Yeah, the Martin Rebuilds offer seems like the next battery change in a few years. So far my H4 is not old but is holding up just fine. The winter will be the real test tho. But will allow me to run my winch with no problems.
I guess driving behind a 80,000 lbs truck the whole way down may have helped as well. Remembering Myth Busters, I doubt it was that much. I keep a safe distance and had many times when someone got between us.
Especially accelerating! One also has to factor in what their time is worth to them. I saw a recent Reddit thread in the EVs subreddit about EV drivers obsessing over efficiency and how many times it's not worth losing sleep (or time) over. Costing oneself 1 hour to save $5 isn't worth it to me...
Ok elevation change was about 350ft. So I went down while traveling at <55 and up headed back. I still think I'm gonna try to keep it at or below 55 as much as possible. Those mornings when late for work can't be helped tho!
We had to have our FD ladder truck serviced and I was the ride back for the driver of the rig. Wind was negligible and elevation change wasn't much. Ride from Parsippany NJ to South Plainfield NJ. Following the rig that never got over 56, but was frequently under 55, I got 4.1 mi/kwh. Ride home...
Love my Wolfbox rear view mirror/dashcam. So much so that I installed in my car that my son drives and my wife's SUV. Mother in law can't get used to focusing on screen and mirror so she doesn't get one. She shouldn't be driving anyway!
I don't usually charge to 100%. I'm also a teacher who's not working through the summer, but a volunteer firefighter who's been driving extremely short distances for that "job". My average MPKWH going to a call is about 2.7, but coming home it's about 6.0! Mostly uphill VS mostly down hill. I...
After the crazy storms we had on July 3rd and 4th here in NJ, I am getting it to 100% just as the thunder starts to hit! Tornadoes in the forecast! Everybody be safe!
I'd sacrifice some of that massive rear seat room for an extra bit of length to the bed. The back seat is great as it is, don't get me wrong. I use it to haul in lieu of the bed many times. Seats are always folded up. The people in the back living the luxurious life, are usually my wife...
Too big is correct. The old ones hauled more and could tow as well, but way smaller. I'd have purchased a Ranger or Maverick if either of them were BEV.

Now I gotta remember when it happened. I think it was mid fall for me. Not hot weather but if it happens again now that it is hot, I'll notate here or another similar post. I think I posted about my similar issue when it happened.
I had it happen. Was worried cuz it was super inconvenient. It happened after I had to hold the stalk down while it was returning to center from a turn. It was like was like cracking a knuckle and having it get hung up mid crack! Anyway, it managed to work itself out after a few days. Maybe up...
It's not the ground, but the neutral/ground bond. There is one and can be only one. There is one at your panel or at the service entrance. It's supposed to be at the first point of a disconnect. There is also one built into most generators, and of course built into the ford PPOB. The Ford system...
