Does anyone have THIS product on their bike?? I'm curious if I could run it on my BBSHD build because I've noticed that the shift cable on my CUES derailleur is getting smushed by my pannier and I don't think there's anything I can do about it. The only issue I can think of is there would be no way to integrate a shift sensor, and I'd have to brake slightly as a cutoff when I shift.

So,
I'm considering how to proceed with plug-in solar. I see that EcoFlow is certifying their STREAM microinverter and ULTRA battery to comply with UL3700. It seems like a great option once it's certified, being that you can set up the inverter with extra solar capacity so you can meet the 1200w cap asap and then have some clipping, and have another couple panels on the battery and have it be charged by peak time. All of that sounds good. My problem is that the ULTRA battery is only 1.9KWh, with a DC to AC conversion rate of about 65% - meaning youll only get around 1.3KWh out of it. To expand the capacity, you have to buy more fully fledged STREAM ULTRA batteries ie there are no cheaper expansion modules. I would need an effective 5-6KWh to cover my consumption during peak times. Looks like an ULTRA X battery with about twice the capacity is available in EU, but not US. That still would only give me half the capacity I need to cover peak times, which is when the financial benefit of the system would really kick in.
Has anyone found a larger UL3700 compliant battery?
Thanks!
Got an AXA XXL from tradeinn.com and installed it on BBSHD Trek 520 disc. Seems solid!
Hello,
I have many questions about setups and would like to invest in a (CA) legal plug-in or balcony solar system +battery. I can either put it on the ground, or a south facing roof.
In any case, perhaps a megathread should be started for what I can only imagine will be a deluge of questions concerning these setups and associated equipment recommendations.
I know about the Ecoflow STREAM ultra which seems like a decent product, if a bit pricey(?) Definitely wouldn't want the PV panels they offer for it.
Hopefully this rechargery will be commissioned soon! So good to see the beginnings of DC charging competition in this town. This site is much closer to my parents' than the EA, which for some reason always has a queue when I need it.
Parked in a charging spot. Not plugged in. Ample parking elsewhere. At least there was another charger.
This is Medford to Crater Lake and back to Crescent City starting at 94% SOC. No, I didn't baby it but it was slow going due to traffic at times.
Over the last two weeks, we have driven the car approximately 2,000 mi. It has impressed us with highway range at interstate speeds often with suboptimal wind conditions. The charging at a compatible DC charger has been fantastic. Would just don't worry about the state of charge it reaches. We just take our time at charging spots and after about 25-30 minutes, the car is almost fully charged. Obviously if there's a line I don't charge to full. The 10 mi/kwh photo is rolling down highway 108 from Pinecrest into the valley.
I have been ranting and raving about this app to anyone who will listen. It's called ISO Today. It shows you how much of instantaneous demand is being met by renewables! I like to take this into consideration when I go get a charge. First screenshot is from my 60kwh IONNA session today. Obviously, day to day, AC charging during the day from, say, 9-3 is the easier way to go about it. I'm in the somewhat uncommon situation of public charging being cheaper than electricity at home.
