    Level 2 charger can add 2-4 outlets per lamp post. Available commercially in the US. We will see how it goes, but a step in the right direction to make EV charging more palatable. https://www.voltpost.com/

    Battery based vehicles of today and tomorrow pt 2

    Relevant in many ways as previously explained. I will refrain from a menial retort out of respect for others on this thread. About 1200 lbs per 100 kwh battery pack lets say roughly so you understand there is a range depending on the mfg and driving conditions. Range is about 250 miles if...

    Weight matters. It wears roads, puts more stress on bridges, wears tires, and could make the vehicle larger. On the flip side it makes EVs safer in a crash against an equivalent sized vehicle. Good and bad. You have a “battery pack” of basically a few thousand small AA batteries in your...

    This is another one of those “potentials”….we have seen many of these in the battery tech world over the past 10 years. I have yet to see anything hit mass production so I am not holding my breath. However, this is a thread on battery based vehicles so this is relevant to share. I hope it is...

    Moving 2,000-pound feed tote on a pallet with Massey 1759

    Also I would try and experiment away from your truck if you do. If the loader fails on the way out your tailgate is going to get trashed.

    Look for advice on tractor purchase

    You want 4WD. Hay baler = HP. Think small square bales for horses at most In this HP range. For the dirt work, weight matters not HP. For the road it depends on how compacted it is. You can help by trying to grade it after a light rain when it’s a bit softened up. You can always drag...

    Mice are not nice

    In the spring it's all out war for me. I have multiple traps, baits...have found the best thing is to kill as many as possible....I keep everything in sealed spaces as much as I can. Exhaust pipes if not vertical and high are covered with wire mesh. They are relentless. I also have packrats...
