I wonder if Meralco meter readers work on holy week. Our next electric meter reading is on Friday and can’t contain my excitement in seeing our first ever zero export, zero bill this month. (Yes, I know I’m risking jinxing it)

I've noticed that frunks (front trunks) have been only present on flagship EV car models. The Dongfeng Nammi Box has plenty of space under the hood. As an entry-level EV, I feel that the frunk was intentionally left out too.

Season’s greetings! 🧂

I read a lot of opinions that Duolingo is ineffective. They may be right but for me, I feel my French vocabulary and reading has improved. The gamification is enough to compel me to practice for 20 mins every day. Writing, speaking and listening continues to be a work in progress.

Cancelled my Humble Bundle classic subscription after skipping for 6 months. The largest contribution of $4.20 went to Zero Emissions Byron.

Bluesky taking off? What’s happenin’?

We’re Airbnb hosts on break and part of the local hosting community. I booked a trip for next week with our EV and negotiated a charging arrangement with the host.

Today, another Airbnb host asked a question how to handle such inquiry. Offered to help by chat and phone. Hope she reaches out.

Upgraded our home solar energy storage from 16 kWh to 21 kWh. The DC circuit breaker was also replaced with a MCCB which is safer when the battery is discharging.

Getting additional solar modules of 1.65 kWp and EV wall charger installed next week.

Hollering out to the Pylontech gang! 👋

Happy Monday! It has been a week since I last used a public EV charging station. Juiced up solely on off-grid #solar that also powered our entire home. No fossil fuel burned.

With the right policy and support, I believe anyone can do it. Lots of potential energy in sunny Philippines 🇵🇭 waiting!

Second time a gravedigger in a month. Another kitten dead from the rescued litter. I fear they may all be sick. 😿

Is the Filipino still worth dying for?

The rain poured in yesterday making it really dark late in the afternoon. Only made it to 60% charge by sunset. Everything was cooled down around us, shedding load down to around 600 W.

Went to an EV meet up last weekend. Car dealerships had their new models on display but what caught my attention the most were the two conversions that drove in: A 2022 Hyundai Elantra and a Classic MINI.

Very inspiring to convert our Toyota!

My #earthday tribute post is an updated electric bill where we avoided adding more heat-trapping gases to our atmosphere. With our rooftop solar panels and batteries, we consumed 95% less energy from the grid compared to our 2022 usage.

Really keen on getting an electric scooter as our first EV. A small Chinese brand had their entire line on display at the shopping mall next door. With a 20Ah 60V battery and rated 75km range, it would cost around ₱0.18 ($0.003) per kilometer for a full charge from the grid.

Hopefully zero imports next month!

Face palm moment. Question asked in a car group on Facebook: OP wants to know if the catalytic converter should be removed to install an aftermarket exhaust "muffler". 🤦

Hello, world!
