• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How reliable are EV chargers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I’ve charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn’t get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn’t have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

  Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they’re broken.

  HP is kiloWatt and lb/ft is Newtonmeter

  kW=(0.105NmRPM)/1000 HP=(LbFt*RPM)/5252

  Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

  A good rule of thumb is to look just below the side mirrors. The average height person seated correctly will see the stop line appear just below the side mirrors when the front bumper is at the line.

  Easy way to know with yourself in your own car is to park right at the line, then sit in the drivers seat and compare where the line is in relation to the mirrors when seated normally.
