The Gen 2 Prius have a history of killing 12v batteries when the brake accumulator starts to play up ..... it is buried in the back right hand corner, the boot is an electric unlock, so a major gym workout getting the jump battery onto the terminals ...... till you learn there is provision for a...

Flashing children is just poor form
Be ready to run if you flash a granny and she thinks it's a call to action
Be prepared for any female to threaten you with legal action in the small claims court

Fortunately, over here in Aust, that is a guaranteed fine and loss of points on their licence ..... and double points during any holiday period. There is actually quite a collection of fines for such an offence, driving on the wrong side of the road, facing the wrong way when parked, head lights...
I was caught a few times like that, it was me trying to do a heel & toe start on a hill, there is no throttle response when you have your foot on the brake ....
Hard to learn how to use the electric park brake and how to get it to release at the right time .... applied the electric park brake to...
Everyone talked about MPG, then litres/100km, then kwh/100kms ..... but what really makes an EV stand out from the also using the road, energy cost/100kms .....
Those of us with solar, get our charging for free, so I guess the cost would have to be calculated on what we didn't get by not...
We didn't see electric milk carts over here, always Holden panelvans, overloaded to the max :lol: Loved driving the milk truck in the early hrs of the morning, 11 yrs old, barely reach the pedals and see over the dashboard
I worked two different milk runs before school to get enough money...
We call it meringue, essential part of a pavlova, then there's the whipped cream, hard to find lactose free whipping cream ..... isn't frosting done by sprinkling icing sugar over the top with a sifter?

A good thread never dies, it just rests in the archives for a while. The heating and battery SOC causing a loss of power was an interesting tip that came out of it ...... not to self, if running from the cops, don't make it a long drawn out thing :LOL:

I remember in the late '60's, the local newsagent paper delivery was with a VW thing converted to electric ..... from memory it was 144vdc and used only 2nd gear .... the whine of the forklift motor as he launched around the corner of our street, step uphill right turn on the flattened peak of...
If you added a line down the centre, it looks a lot like my wife's driving style ;) :LOL:
I don't think it was racing rubber, when the 4 wheel drift occurred when the traction control was turned off, opposite lock regained the grip, with racing rubber, when all 4 wheels lose grip like that...
We are certainly in for interesting time with so many vested interests with big wallets resisting change and then squirming out of any restoration expenses once they abandon a once profitable site, be it a fuel station or mining pit, Aust has a lot of them that the big multinationals just left...
I start out at the supply end with both plugs in hand, that reduces the odds of getting it wrong when I get to the car end ;)
In Aust we have different wiring and plugs, the standard house power point is 10 amps.
I use a variable control type single phase 3 pin charger supply plug and can...
