Not only can you not set your charge level from your phone. You have to unplug your car. Get into it. Go through multiple menus, change it. Get out of the car replug it in. Like yikes man.
I mean I know lifting that big bastard is going to suck but will it mess up the bike with all that weight in one spot
Tried to go in and set my level 1 charge cap to 80%. It was greyed out and couldnt select it. I maxed the pull to 8A since its a ordinary outlet. Is that right?
I am going to do a 2000 mile road trip in 4 legs. These are the values I got from ABRP. The only
Day 1 (leaving from home with 100%) = 271mi, 87kwh.
Day 2 = 600 miles, 191kwh.
Day 3 = 560 mi (hotel has L2 charger leaving with 100%), 156kwh.
Day 4 = 731mi, 226kwh.
Does the L3 charging throttle work by the amount of kwh you add in a 24hr period via L3 or is it sessions? If its sessions, if ABRP tells me to charge for only 8 min somewhere does it count against the number of sessions?
Also if it does throttle me how slow is the charging curve?
Im going from st.louis mo to Portland. I have never level 3 charged my Bz or left more than 30 miles from my current house with it.
ABRP says i-80 is the most optimal way. There is 1 sketchy slow charger ill have to use between North Platte and Cheyenne.
How accurate is ABRP? Until Cheyenne im essentially going uphill for hours on end and the highway speed limits are like 80mph.
My plan is to do it in 3 days STL -> North Platte --> Ogden Utah --> Portland.
From my research it seems like after Cheyenne it's a net descent to Portland and seems like easy street from there.
Would it be wise to chunk the trip up into 4 days instead? I know toyota says to not level 3 charge it more than 5x in a single day.
I got a battery jump kit, tire inflator. May get a decent usb fan to point at me to keep from having to run the hvac very often
My conundrum is do I take i70 or i80 to salt lake? I70 looks way more treacherous/hilly but seems to have more/better charging options.
What mi/kwh should I expect? I am planning on keeping it on cruise control at 60-65mph the whole time and put big yellow magnets on my car saying it cant exceed that speed limit and to go around.
My itinerary if I go i70:
Day 1: STL to border of kansas/colorado.
Day 2: edge of kansas to border of colorado/utah.
Day 3: edge of Utah to Boise
Day 4: Boise to Portland.
I have airbnbs/hotels picked out with level 2 chargers. So should start each day at 100% to help not eat through my 5x DC fast charging 24hr allotment by the end of each day.
Thoughts/advice is appreciated!
Wanted to get the Terry cloth kind, but blocks the seat airbag as confirmed by a sales rep. The canvas ones are not very functional for the bz. The front seat ones don't handle the bolstering well, the pucks you are supposed to use to lock the cover in place does not work with the seats, the headrest latch sucks. The back seat cover doesn't work because the seat belt buckles do not pull out at all so you can't seal the Velcro around them.
I just got my nobo jump starter, I looked at the manual and dug through youtube, but I'm having trouble pin pointing where that little metal nub is exactly when looking into the car. Can someone please help me with this with a picture?
So used the remote start today (first time in 3 months since owning it) and got a warning message before I pushed the brake down to push start it. I dont get the warning when I hop in and turn it on without remote start?
Will most likely end up paying to ship our cars since we have cats and don't want to put them through a multi day drive. Anyone have a shipping company they recommend? There will be an EV and a gas car.
That is all.
Strap on it is peak, size is perfect. Just don't like pulling up the flap to get into the bag/trusting nothing will wiggle out.
Basically make the everyday cubelet the same size as the small cafe bag and keep the strap. Would be a 10/10 bag for me
I am moving 2500mi away. I am nervous to have it shipped and it gets abused and/or costs and arm and a leg. My thought process is if I am going to pay a steep amount to ship it, I could purchase some protective gear for it and it'll be a gift that keeps on giving.
I assume my best option to protect from rock chips is getting a vinyl wrap on it/mud guards? If so how much does that usually run? Are there any other methods of protection I can look into?
