Or a very dodgy job that can burn your house down.

Yep. People need to check installation prices from real sparkies before running out and order a BYD on this comment. Impossible on $180.

This is a bargain though you need to add 8 GB RAM and switch out to SSD. Measurements done with smartplug.

I have just tested my 800 G1 SFF with an older I5 4670, 16 GB RAM, 256 SSD and 4TB WD red on windows 10 Pro. 60W at boot up, 30-50 on app…

Calendar aging is the minimum capacity loss in time. Cyclic loss is additional and will be added on top. And the 25-30% loss I estimated is…

Unfortunately 1-2% per year loss is wishful thinking. "A semi-empirical model of the calendar ageing of lithium-ion batteries aimed at…

Disagree. Radar cruise phantom brakes if it detects physical objects in front of it, which can happen if you are approaching a corner fast…

Found this on ebay, 2 electric zappers for less than $15. Uses AA batteries too so can put my Eneloops to good use.…

Did they "broden" it!!!

Interesting figures. 17.5kWh/100km means 356.65 kWh for 2038 km. 405 kWh from the app means 48.35 kWh from charging losses, or 13.55%…

Yes.

This is what I use it for. Connects with USB dongle. Also use it with my Amazon Firestick. Works well when using the browser. Be warned…

Great price. Didn't buy because we already have 4 controllers, but only one of this one. It's the one that gets used all the time over the…

Best feature of the electric tailgate is the programmable open height. Stops our SUVs tailgate from hitting our garage door. Our previous…

It definitely can. Don't have it any more but had a Hybrid RAV 4 Cruiser 2WD for 6 months at the beginning of 2023. I owned sport cars all…

Not so sure that your experience is consistent with numerous reputable publications testings, particularly with the statement that "Toyota…

Do you expect anyone to believe you that a rav4 hybrid is 8L/100 on average?

That's a good pick up. Battery would have degraded a little bit too.

Yeah nah, I'm convinced that you are making things up as you go along with no basis in fact (like you don't even know how a PHEV properly…

So why didn't you quote the official 1.1 L/100 km for the Sealion 6. You already showed that you don't know all there is to know of PHEV's…

RAV 4 2wd hybrid is 4.7 combined. Sealion fuel economy with full charge can't be used to compare. Once the battery is low out of EV mode,…

I am aware of how PHEVs work (I have one). The ICE engine will try to keep charging the battery when low and for most applications the…

It was in poor weather for a small part of their journey. Was it raining throughout? No. They couldn't get the range that was claimed so…

So what happens when the battery is low and the car has to run at low speed? Is is going to be really inefficient then? It is not going as…

Look at your downvotes. Here's an upvote.

You obviously don't understand engineering technology, and are easily gets sold on items. Do you understand planetary gear sets? 2000km?…

No BYD has copied Toyotas hybrid gear box tech because they can't beat Toyota with their previous versions. Don't fall for BYD propaganda.

Umm no. BYDs new hybrid tech is a copy of Toyotas technology by copying and using a gearbox with planetary gears copied from Toyotas hybrid…

Have to agree. Seen all three and it's only 7/10 for me, with the other 2 10/10. Check out also Pantheon and Invincible on Prime - great…
