    Sold 2018 KTM 690 Enduro R. Maybe, just checking. Now with pics.

    Kids are out of the house, so no more popping out for a quick ride. Went the route of getting wifey a Xpulse, worked very lekker until her RA put a stop to that. Riding alone is lekker, riding with buddies is lekker, but nothing beats being out and about with wifey, and offroad bikes are no...

    EV consumption, running costs (Volvo EX30)

    Hey daar, die deur se oopsluit/toesluit funksie (as jy aan die handvatsel raak) werk nie. Dit werk wel met die remote en as jy trek aan die handvatsel, so dis nie eintlik ernstig nie, maar nogtans wil ek dit reggemaak hê. Wat betref die batterye laaiery, die idee dat al die selle weer moet vol...

    EV consumption, running costs (Volvo EX30)

    Ja dis 'n moeilike een om by te bereken want daar's geen lopende koste nie. En my solar stelsel het ek stuk stuk opgebou oor 'n 10 jaar of so tydperk. Ek stem egter saam daardie koste moet bygereken word. Weet net nie heeltemal hoe nie.

    A classic mini clubman, and time on my hands.

    So the time has finally come to install my electronic ignition system and test it. I've made the harness for the pencil coils, there were just a few things I needed to wrap on the control unit itself before I could install it. But first, get the house's fire extinguisher close on hand just in...

    EV consumption, running costs (Volvo EX30)

    While supercharging will generate more heat, an AC charge inlet of 220V still needs to be stepped up to 400V, whereas the DC chargers are already 400V. So that's another bit of efficiency lost. But yes, the DC supercharger will probably be more inefficient in the end.

    EV consumption, running costs (Volvo EX30)

    As per @2StrokeDan's suggestion I'll use this thread to document the running cost of my Volvo EX30. I'll update here weekly. Electricity cost R3.20/kWh, I charge up to 70% every time. Date Odometer (km) Distance (km) Eskom kWh Eskom Cost Solar kWh Solar Cost* Charged kWh/100km Shown...

    Electric vehicles. Wow. Just wow!

    Nice! Betaal jy net R2.40/kWh? Bliksem, hier inTshwane betaal ek tans R3.20. Edit: Ek sien ook jou gemiddelde spoed is 40km/h, ry jy meestal hoofweë? My gemiddeld is 29km/h en ek prober afbly van die hoofweë af.

    Electric vehicles. Wow. Just wow!

    Wow, I'm surprised the batteries are not better protected against this in the design. I'm sure there's a case here for a class action suit.

    Verg gewoonlik 'n DC inset, en transformators gee AC. Check maar net.
