I'll be there. Let's get the FFE count to at least 20. The total EV count is 389. They need 500 to break the record.

So any ScanGauge can be reprogrammed by the user to read anything the vehicle has on the bus once you know the code and the math. Any ideas on how I would correct the math on my HBC and HBV readings? Thanks!

I have an early ScanGauge for the FFE. The HBC (High voltage Battery Current) reads about half of the real value. Did that ever get fixed?

I came from Palo Alto and would not have made it either except I was able to charge a bit at Reid Hillview Airport as we chatted, comparing notes on upgrades and customizations. Made it back to Palo Alto with plenty to spare.

I thought that putting a kWh equivalent number on the car consumption would allow an apples to apples comparison of the impact of transportation on household energy use. By switching to an EV, I cut household consumption by 1082 kWh per month, 35.6 kWh per day, or about 1.5 kWh per hour...

Especially if you factor transportation (car) into your household energy use. We worry about caulking, weatherstripping, dual pane windows, LED lighting, insulating, while ignoring the elephant in the garage. For example: My household electricity use is about 365 kWh a month without the EV, 665...

Rear camera FTW.

See you all at 9 at Reid Hillview Airport. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/wq5zU There are lots of charging stations around 4th and Santa Clara streets.

Tanks for the memories. Was watching my rear view mirror all the way home.

Is there a warm white version of this bulb?

Why limit it to auto lock? Do what Tesla does: Auto lock, auto unlock, and auto start. You walk up to the car, it unlocks and the door handles pop out. Then you get in and drive off. You don't need to hit the start button.

1. An ECO setting for the climate control that provides ventilation without trying to add heat tor cooling. 1a. A low fan setting that is about 1/4 of the current low setting. 2. More visibility into the battery and power parameters. HV battery amps (positive and negative values) HV battery...

I tried one of these with a PC based application but as soon as it connectrd to the car, the car SSN'd. Good thing I was in the garage. Had to reboot the car to get it to run again. So yes, it works great, but finding a FFE specific application to read everything without pooching the car...

Regarding the battery shape and position: It's the way it is because no part of the battery may be in the crumple zone, that magical two feet forward of the rear bumper. It's the same thing that pushed the gas tank forward of the rear axle. We'd all love low and flat, but it just can't happen...

If HaiNH1993 is still listening... The Focus is an excellent hatchback. If electric cars did not exist, I'd be driving a gas powered Focus. If HaiNH1993 is looking for a second car, it could (read should) be electric if at all possible. I recommend a test drive in the Focus Electric. (Sorry...

To what do you attach the long hasp padlock? Will it fit around the wheel spoke? If so. that's way simpler than my cable method. Just need to be careful about scratching the finish.

I got a padlock and short cable to loop through a wheel spoke. Haven't had to use it in public yet, but it will stop anyone without a cutting tool, addressing the opportunity theft risk. http://picasaweb.google.com/102324539916158885601/FFE_Trunk#5999442381621233330

I was hopeful that the ST rear swaybar would bolt right in. Nope. The attachment points are much further outboard on the ST. For a comparison, check out Edmunds extensive suspension walkarounds for both cars. Titanuim...

Shortly after acquiring my FFE, I removed the Cargo Management System. That greatly improved the versatility of the rear storage area. Now shopping bags actually fit. It wasn't long after that, I realized that the foam insert that held the Tire Mobility Kit and travel charger was taking up...
