Re: Quick Public Charging

Will,
The EV1 List members have already achived an easy 180 miles on
hwy with the cruise control set to 60 mph. When I was in LA for the
CARB workshop #2, I rented an EV1 gen2 NMHi, and I got 160 mi
on flat at a steady 60mph with a 10% reserve still left.

I drove around the hilly area near the SCAQMD campus to totally 
drain the EV1 pack, and then charged the EV1. It was not hot that 
day and the available power was 208VAC to the gen1 Magnecharge units.

It took 6 hours, I checked the charge indicator every hour to
have the personal experience. The RAV4 next to my EV1 took 6
with 20% still left on the pack. The SCAQMD driver stated that 
the RAV4's that had the inductive port did charge slower than
the RAV4's with the old conductive charging (non AVCON).

William I thought you drive a EV plus not an EV1. 
What do you drive these days?

-FYI, the present NiMH EV1 range is up to 150 miles on a 
very good day, not 180. But the recharging time is not 
at least 6 hours... with a 240 volt charger, it takes 
3.5-4.5 hours for a full charge unless temperatures are 
very hot. On my trip to Montreal/New York, average trip 
segments of 120 miles were separated by 2.5 hour recharge 
stops. /wk
