Correct but not 12v battery. I've learned this tips from this forum. Lots of people knows about this. If I summarize it, Power Flows as, Traction battery -> DC DC converter -> DC AC inverter -> 120v 1500 w on/off switch - >120 v 1500 w outlet. ON/OFF switch may be in elsewhere in circuit. If...

The story starts gradually from the motive how efficiently I can utilize PHEV for emergency back up power, since I had bad memory of power out. From several people here and there advise me with different point of view. Their advises were good but every advices becomes no use because I am driving...

What a great answer that simplifies the the burden of choice which looks like a stone of Sisyphus to me. But anyhow, I have to burn gasoline under charge mode from time to time with ease(I am not serious anymore) because my driving distance is too short for the computer runs the ICE by itself...

I have same plan. Not because it is completed result of engineering, but because I would help it to be better sooner. Baby of the EV cannot beat all grown ICE but EV is the future of us. The market is like a cold beast. If we buy more ICE, industry will improve on ICE more, if we buy more PHEV...

Thank you for your encouragement. I am just sorry that I tried to save a little bit of money but failed. That's it. Thank for you encouragement. I did exarate of my instant filling.

I like your wide range of eyes on the EV in general. I totally understand the point we have to concern about. But there are so many different eyes to see the current car and battery industry. So I would like to add a little bit of my opinion. I think the market of car and battery industry is...

Thanks for your reply. All my effort to find out the way to save money concluded unavailable. First, my driving miles is too short. My annual driving is 1,000 miles. I first thought that I can use all through out the year with EV mode, and charge the battery during night on 120v wall outlet...

Good advise. In the mean time I asked to the clubhouse(maintenance office) about Solar panel but they are negative. Construction Code not allowed in our community.

Thanks always to you. I think you have broad and deep knowledge on electric field. Then I can use charge mode with confidence to run ICE during driving not to sleep ICE for several months by using EV and Charge Overnight Only. I have to consume 4-5 gallon for 3 months disregarding my annual...

What a professional information!!! Since your opinion is so much based on data sheets, I spent some time to broaden my knowledge on new tech batteries, but I am not qualified to such a deep knowledge. I cannot draw any beneficial conclusion Because my Chemical-Electrical-Material related...

So you must be offroad enthusiast. That looks good. I was just a regular commuter, who has some engineering curiosity all around, but I was busy to work as employee. For your information. I once had a bad experience of power outage, it still makes me thinking about emergency back up power...

I am really sorry for such a silly question while your answer is too much in detail. In these days when I search forum, my head is spinning and I don't know what I am doing in this post. I just found that my house is not qualified for solar panel because of construction code. I must be totally...

What a great advise. I just started to run charge mode instead charging from AC outlet because I have to consume a certain quantity to maintain sound IDE because I drive short distance in a whole year. I have to quit this plan to save battery life. I am really in dilemma as much as I search...

It is very fresh and intelligent way of thinking approaching to EV and Environment. I like it

What could be the system requirements if I plan to charge every other day from solar system?

Good advices. That was exactly my idea. I already bought STA-BIL, but it will not be used I will return it because others say I have to burn a certain amount of gas(5 gal) within a certain period(90 days), otherwise computer gives me a waring to refill 5 gal. I can follow the kind your...

In In general you are scratching on my itching point. I am new to Mits PHEV and I feel comfort on one thing and discomfort in another. Everyday I got new things from this forum. I am not OFFROAD guy, so, I have no idea about how good is PHEV in offroad. The idea I totally agreed with is that...

I don't know why US insist to use Miles/lb unit while all global standard become Meter/Li. Everybody knows that changing National system faces enormous resistance from every industry, and it costs a lot. South Korea changed EVEN FURTHER National Electric Grid system from 100v to 220v by passing...

After I bought Outlander PHEV, I was always curious about why there is a charging mode. I owned Hybrid before this car and it does not have charging mode, because computer controls charging sequence automatically. After a short period of searching here and there, including other issues, too, to...
