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>feike</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@PamelaBarroway" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>PamelaBarroway</span></a></span> It’s indirect, but it could be argued that flooding the market with second-hand <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a> cars might dent demand for new ones (even more than it already is). Also, if such a glut suppresses second-hand prices sufficiently, then lease companies might decide residuals are likely to be less and so make leasing a new Tesla more expensive, which could also hurt sales. And buying a different brand <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> instead would also make Tesla’s market performance look comparatively worse. So it’s not hopeless.</p>
BrisWombat<p>Spotted yesterday at my local <a href="https://bne.social/tags/HammerBarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HammerBarn</span></a> - an imported and right-hand-drive converted F150 Lightning <a href="https://bne.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a>. Stupidly big, but not out of place you know, on a mine site or farm. Not suburbia. The current size of pickup utilities in Australia is big enough (too big and less fit for purpose)! At least there’s greener options here and on the way I guess. I worry that <a href="https://bne.social/tags/NEVS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEVS</span></a> is toast if LNP get in. <br>And being an undercover carpark with a Hammer Barn above it, the smell of sausages permeates most of the carpark..</p>
