I only have a hard 10watt panel. I have a hard time thinking they are adding controllers to cheap 10watt panels. I literally just have a Renogy 10watt it was like $30. Mine are aluminum framed hard panels almost 9 yrs old left out all yr they work great zero issues. My controller is a generic...

A hard panel 10watt easily maintains a 12v battery. I use two of those 10watt panels to power my camping setup?. One panel easily maintains the battery But two controllers no bueno

Even the Bronc Sport shows creativity with an otherwise bland boring “Escape” rental fleet vehicle, some tweaking and getting more serious about ability both cargo, and off pavement and they have a vehicle that puts the RAV and Outback to shame.

25yrs in Toyota trucks I didn’t even bother looking at anything they made when I went shopping for a new ride. Even my wifes plug-in hybrid not a Toyota absolutely crushed the Prius in interior quality, Technology, safety, quiet ride (can actually speak to people on the phone while moving) even...

If my Expedition could do 12-18miles EV it would be perfect for my needs. My wifes Plug-in Fusion during this COVID home office and no sports was the local EV trips car. Its a C level interior vehicle and larger footprint than our Subaru Outback. No need for a clown car when large, very nice and...

And why I have a 3.5L twin turbo truck, and a plug-in hybrid at home. Why my house has been basically 100% solar powered for 6 yrs, and why I don’t have a battery backup on my house. I have a 3500watt gas powered generator ?. 30-45hrs a yr the generator gets used, its a cheap efficient solution...

Honda divested its entire Hydrogen business including its investments in the supply business. Which was interesting given Honda is the definition of boring cautions business decisions lol. The ultimate solution will be fuels for specific uses where they work best. EV’s will no doubt be the...

Neighbor owns a chair lift / disability van fitter shop. He’s not too worried about it given apparently they get unique help from Auto manufacturing and figures there will some type of licensing type if deal to certify shops for the specialized work. Not much different than say the utility bed...

Nope serious issues with warmer waters creeping into cold water currents from Alaska. The predator for the Urchin is a starfish which was decimated by a disease also tied to warmer waters. Urchins like the warmer temps the starfish not so much.

Mike I usually agree with you, that wasn’t the whole state. It was a region of Southern CA that had issues due to AC use ie heat wave, and limited power generation due to not getting replacement generation built. Also the long line grid equipment running south was maxed out due heat no way to...

So I’m going to guess that you aren’t aware of our urchin problem and a kelp loss problem thats reduced our kelp by 80+%

A texas news source on wild fire safety shut offs? LoL Let guess you Googled that to prove your point? Also the typical out of context quote? Are you a former Fox news person?

Yeah well my old family farm used steam machinery first that really got the ball rolling regarding land being worked. If you think passenger cars and light duty vehicle regs are the same as farm equipment ?. You flunked farming 101

VW was caught cheating and nearly 1 billion in fines are being used to build out EV charging infrastructure in CA. Oh and we didn’t have rolling blackouts due to infrastructure issues in 2020. We had PSPS power shut downs due to wind events and wild fire risks different deal. The last time CA...

LoL 2025,, it’s pretty bad when GM has you beat with stuff hitting the show room sooner and the hybrid thing was started by Toyota ?‍♂️. I’m pretty sure Toyota designers all left the building in 2005 and its just been the body shop guy adding filler to the fender presses the last 15 yrs ?

My 9yr old setup is like your only far cheaper stuff. The solar controllers do have a small draw, my trailer is outside so the 2 10watt panels are just left laying on the trailer yr around. Its s closed system due to the solar controller. I used a cheap no name fuse box and used a ground bar to...

Eco or boost there is a reason many say that. Under load the eco boosts like their fuel.

I suspect the redesign due in 2 yrs will be far mor interesting than the old Australian Ranger warmed over for the US market. I liked it but at the time I had an Outback and two kids, rear seat space was a major concern. I have a 2019 Expedition today, its awesome and easily competes with the OB...

Likely depends where you live regarding how popular the EV truck idea is. In my hood where a 1960’s 3bd 2ba 1900 sqft updated in1980’s is selling for just shy of 2 million ?. A 100k EV is meh childs play lol. I won’t be buying a EV truck. But a Ford Mach e with $7500 in tax credit makes it...
