My 2017 Chevy Bolt EV at a Tesla Supercharger
This morning (September 23rd, 2024) I took my Bolt to a Supercharger with my A2Z Nac's adapter. Success after I found out how to lock in the adapter with the Tesla plug. The nice thing about Tesla's superchargers is they don't charge a hookup fee and if you subscribe to their monthly fee of $12.99 for non-Tesla's you'll get a discount on each Kilowatt hour of charge.
I found the Supercharger very easy to use once I locked my A2Z adapter to the Tesla Plug correctly.
The new A2Z adapter are better and under $200. Here is a 10% off discount code: STATEOFCHARGE

Lucid Motors August 2024, latest update!

This video was shot last month while I was in Arizona. The footage was shot with my DJI Air 3 and my Mavic Pro drones. There was as many Lucid cars since my last video in April, even though pilot production has started on the new SUV Gravity, none were outside the plant! Next update will be in late October.

The first of August I was in Arizona and shot this video of Nikola Motors. Trying for the first time shooting video with my new DJI Air 3. Unfortunately I didn't know the default Video setting was H.265, my editing computer does not accept that format, so the video was delayed while I learned how to change it back to H.264 format. Enjoy the video!!!

EG4 Rack Mounted batteries and solar update!

All the EG4's- 64 batteries took a full charge. Setting them up to run my new OutBack Redian inverters. Now I have 120Kwh of battery storage, of wish 100Kwh are running my SunGold Power SP6548's.

I purchased 4 - EG4 rack mounted batteries from BatteryHookUp in their auctions. All of them had BMS failure after about two years of use. I will admit this was a bad investment in used LiFePO4 batteries. I did run a capacity test on these 100ah batteries, they can in at 95.5ah, but I only charged them to 3.45Volts down to 2 amps. Battery Hook Up has a very good sale of some new 230ah batteries...

Lucid Motors Assembly Plant update 3-22-2024

It was very impressive walking next to the new assembly plant, I didn't realize how massive it is. They start refitting the assembly plant this summer for the new Gravity SUV. The Gravity will have over 400 mile of range with a large battery pack. Notice the 4 car haulers loading cars there!!! I'm going to do one more fly over in April before we head back to North Dakota.

My first time shooting a video during normal working hours here at Nikola Motors. They had two test vehicles out on the test track while I was there, keep in mind most of the activity happens inside of the assembly Plant. I did shoot some still images while flying high above the Plant. The high flight was so my Mavic wouldn't be visible or heard, being that it was a normal work day.

    As a recent employee there at Nikola Motor I have to say that those are all defective battery packs from their Romeo battery supplier. We had to remove all of them due to fires! There's also several burned Tre Bev 's that are totally burnt and partially buried in the sand there behind the facility. They have also been hydrogen fires with their Hydrogen fuel cell trucks as well. Management at Nikola is terrible and they try their hardest to keep everything hush hush. I worked hands on with these trucks for 2 years and they are complete garbage! Mostly zip ties holding high voltage cable's down from coming in contact with other components. At least 3 batches of hydrogen tanks have tested bad and we were told to still install them on the trucks! I couldn't work there anymore after this. No regards for their employees at all. No wonder they are being sued by their own investors.

Without investors Nikola hasn't gotten that much time left. While I was working there, there was talks about being bought out by a company that is well known and has the capital to keep production going but they also backed out of the deal.

    Seriously, the Mavic's wider lens gives a better overall view of what it going on at the plant. It would be most helpful if you could scan the lots at wide angle all along the east and south side, including all of the lot and enough building so we can get our orientation. Why? Counting the number of inventory vehicles and employee vehicles on a business day is valuable intelligence as to the activities at the plant. At some point there will be activity on the west side of the plant where a rail line extension is planned. There may be other buildings constructed to the west for another project. I do appreciate the videos you make but it is difficult to get much meaningful information from them. One big exception is employees in the east lot. That is Very good news. They are there specifically to work on Gravity pre-production, but you are unlikely to see those vehicles parked in the production lots for some time. You may see one out on the short test track though. Would be a great find if you did.
