Unexpected trip for a funeral for a relative. Drove from cold Michigan to warm South Carolina. When we departed on Wednesday, it was 30 degrees. Battery was preconditioned with a departure time, was 55.4F when we left, with 84.8kWh of energy at 100%. Biggest surprise of trip, 3 or 4 people...

I have watched people post about how wonderful these locations are to charge at. I've used a few myself over the past year or two, and some were covered and nice. Others, well... Today I stopped at one on my way home from picking up my new battery snowblower, because I had $50 in credits that...

One of the interesting things to me is that EVs, made by the same company, can have totally different battery components or algorithms. This January has been abnormally cold, and I've been watching my vehicles and charging. Both vehicles are prevented from charging from 11AM to 7PM, my peak...

TDLR: Nice quality camera, installation doesn’t blend in with vehicle like competitor, hardwire kit takes time and effort to install. Currently $219.99 which is very competitive, and the quality is quite good, with 4K. This is a compensated review – I received the RedTiger F17 Elite camera for...
