Thank you for visiting my hubs. They are such beautiful animals. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for all comments. If I get a chance to ever go to Alaska I will go but thinks for your comments. There are many ways of hunting and trapping I don't like and they go on right here in my own state I would have to move to boycot and I'm not going to do that. The best way to handle it is by boycotting, writing letters or whatever you feel will work. From looking at your pictures, a wolf looks like a beautiful animal but it also seems to be agrssive and dangerous. The area where you live seems to be full of many kinds of beautiful wild animals. I trust you will also be boycotting visits to Alaska since they think it great sport to machine gun wolves from heliocopters. Did I mention how I wrote a letter of protest about this practice to Governor Palin and got back a travel brochure? I support wolf management. The wolf is one of the few species that mates for life.. What a wonderful photo of that black wolf. We have a den right down the road. It is so cool to walk outside and hear them.
There were much overlap in session records, and they replied to my inquiry that they were charging my credit card correctly. The rep replied that they would fix it, but it went on for many more months. 5 out of the blue in addition to my monthly fee (including double billing)! I again inquired about the charge, to which the rep replied it was for something or another. 5 usage, but I never heard back from the rep. Evgo is about the only DCFC available in my area, and losing that service via billing problem would mean unable to drive the car except to supermarkets. When you live in a glass house (or drive in glass charging infrastructure), it’s best not to throw stones. From that point on, I decided to keep a record of DCFC sessions. Even if I can’t do anything about getting my money back, at least I’d know how much I’m getting ripped off. But keeping record has side benefits, which resulted in this wonderful blog post. Things don’t happen for a reason, but one can always turn a lemon into lemonade. As before, analysis is done using Octave. Copy-paste the code below to a text file and run it with Octave or Matlab. I keep it simple, and made it somewhat modular so I can reuse this with my next EV. Side benefit to that is that it can easily be used with other EV, too. As usual, sparse commenting. Only look at relevant group data.
When we tested the previous Volkswagen e-Golf we were getting a range of around 100 miles in real life. A real-life range of 150 miles rather than 100 miles makes an electric car so much more useable, especially if your driving takes in occasional motorway journeys. You can charge the e-Golf from a standard household three-pin socket, but a full charge takes 17 hours. A 3.6 kW home wallbox can recharge a fully discharged battery in 10 hours 50 minutes. Using the e-Golf’s combined charging system (CCS) and a DC supply, the battery can be fully recharged to 80 per cent capacity in just 45 minutes. The Volkswagen e-Golf costs £32,190, or £27,690 after the £4,500 government plug-in car grant. Our test car had the following options: keyless entry (£365), Lane Assist Plus with Dynamic Light Assist (£1,225), and Pure White paint (£280), taking the price as tested to £34,060. The e-Golf comes with 8 year/99,360 mile battery warranty. Of course there is a bewildering array of other Golf models to choose from, with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. The Volkswagen e-Golf is an excellent car to drive, being quiet and refined, with smooth, linear acceleration, and a comfortable ride and good handling. With five doors and five seats, it’s also practical and very easy to live with. The most significant improvement over the previous model is the real-life driving range, which has increased from 100 to 150 miles. This makes the e-Golf a much more viable car choice for many people; in addition to being an ideal car to drive in the city, it can now handle motorway driving much more confidently. Add in the fact that it has just a 9% company car Benefit in Kind tax rate, and it looks even more attractive.
