Setting Guardrails? - Missing Remote

V2L is cool, but it's not a real option for home backup - Missing Remote

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), as demonstrated in the video below, is seriously cool. If you have an EV that does it, there will be scenarios where it could be awesome; like saving your food during a power...

There's a lot I agree, and disagree, with in this video :) - Missing Remote

Smart panels are cool. I firmly believe this, but I also believe that they probably aren’t the right way to solve the limited electricity supply problem, at least not yet. The problem is cost. If a...

I don’t talk about CPUs much anymore…: missingremote.com/news/2023/…

I don't talk about CPUs much anymore... - Missing Remote

But that doesn’t mean I’m not still interested. It’s more that not much that I’ve found interesting has happened in the last few years. Sure everything is getting faster, but at least in the PC...

IRS Publishes Tax Credit Guidance For 2023 Electric Vehicles: missingremote.com/news/2022/…

IRS Publishes Tax Credit Guidance For 2023 Electric Vehicles - Missing Remote

OK… I guess it takes seven seats, or is it all-wheel drive (AWD), to make an SUV? But why does AWD matter for the ID.4, but not the Model Y, or Mach-E? This matters because not-SUVs price out at...

Make an ISO from a DVD/CD on Windows 11 - Missing Remote

Making an ISO on a Windows 11 (and maybe Windows 10, can’t remember when I figured this out) is a lot harder than it needs to be. So I figured out a way to do it using defensible tools i.e. no random...

Bring Your Own Cable Isn’t A Great Idea, Especially for DCFC: missingremote.com/blog/2022/…

Bring Your Own Cable Isn't A Great Idea, Especially for DCFC - Missing Remote

Every so often I see this idea that EVs should carry around their own charge cable, both for Level 2 (L2), and occasionally DC Fast Charging (DCFC). While I can respect the validity of the L2...

With Respect, Fred. Back Left Isn't A "No-brainer". - Missing Remote

TLDR; Tesla Supercharger design is creating issues because other EVs have charge ports in different places. That the folks at Tesla didn’t think to design around that when they retrofitted Supercha...

Something is wrong, really wrong, with the Android 13 Bluetooth Stack - Missing Remote

As I’m sure many you know, Android 13 introduced the new “Gabeldorsche” Bluetooth (BT) stack, and as far as I can tell there’s a lot wrong with it. Now, that’s not to say that it’s totally broken,...
