honestly even if it’s only a 120v outlet it’ll be way better than nothing, and super easy. complexes should really look in to it, because it would likely add a ton of value.

Next new car purchase: Electric drivetrain

unfortunately san jose feels like a great big freeway these days...

Well, lets see. We added a small 2-pass cooler to the return on the power steering in one of my Volvo S70’s…. Because the system was getting warmer than we wanted on our electric. Pump… we took the pump off the accessory belt, and we installed an electric pump off a 2004 Mini Cooper in the back of the S70 next to the…
