June 26, 2017

I’ve been wanting to get some video of the garage solar panels from a drone. However, I don’t own one, so I just threw out on social media “Hey, anyone have a drone they could bring over?” My friend, Teng, who I know through Drive Smart Wisconsin (originally Milwaukee Hybrid Group) said that his brother […]

Well, it’s not part of any fancy “Brand-Name” charging station, such as ChargePoint, which has a mapping system, iPhone Apps, or other sophisticated […]

Generator Update – 12/12/2010

December 12, 2010

Well, here’s a video showing the basics of how the generator work. I did get all the sheet metal back on the generator, although I still need 18 more metric screws total. (It amazes me how much more metric screws cost than standard here in the States!) I also need to get a muffler for […]

Leaf vs Volt

July 22, 2010

Recently, CNet did a video “prize-fight” of the Nissan Leaf vs. the Chevy Volt. The review is not particularly in-depth, but on the other hand, they were only running off the specs of the cars, they didn’t have either one to test drive. Overall, the review of each car was pretty fair, including the “Apples […]

March 31, 2010

Recently, a friend of mine from the eastern part of the United States had a chance to test drive a Chevy Volt, along with some other members of his local EV Club. As part of a brief post to an e-mailing list, he just mentioned at the end that he didn’t see a Chevy Volt […]
