A few drawbacks that I can envision is, what happens if a car or truck splashes up muddy water or a stone ? I would at the very least have either button up plastic doors or zips up on the sides. It definitely would protect you better. Plus, if it starts hailing you don’t have any protection from it.

@@EVResource Many years ago, I worked for the post office and we had old crappy jeeps. Anytime it rained, water would come through any areas with a gap, the brake pedal, gas pedal and the door. Then there were the times where someone going fast through standing water could create a tidal wave of muddy water. Then the most memorable incident happened during the summer. We got a severe storm that had golf ball size hail that pelted everything. People had dents in their car, dealerships had multiple cars with dents, home roofs were damaged. Luckily my new car was parked in the parking lot at work and didn’t get hit, but others were not as lucky. I was in my truck on the route and the area I was at got grazed by that hail storm. I closed the windows and waited for the storm to pass. I have also been in rainstorms that were slashing sideways, I had to keep opening and closing the door to deliver the mail on one side of the street. That vehicle should at least have a heavy plastic shower type curtain at the very least. Then at least you have something to cover the sides. Even modern day Jeeps have coverings for the weather. Our weather patterns are getting worse because of climate change, not better. Even a rolled up vinyl plastic that could be unrolled if needed, would be better than nothing there.

H ello! I have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV and noticed a lower battery range performance. Dealership performed the Electrical Systems Diagnosis ($175). They determined that the battery is functioning at 22.6 Ah, compared to the minimum 31.5 Ah. Headquarters is reluctant to act on it. They want me to "wait and see" and do another diagnostic in August. Do they think they made a misdiagnosis? Should I push for a repair order to start? The warranty expires in August, two months from now. Any advice?

This week we are tracking range per battery charge so we can return to the dealership with some hard data, since the guy at the dealership "expected" that the range would improve after the diagnogstic test.

EVs are not dominating any form of motorpsorts . Fanboy delusion. They have their own series .Autocross is a timed event its not racing wheel to wheel. Formula E draws for smaller crowds than F1. Electric dirt bikes have been fairly succesfull in begginer kids classes but once they move out of begginer class they are back on 2stroke bikes. Full size electric mx bikes have been around for a few years and have went nowhere. Alta went out of business, the lastest offering from Stark didn't sell . They also have already closed their doors. Motorsports will continue to be ICE based for years.

I was an ICE engineer and built my own race car for open track days, Road America was 15 mins from my house. I can appreciate ICE engines but as EV powertrains get better and can sustain max power output, it becomes less attractive to run ICE, unless you are just old school and have nostalgia of hearing vroom vroom and turbo noises and supercharger noises.

There’s no comparison. An EV, with the right powertrain and tuned properly, can do amazing things. That being said, as much as I’m an EV guy… I LOVE the vroom vroom and turbo and supercharger noises. Mostly turbo noises, but I love a nice cammed out V8 too. Or a V12 revving to 9k. So many nice sounds. That’s the one thing I miss when watching EV Motorsport in person. Don’t miss the sounds when driving one, but when watching it is missing the spectacle.

@EVResource3 ай бұрын
It was a decent amount of rain... but I can see where that doesn't come across in the video all too well. The main purpose of the video however was satirical. The reality of EV charging is that there isn't any risk of charging in the rain, even if it were a hurricane, because there is never any electricity flowing through the wires until after the plug is connected to the vehicle and the charger and vehicle communicate. Before charging starts, they go through a process that also includes an "all clear, go ahead" command. As a result of this communication first feature, you could even dunk the charger cable into a bucket of water and it wouldn't cause any issue because there wouldn’t be any electricity flowing.

youre continuing to drive once you are at zero SOC as you have a reserve amount of kWh. So as an example a car with say 80kWh gross, would tend to have an upper and lower buffer of 2.5kWh each (so 5kWh) which leaves 75kWh usable, but 5kWh isnt showing within the GOM, so 0-100% is normally around 70kWh. 5kWH when you hit zero (reserve power) then the buffers of 5kWh giving a total of 80kWh

@@EVResource It’s really sad many EV drivers don’t know where to look for chargers. At a minimum, car dealers should give buyers a list of apps that show charging locations. My Tesla advisor provided not only Supercharger app, but PlugShare, Alt Fuel, and suggested Electrify America, EVgo, and others. While I haven’t looked, surely someone has produced a YT video on the best apps to find charging.
while it looks like fun, I will stick with my Can am Spyder. I can go about 250 miles before fueling up. Maybe if they can get the battery / range up higher I may look at one.
You know, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking too. When faced with the comparison, it’s hard to choose the less practical and more expensive choice. I hope they can figure this out, but I’m worried it’s too late for them now.
Cual es el comportamiento de la trimoto en subidas o pende tes pronunciadas.
No problem! Because it’s so long, it’s very stable.
I upgraded mine and made it look like it has a body kit and it looks really nice compared to that not to be rude
Awesome! Would love to see it.
How fast are you going
The speed limits are 45 on most of the streets. So I would have been going from 0-50mph
EVs are not dominating any form of motorpsorts . Fanboy delusion. They have their own series .Autocross is a timed event its not racing wheel to wheel. Formula E draws for smaller crowds than F1. Electric dirt bikes have been fairly succesfull in begginer kids classes but once they move out of begginer class they are back on 2stroke bikes. Full size electric mx bikes have been around for a few years and have went nowhere. Alta went out of business, the lastest offering from Stark didn't sell . They also have already closed their doors. Motorsports will continue to be ICE based for years.
I was an ICE engineer and built my own race car for open track days, Road America was 15 mins from my house. I can appreciate ICE engines but as EV powertrains get better and can sustain max power output, it becomes less attractive to run ICE, unless you are just old school and have nostalgia of hearing vroom vroom and turbo noises and supercharger noises.
Pretty sure when you’re faster than everybody else, it’s safe to say you’re dominating. Jon absolutely killed it.
There’s no comparison. An EV, with the right powertrain and tuned properly, can do amazing things. That being said, as much as I’m an EV guy… I LOVE the vroom vroom and turbo and supercharger noises. Mostly turbo noises, but I love a nice cammed out V8 too. Or a V12 revving to 9k. So many nice sounds. That’s the one thing I miss when watching EV Motorsport in person. Don’t miss the sounds when driving one, but when watching it is missing the spectacle.
Fascinating interview with Wyebot and hope to learn more about their technology as it relates to EVs, WiFi in parking garages, and hospitality industry. Northeastern EE / MBA grad here too.
I'm glad you appreciated it! This topic is definitely behind the scenes a bit, but it affects the EV industry and I too am watching to see what else they're able to be involved in related to EVs.
Tesla 🥶
It’s insane.
Hello dear friend you should cover all of the ebike archi motor respectfully 😊
I’d love to have more time with the Arcimoto vehicles!
See at 1min06sec how she is holding the steering wheel. First thing tell your student the seat position, steering position and then take them on the track.
Yeah, that’s my wife and it was for fun! But if we take a more serious crack at it then we definitely will be mindful of those things!
Replace the podcast with a video
I wish I had the time! It's definitely the ideal way.
It is always good to be a squeaky wheel & share the news far and wide. If GM hadn't thought about it before, they now realize in this cash-strapped period, replacement battery packs can be a source of revenue for the company.
Yeah, I hope that someone comes up with an affordable option.
⚡️I voted for and had some laughs with Steven last year. He's such a good guy. I will have him help me find an electric vehicle someday.⚡️
Awesome!
Pretty sweet looking car that Green with Black Rims looks great😊
Thanks! I've always felt that any brightly colored car looks good with black rims. This however really turned out great!
There's hardly any rain the video. Based on the title, I thought you would cover scenarios where heavy rain water has entered the recepticle and port.
It was a decent amount of rain... but I can see where that doesn't come across in the video all too well. The main purpose of the video however was satirical. The reality of EV charging is that there isn't any risk of charging in the rain, even if it were a hurricane, because there is never any electricity flowing through the wires until after the plug is connected to the vehicle and the charger and vehicle communicate. Before charging starts, they go through a process that also includes an "all clear, go ahead" command. As a result of this communication first feature, you could even dunk the charger cable into a bucket of water and it wouldn't cause any issue because there wouldn’t be any electricity flowing.
@@EVResource interesting
SHOULD HAVE PUT A BAFANG MOTOR IN IT
Definitely not a good idea. The time and money wouldn’t be worth it.
I have a 2016 Spark EV. GM and the dealers know nothing about the Spark EV the dealer that i had test my battery, told me they did not know that there was a spark EV. And GM customer service Reps Just hangs up on you when you ask Question about the car.
Oh man. That’s horrible! I’m sorry that you haven’t had a better experience… sadly I get it 💯
Slow charging is a bummer. Hopefully future models would get NACS charging.
I think it’s safe to say that every EV in North America will have NACS a few years from now
@@EVResource 2025 is The Target Year
Yup
Steven is awesome! More people need to take action like this.
Agreed!
youre continuing to drive once you are at zero SOC as you have a reserve amount of kWh. So as an example a car with say 80kWh gross, would tend to have an upper and lower buffer of 2.5kWh each (so 5kWh) which leaves 75kWh usable, but 5kWh isnt showing within the GOM, so 0-100% is normally around 70kWh. 5kWH when you hit zero (reserve power) then the buffers of 5kWh giving a total of 80kWh
Once you get to know a specific EV, it would result in feeling more confident about that.
@@EVResource nope, you still crap yourself when it hits 1%😂😂😂
which dealership you get your car serviced does make a difference... took my v6 camaro to dealership in Huntsville Alabama, they told me I needed a new engine.... take it to the dealership in Durham North Carolina, I needed a new thermostat
For sure! I’ve got so many stories about dealerships getting it wrong. It’s funny actually, when I first got the Spark EV I called a few local dealerships to ask about the car and two of them had never even heard of it! 😳😳
The problem with blink is their uptime and ux is utter garbage, also they have only a couple fast chargers.
It’s clear that Blink is focused on improvement and fixing a lot of the problems. Hopefully your experience will improve as a result.
So impressed with this interview, I was compelled to join Steve’s FB group. Since Bucksport has EV chargers, I’m planning a road trip this spring. Where is their best lobster roll?
hey John!!!! Carrier's in our town!
Glad you liked it!
Good job Steve, hope I can meet you one day in my trips too Bucksport, sounds like I won't have a hard time finding charging
Steve should be given a position with the Bucksport Tourism or Economic Development departments.
Great job Steven!! Keep it going! #EV4ALL
I can’t wait to see what he does in the coming years!
Great interview, Zack. We’re big fans of Steven at Green Wave!
Thank you! I hope this inspires others to follow in his footsteps!
I had not heard this information and I am thankful that they will continue to be offering batteries. I bought my spark EV one year ago and while it’s battery is currently doing just fine I have been a little concerned about what would happen if it had a sudden failure.
So, please watch the latest Spark EV video I made and join the Spark EV Owners Facebook Group. All is not well with these cars and the way GM is “supporting” them. Turns out I was lied to, and I would NOT expect to have any options from Chevy if there is a problem. Not trying to rain on your parade, but I wouldn’t own one of these cars at this point.
I’ve been driving the 1.2L CVT since 2015 and not had one single mechanical issue. Only about $40 a month in gas. Although the electric torque of the EV I am very envious of haha.
Yeah, the Spark EV was a pioneer of modern GM EV technology (after the EV1 that is) and it’s a shame that they didn’t build them to last longer.
