Misdirected anger and logical failures | EVTV LLC
For the sake of my mental health, I know much better than to read comments online. It doesn't matter where - Facebook, articles, YouTube, wherever. The only good place to read comments is on evtv.me! The others are almost all full of bad takes and toxicity. But sometimes, I just can't help myself. I almost
GM Blazed the Wrong Trail – 2024 Blazer EV | EVTV LLC
I spent a weekend with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV in the hopes that I'd develop some solid opinions on it. And oh, boy howdy, did I. There's a disappointing mix of positive and negatives to unpack about GM's new all-electric mass-market crossover. Most EVs I've gotten behind the wheel of have been a pleasure
What’s a little voltage between friends? | EVTV LLC
Recently it came to my attention that not everyone knows why we put diodes in reverse on the connections to some things. In fact, I recently gave some questionable advice in regards to what needs a diode for protection and what doesn't. So, let's get into it! First of all, what is it we're trying
Honda Gets Throwback Right - EVTV LLC
Throwback models can be hit-or-miss in a lot of cases, and brands are taking the very life and soul of an oldschool treasure into their hands when they bring one to market. Sometimes they do it right, like Ford, with the Bronco or F-150 Lightning. And sometimes they do it wrong, like GM with the
Hyundai on the Straight and Narrow? - EVTV LLC
My opinion on Hyundai/Kia is far from black and white. I’ve been impressed by their styling – often decent, yet inconsistent. Rental Hyundais of yesteryear have seemed well equipped, especially in the infotainment department. The last one I rented had Android Auto back when that wasn’t common. Don’t get me started on their apparent struggle
My Little I.C.E. Cube - EVTV LLC
Once in awhile, a person has to take a deep look at themselves and realize when they’ve made mistakes. When we were younger, it might have been realizing how mean it is not to share toys with a sibling. When we’re older, it’s things like choosing the wrong major in college, or taking the wrong
Fast, Fun, No Gas. Reasons for EV Adoption - EVTV LLC
For the past few months I’ve been on the “rubber chicken” circuit speaking to local business groups and service organizations about the benefits of electric drive as a viable alternative to I.C.E. vehicles. While most people are quite amenable to the concept of electric vehicles, with an EV owner or two now in each audience,
There’s Only One “Absolutely Proper” Jeep - EVTV LLC
Ever since electric cars started to go mainstream, back in the early days of the Model S, I’ve often expressed an opinion that electric fits best in two different, often overlapping situations – plug-in hybrids, and high-torque applications. Plug-in hybrids like the Volt appeal to me because they offer the fuel savings of electric for
Did Karl Benz See This Coming? - EVTV LLC
EVs have been evolving over the last few years from their position as purely a luxury buyer’s car. With options like the Tesla Model 3 inching ever closer to “affordable car” territory, it seems like EVs are finally starting to look like sensible purchasing decisions. But many of the higher end EVs, flashy and fast
Really Righteously Radical Robots Rampage Repeatedly - EVTV LLC
AI has been everywhere recently. Sometimes the news is great! Sometimes AI found a new drug or a new way to search for a disease. Other times... Well... So, what happened? Does Google Gemini know something I don't? There actually *was* a female Pope once. And, it is possible that upwards of three popes in
I think I’ve got the vapors… - EVTV LLC
Recently, Toyota has announced the death of the EV. I was sad to hear about this, given all I've invested into the electric vehicle world. But, is there any truth to this assertion? Will ammonia fueled vehicles make EVs extinct? I have some doubts. Toyota has long been the buggy whip manufacturer that says cars
EV owners getting fleeced at the plug? - EVTV LLC
Recently yet another article was posted that compares the price of charging an EV compared to an equivalent gasoline or diesel vehicle. https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-charging-cost-versus-gas-car-truck-suv-2023-7 But, is it true or has the author mined the depths for the highest quality manure? Well, from the smell wafting upon the wind, it seems the truth isn't to be found
CCS is dead, long live CCS - EVTV LLC
It has probably escaped no one's notice that Tesla is having a good month. At the time of writing, GM, Ford, and Rivian have all inked deals to use NACS in their vehicles. So, it looks as if the supercharger network has won and CCS is dead. But, is it really? Let's take a peek
Everything in total discord! - EVTV LLC
As some may have noticed, there haven't been proper forums here in a long, long time. After the new server was setup a forum was poorly attempted by myself. Whoops, I messed that up! It became nothing but a pit of SPAM. So, those forums were deleted. However, time marches on and the means of
Cruising the electron superhighway - EVTV LLC
I bought a Chevy Bolt EUV around a year ago but haven't taken any long trips until recently. I decided to have a small vacation and also to visit the EVTV headquarters for a couple of days. I live around 550 miles away from Cape Girardeau so I knew I'd have to fast charge on
Tesla Kristallnacht – The CyberTruck Wardrobe Malfunction – EVTV LLC
November 21, 2019. The night of the broken glass for Tesla Motors. We think it may be one of those strange seminal inflection points usually unrecognized at the time, but hailed in arrears as THE moment in time. On this night, Tesla Motors transitioned from challenger to the status quo automobile in
Grid Wars – EVTV LLC
The oddities and ironies encountered in the march of technology forward are legion.EVTV videos are consistently about “how”. But once or twice per year, we try to share a bit of the “why” behind our sometimes perplexing wanderings from one apparently random project to another. It is true that I can
Kilowatt-hours per hour per hour per hour – EVTV LLC
Recently it was brought to my attention that I may not be as careful as I should be about the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours. Yes, it’s true. Wash my mouth out with soap and slap my hands. However, our use of kilowatt-hours in the sizing and capacity of electric vehicle batteries do
The little engine that could – EVTV LLC
Let’s talk about motors and engines. Arguably, they’re kind of important to the driveability of your car or truck. Those of us who have ever had to try pushing a vehicle down the road can attest to how truly wonderful it is to have a different motive source of power than your own two legs. But, an e

Now, don’t make a fuss dear, I’ll have your SPAM – EVTV LLC
As, no doubt, many of you noticed, it has been impossible to register for an account on our site and impossible to get a password reset email. Basically, no email related functions at all worked. But, as luck would have it, guess who did not realize this important chunk of information? So, sorry abo
The Tesla Conspiracy… or Am I a Dead Whistleblower? – EVTV LLC
I generally eschew conspiracy theories under the rubric that little explained by conspiracy cannot as well be explained by incompetence and that the occurrence of stupid is vastly more common than the occurrence of evil in the hearts and minds of men. But it is also true that it can only be a consp
Look, ma, no hands! – EVTV LLC
Self driving technologies have been in the public eye for a number of years now. In fact, according to Elon, we were going to have self driving cars several years ago. Well, we do, sort of. What’s the definition of self driving again? It can be famously difficult to define what we mean when we say s
Bolting into the future – EVTV LLC
As we progress through 2022 we find ourselves at an exciting time for electric vehicles. Tesla has been building momentum for around a decade and has taken the world by storm. It is to the point where more than half of all the electric cars you see on the road are some form of Tesla, usually the Mod
