Range anxiety? Yeah, nah.

This was mostly intentional. It is recommended, every now and then, to run the battery down to under 10% and then charge to 100% in one go. This gives the battery management system an opportunity to recalibrate its state of charge measurements, ensuring it will give accurate percent remaining readings.

If you read the first sentence of that and are thinking, "hang on, do BYD Seals come with a dashcam or not?" the answer is they do come with one. In China.

To avoid potential privacy concerns BYD leave out the dashcam camera module when assembling export Seals, but the missing modules are readily available from AliExpress, etc., for about $100. I just had to buy one, pop open the windscreen electronics housing, click the camera into place, plug in the cable that was already there, and stick a microSD card in the slot below the centre console.

The video isn't great, it only records from a single camera, and only when the car is turned on (no "sentry mode" here), but it's cheaper and less faff than getting a 3rd party dashcam wired up.

I finally remembered that our Seal has the OEM dashcam installed, so there would be video of our wallaby encounters between Tenterfield and Glen Innes during our drive back to Sydney from Brisbane. They hadn't been overwritten yet so I was able to grab the relevant bits.

The video quality is pretty rubbish but it's better than nothing, and the data overlay is neat.

So, I just posted this on Reddit, the info here is stuff I've shared in replies here and on my Friendica about the cost of doing gig work in an electric car.

So, since I was talking with someone about this on my Friendica, I pulled together the numbers for the last billing period of what it cost me to be doing gig last mile delivery work using a Bolt. Even thought I expected there to be some savings, its still rather mind boggling just how cheap it is. Right now I'm running a 2023 Bolt EUV Premier that I kinda inherited when my husband passed, but before that was a 2020 Bolt LT (or whatever the base is).
So, I drive a lot, if'n you don't want to bother doing the math on the second pick, that's 1733 miles during that billing period. As well as the $35 the power company sees in the first pic, there was one public charging at a GM Energy station which didn't cost me anything, but would've been around $12, and I really didn't even need to charge that much, I just wanted to have some extra on the trip home in case I decided to pick up some hot shot work along the way. As to maintenance, $0 regularly scheduled maintenance. I did have some tire related expenses, but since those aren't standard maintenance (and also hard to calculate), I'm not counting that. The original tires, well the fronts, needed replacing so I swapped the tires and wheels I'd saved from the 2020 when I sold it, steelies and regular all season tires on, and yes, those do impact range, but the low repair/replace costs are worth it in my opinion considering the likelihood of damage in my job.
To make these savings even more impressive, before I went electric, I was driving a base model 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a 6 speed manual. Fuel with discounts ran at least $50 a week, most repair parts are dealer only (seriously, even wiper blades are hard to come by), and oil changes required full synthetic 0W30 every 6K miles at $110 from Jiffy Lube.
So for anyone wondering if'n going electric is worth it, I'd say yes, even without the rebate.

Bonsoir Alphonse :)

Maybe one shouldn't be happy about getting a new car. But honestly this year hasn't been very kind so far.
The first hour of driving my own #electriccar was wonderful, even if I got caught in a Freiburg traffic jam.

Got my first EV 15 years ago today

Home again. Our road trip from Sydney to Brisbane totalled 2616.9 km over 17 days. I noticed that the media were running their "long queues at EV chargers" stories again over the Easter long weekend so I'll just note that during our entire trip we had to wait for a charger a total of once, for 15 minutes. Most of the times I charged the car ours was the only car charging.

Today's drive from Glen Innes to Sydney went smoothly. We drove to Armidale where we charged and had an early lunch (including, for me, a massive coffee), then drove Thunderbolt's Way through Gloucester to Raymond Terrace where we topped up the car again and had dinner. After that it was just a boring drive down the Pacific Motorway to Sydney.

Minor rant again about the stupid Tesla chargers. Tesla took government subsidies to build these chargers and in exchange had to open them to non-Tesla cars, but they still insisted on placing the chargers between parking bays. The cables are just long enough to stretch across to the other side of the bay for cars that have their charging port on the other side but the main problem is that Tesla makes no effort to make it clear which charger is supposed to be used from which bay. No signage, no markings on the ground, you're just supposed to know. Consequently a lot of drivers of non-Tesla cars who either don't know or don't care just plug in whichever charger is nearest to their car's charging port, and if they use the wrong side then they effectively occupy two spaces. I saw two cars doing this today.

Tesla should put the chargers in the middle of the bay so the cable can easily reach either side and it's obvious which charger goes with which bay, but failing that they could at least put up some signs.
