I recently (2021/2022) sold my gas cars and bought two EV’s. Though I kept my two motorcycles. I’ve been compiling my thoughts about how it’s been so far, and realized I have compiled pages and pages of notes and those notes are all over the place. Just tons of little tiny differences to massive differences in the driving experience. I’d like to share that with this community in a useful way.
I’m not exactly an EV enthusiast, I’ve had a very long list of enthusiast cars/bikes and when I was young I used to race both autocross and quarter mile. So this basis is where my brain is at.
So my questions for everyone here:
- What should I test/measure?
- What do you want to know?
- What data do you want to see (within reason, I’m not a data scientist)?
Yeah pretty much. I’ve got a 50amp j1772 at home, charges from basically nothing to 80% in a few hours. I also built an offrid solar battery to try and charge them. I’ve also taken a few road trips and used tesla superchargers, electrify America chargers, blink, evgo et al…
For almost all of my driving, I could almost get away with a 120v wall outlet for charging. Less than 20 miles per day.
