Got me thinking it would be cool if there was a way to read a small region of the main CMOS sensor every, say, three seconds at the cost of that region being missing in your main exposure.

Then no need for a second sensor and would eliminate the final con of finding a guide star!

One nice advantage of a "smart" charger (here in the UK at least) is allowing access to EV-specific electricity tariffs.

For example, I request 35kWh per charge and the supplier sends a schedule to the EVSE to spread grid load/maximize renewables.

In return I pay ~75% less for the energy used.

I've got a joke about Odysseus but first enjoy this free gift!

Oh, and the per-mile cost of energy is 90% less. That's a heck of a strong motivation to get over range anxiety!

Interestingly I don't get the "Korean siesta" in mine.

Perhaps it's the charger doing it.

I usually limit the DC SoC in the car and it seems to stop charging immediately at the target.

I got a 2021 model at the end of last year; certainly had range anxiety initially.

However, my wife and I liked to stop on long journeys in our petrol car anyway.

So the only difference to our lives is we no longer go to fuel stations otherwise.

We spend LESS time refuelling.

Neat how you can see my oven's thermostat kicking in every few minutes though.

I feel like you'll appreciate the live usage chart I get from my electricity company.

It is more excusable when you see it represented as cost but I still find the idea of Wh/m amusing.

This video really peanut butter jelly.

We stan green mario.
