Yeah I was hoping CC was coming to the Transalp but I imagine Honda doesn't want to bleed sales from the Africa Twin either. Aftermarket is a possibility.

I'd love something like that custom NX500. Some aux lights and cruise control would complete it. My next bike will be a 500-750cc twin, no use for the heavy big bores now especially with the cost of insurance and fuel.

No better than Riders Plus/Intact for me.

I just saw this posted to YT about the carbon rewards program, has some good info if you're looking to go that route.

My exterior speaker is freakin' loud. Can definitely hear it in the cabin if the music is off. Some people have made a resistor plug to go inline of the circuit to drop the dB a bit. Others have disconnected it but I wouldn't go that far personally. I'd feel awful if I hit someone because they...

Yeah ESA absolutely does not want people only pulling at night to charge battery banks. Utilities would lose a fortune. I've watched YT videos on using Volt or Leaf batteries to make a backup, but it could only be used here in a power outage and with a transfer switch/disconnect. I also looked...

I pay 3.9 cents between 2300h and 0700h. That's when I charge the vehicles. But, on peak 1600h-2100h is 39.1 cents per kW. I have to be careful I don't cost myself more by using the pool pump/hvac etc during those times. February was a cold month and I used 675 kW/h just in vehicle charging...

I gave my Level 2 16a that I had purchased for my old Volt to a guy at work that just picked up a Fiat 500e since it only came with a Level 1. V2L (vehicle to load) capabilities makes ours a great camping or tailgating vehicle. Power your accessories off the main battery and then plug into a 30...

I have the Flex-AC but the Elite has Bluetooth, so should be a bit easier to setup and use. It'll probably pay for itself in a year or so if the payout stays the same. Can't vouch for reliability but they state it's a 2 year warranty and I get an additional 1 year as it was purchased through my...

Yep. I've been with Pion since January. Already at 1 Megawatt, but that's for both vehicles. Charger was a bit of a PITA to get connected to my wifi but it's ran well since then. They had to do an OTA update to fix a couple of bugs and they were fast to respond through the app. I pay 3.8...

Yeah, Ivy sucks, even their new Kempower installs like you find in Trenton aren't all that great as they load share power and you'll get dropped way down if all bays are full. Tilbury units are only 100 kW so 40 sounds about right. There's faster EC chargers at the Tilbury CanTire but there's...

That 40 kW seems low at Tilbury. Electrify Canada? Do you know if you were temp limited or just in the upper charge range of the battery? I get about 96 kW max out of a 180 kW EC charger and about 130 kW max out of their 350 kW units. Nearing 80% charge the rate will drop to low 60's. Past 80%...

That's awesome. Congrats Scuba Steve.

New Leaf has coolant system for battery thermal management. Older gens did not and excessive heat was the killer.

2026 Chevy Equinox EV's are 35K fwiw. Might be something to check out. They're no charging speed leaders but most of the reviewers I watch are positive about them.

Yeah it's an issue. Especially with the vehicle size arms race we have in NA. If you have kids or even large dogs it's too tight back there. My mate's retiring next month and he's Italian so the 500e we pick up tomorrow fits his needs. 🤌 I mastered parallel parking living in the GTA, so it it's...

It's less then $350 monthly including insurance. Who gives AF if they leave? Someone else will fill that gap.

They'll land in BC and they're well set up besides Quebec for charging infrastructure. Ontario is a distant third. If I can find an EV owner youtuber in Fort Mac, I'll definitely subscribe.

To a lot of people the car's size is definitely an issue for safety aspects. But we ride, so there's that.

Think I'm a bit of an EV whisperer. People have been picking my brain all week at work. Second one just texted me that they picked this one up in London today. They wanted leather seats and this one was the closest.
