Question for ENATE: I have the PGE plan EV2-A just south of you and per my daily usage graphs, my off-peak rate is $0.24/kwh, peak rate at 43 cents/kwh (was 56 cents/kwh this summer). Your new plan is significantly lower than what I'm paying based on your graph. What plan are you currently...
I saw this, but I don't think I'd try it. I wonder if there were any problems afterward. The HV connector and vent on the battery pack would have me greatly concerned.

Many seats (including mine) only the temperature sensor wire is broken, causing the seat heater to shut off after a minute or so. The video attached shows how to repair it in 30 minutes ... There's a bunch of other good repairs on the channel too. Mine has worked great after the repair + adj...
i replaced my 2015 12v battery a month ago ( ~6 yrs old in May), since the battery tester SOH (with battery installed) was reading ~35% life remaining. Once I removed it and bench tested it, the tester said the state of health was much higher (?? maybe my connection was poor when testing in...
FYI- I just changed my battery ( measured 35% CCA remaining based on analyzer) from 50% last year ( 2015 REX). I had one instance last winter where the battery voltage monitored at my cigarette plug dipped to 12V after sitting a few days, which also had me worried that I should change it...
I agree with Alohart's comments. However, the estimated range data en masse, is interesting nontheless. Here are a few of the various source graphs, for what it's worth. My battkappa has dropped to 16.3 from 17.8 when purchased 3 yrs ago, yet I'm getting nearly the almost same GOM range...
I looked at a few posts comparing range loss per 10k mi driven for several vehicles. Looks like the I3 is not that bad compared to other EV's. The I3 22ah and 94ah is from regression lines on 20+ used cars I posted earlier, my personal data and another poster here (est. range from GOM, not...
I also have a voltage monitor installed in the auxiliary port under the dash, and I have noticed (with the car sitting for multiple days this winter) if I just open the rear hatch usually the interior lights and ports will turn on only for several minutes ( allowing me to check the 12V battery...
Here is a link to a previous post. It's my comprehensive maintenance list I put together a while back, that I use to track items I need to check. I tried to get the correct consumables & part numbers , but I suggest you verify them before using in case there is an error. Hope this is helpful...
Has anyone tossed a thick blanket in the trunk to see if it dampens the REX noise a little? There doesn't seem like much sound insulation from the metal "engine hatch" to the cabin area, but I'm not sure if that's the only source. Maybe a good experiment to try (I think I'll have to dig...
Posting this in case it helps someone FWIW - I've had the same problem for several months (remote services not working, but other communication such as app updating %charge, eDrive status,etc. working). Unfortunately, after pulling the fuse the problem was not resolved. I was looking at the...
Excellent work!
I've also been collecting data that I think compliments your information. On my 2015 REX, the plot of Batt Kappa shows a regression line that says initital battery capacity should be around 22KWH (??) with a slope of -0.0002 KWH/mile (btw green data points are the temp...
I installed one of those cigarette plug voltage monitors over a year ago to keep an eye on my 6+ yr old AGM battery voltage, in case it starts to drop off abruptly. I normally see it sitting around 12.4 to 12.8V before the car powers up (depending on what accessory/lights are fired up). My...
I just ordered tires from Costco (in US) because of the better pricing. My question is whether anyone has had any issues with Costco installs on I3's, such as damaging the shock boots when jacking up the car, did they need any special adapters for the lift, tire sensor issues, technicians...
