Like the Fiat 500e, it was savaged by reviewers on YT. As a compliance vehicle it had drawbacks, but owner's impressions were positive if kept to the expectations and limitations. Interior is nice, especially on the GT and the suicide doors are cool. My son was looking at a local used one at...

There should be youtube videos on cracking it open and replacing the battery. I'm on my 2nd aftermarket with my Sena 20 but the unit's over a decade old now.

Was at a function yesterday (food smoking course) and a couple at our table have a Wagoneer EV and a Mazda MX-30 EV. Wagoneer has been a nightmare for issues but the Mazda has been trouble-free for the last 3 years. Mazda gets the town-duty only at 170 Km range at best. Used prices on the...

Almost at the point where the Level 2 charger is paid for with the PION rebate. Feb was a cold month and July saw a lot of driving back and forth to new place (80km)

Adri, most new DCFC installations sans Tesla are tap and pay, same with Electrify Canada, Flo and others. A lot of Level 2 stations use Chargepoint and NFC from your phone, so it's just a tap motion. Tesla has now began selling their DCFC units to 3rd parties, they are tap and pay as well...

So like TV's made for Best Buy, there's some features changed/missing. JD seems to be the major brand in my area but I found a nice Kubota diesel @ $7500+tx. Missus is having a hard time with that, especially for 1/2 acre.

We had a woman absolutely rail against EVs on a local Reddit sub. Anytime they were mentioned she would come on and say how unreliable and undependable they were and that the whole point of them was a failure. After some queries it turns out she had purchased a new Mach E (awesome EV) but, had...

That's what I learned owning the Volt. Lower battery range because I was lugging around an engine and trans, and higher fuel consumption because I was lugging around a battery system. Plus I still had oil changes annually and fuel to put into it if I went over 50 or so kms on battery or drove in...

On my last trip from Harrow to Ottawa (4x last year) I charged overnight to 100%, then stopped to charge/eat at Ingersoll SC then on to Coburg SC (Starbucks coffee) and finally Brockville SC (Dairy Queen). Total charge time was around 1.3 hr. Topped up at an Electrify Canada in Ottawa for the...

EV's aren't there yet to meet everyone's needs that's for sure. I go from 5.5km/kWh summer time to 2.4 km in the winter if the vehicle is -17C cold-soaked. There's various ways to mitigate it but as I've observed at work explaining it to people, I get intent listening or eye glazing/rolling...

I don’t have FB but someone at work said they’ll look for me. My new place is surrounded by farms and retirees so I’ve started looking nearby. Shame the tri-ads aren’t still around, that would probably be ideal place to look.

Most people over 50 aren’t going to make 500 km straight driving unless they’re severely dehydrated. It’s an absolute doddle to just stop for 20 minutes and throw some juice in. Superchargers are all along 401 from one end to the other and they’ll accept almost every brand now. Hybrids to me are...

Niche product. I think they could use a 500 adventure bike using the Revo engine that they had on the Street 500, albeit adding another 10 HP (43) to it as well. Maybe that's where the demand is.

I had to look up what the difference was between pans but that's what I noticed about most of them, they all have thin cutting decks that look like they'll flex and crack. I'd rather not get into the higher-priced new units for a thicker pan so I'm going to look at older models for sale.

Nobody said americans were rational or intelligent. I can't think of any reasonable scenario where a mild hybrid is better than a full EV. I sat in a CRV, it's banality. For 50K you can get a nice Toyobaru or Equinox and never have to worry about maintenance costs or smelly fuels again. Even at...

I don't know much about them, but looking to get a small one for my new place, under $5K. Just a cursory look at the ones at Rona and Home Depot, they look chintzy AF. Even the John Deere's look cheap. Is there a brand that's decent and will last past a couple of seasons or should I look for an...

They'll sell dozens...

Cassette or 8-track?

Leaving an e-bike battery out in the sun and (possibly) charging is asking for thermal runaway. I'd bet money that battery isn't UL 2271 certified, which is supposed to greatly reduce or eliminate that chance.

Apparently Honda tuned the suspension on the Prologue and reviews say it's more Honda-like compared to the Blazer which they feel is harsher. I use Apple Carplay on the Prologue, it's been pretty flawless and with the latest Android OS update I can now watch YouTube, Amazon Prime etc on the...
