Yes the logic is ultimately implemented in analogue circuitry but the SNR is so high in these circuits that the probability of bit error is vanishingly small and parity check bits render it effectively 0. Once the weights have been fixed the transfer function is completely deterministic.

The typical panel that goes on a roof produces, after conversion losses, about 290 W in full sun. To give you an idea of size I have 45 of them on the roof of my generously sized 3 car garage. A typical SC will deliver 150 kW. It would take 150000/290 = 517 of these panels which would cover 11.5...

I guess you haven't been following Rivian Forum recently. Posts are pouring in reporting problems of various degree with the CCS network in general - not just EA though they get their share of black eyes too. In many of the gripes the user eventually got a charge but after extensive interaction...

Airplanes? Boats?

I cannot imagine what sort of miswiring would lead to an event like that. I'm not sure what you mean here. A panel can usually be (and often is) fed with aluminum wire (though some jurisdictions forbid it) and I think sub panels can be fed with it too, but branch circuits have to be copper and...

Most of the non-Tesla stations seem to have some sort of RFID card. Fiddling with that isn't really much of a problem (relative to having had to open the frunk and fish out the CHAdeMO adapter). What is frustrating is if you can't find the RFID card.

Yea, that's me but I checked and my Alma Mater's Savoyards seems to have existed well into this century.

Quite seriously, there is a long standing problem in Australia where the young (insert politically correct term for the indigenous people) sniff gasoline to the point of intoxication.

At taxpayer expense only to be mown down by vandals and copper thieves. I wouldn't either and i really fear that so many will also feel this way that BEV adoption will be slowed and/or limited because I am very cynical about a workable charging solution for the hoi polloi.

I'm not so sure about that. Never did an experiment. 2,2,4 Trimethyl Pentane (iso-octane) has a solvently smell for sure but it does not smell like gasoline (of which it is the major constituent) so the aditives in there definitely influence the aroma.

Apparently someone misinterpreted my post as saying it’s OK to leave a battery at 0%. It doesn’t say that at all. It is my policy to stay out of the bottom 20% if possible.

Very important that people understand that leaving a battery at 0% may not damage it at all (e.g 0% set for 3.0V) whereas letting it sit at 0 V will most probably destroy it.

HPWC in use. Located so as to keep cable off floor: Same HPWC with wand stowed in internal "socket". No electrical connection: WallBox Pulsar stowed. No internal socket:

I don't know anything about the baking industry but I do know something about brewing. It takes a brewery years to develop a new beer worthy of being included in its portfolio. In the brewing industry there is plenty of tasting along the way (that's why the fermenters and lagering tanks have...
