    Why the Chevrolet Volt has low resale value

    Matt just put out a new post on why he thinks the Volt's resale value is so low. While many people are pointing to the risk about battery life and the cost to replace it, it could just be because the new gen Volts are significantly better than the first gen. This doesn't happen very often...

For every month of 2015, the Model S...

    Hey guys, Sunny from MyCarma here. I don't mean to poke my head into the discussion, but I thought I could chime in on a couple of these and offer my input: Thanks for starting the discussion and the great feedback! Yeah I hear you.. there's a lot more that we'd like to do with this...

    Smart Charging Pilot for EV Owners in Toronto

    We're actually looking to capture a wide range of data - not just from users who charge a lot or primarily during peak hours. Having people at the other end of the spectrum would be extremely useful for us, so if you are withholding because you feel your data wouldn't be of much use, just know...

    Smart Charging Pilot for EV Owners in Toronto

    For all the Tesla owners in Toronto here... CrossChasm Technologies is collaborating with the Ontario Ministry of Energy on a smart charging pilot, and is looking for 30 participants from the Toronto area. Participants are rewarded by having their Level 2 EVSE upgraded to a WiFi networked...

    The teams component hasn't been brought up very often (was never meant to be), so I agree it's not a tipping point for people to join, but I also don't believe it's been turning people off either (other than your case). We envision teams being a feature in itself, rather than a mechanism to...

    Thanks John, I think this does a better job communicating what I've been trying to get across. The team component that we have in mind is intended to ENHANCE the experience, not cripple it. By participating on a team, you would gain access to various team-based features, such as team and trip...

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Like I said, we wouldn't restrict access to base features (since we have paying customers as you mentioned), and the app would have a high level of utility whether you're on a team or not. A lot of people have told us they like the social aspect of the logger, so we'll be trying a few different...

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Fair enough. Well we're completely open to all feedback at this point. If enough people don't like the idea of having teams, we'll scrap it. If people want another method to get all functionality, we'll implement one. So far we have received pretty positive feedback though.

    I can appreciate where you're coming from. We certainly don't intend for it to function as crippleware, and core functionality will immediately be available to all users. The social unlocks will simply serve as a fun way to unlock additional bonus features.

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    To add on to the previous comments, we put out an update yesterday (myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger app | Indiegogo) that we will now be providing a free upgrade: either on-board storage or cellular connectivity. This eliminates the need to always have the app connected in order to log...

    Hey guys, just wanted to share the news with you that we've added the Tesla Roadster to our compatibility list as of today (hat-tip to Mark from OVMS). It's still being finalized, but we're now confident that we'll have the signals we need by the time we ship in October :)

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Hey John, I just realized I screwed up in my reply. As I mentioned to you in an email before, the hardware will actually include on-board storage for caching logs in the initial release. Therefore if you don't have your phone on you for a trip, or you wife is out with the car, that data will...

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Thanks again for the continued support John! We're at 40% and over 10k now, and there are still 19 days left (I believe we might also have the option to extend a few days). There's still a long way to go though, so let me know if there's anything I can do to help you support the project. We're...

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    No problem. The answer to this question really depends on where we end up. If it's the last day of the campaign and we're still only at $12,000, then it's unlikely that we'd go ahead with it (for the time-being). If we're inches away from hitting the goal though, its something we would discuss...

    1.) You can get a better idea of where it's located in this thread (first picture): Does the Model S have an OBD-II connector? 2.) Shouldn't really matter one way or another. If a technician needs to temporarily remove the logger, they are able to easily do so.

    No problem at all. Thanks for the support!

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Hey guys, I'm also from MyCarma. I tried to reply to this topic yesterday, but got a pending moderation notification (possibly because I included a link), so I'll give this another shot. The Model S harness definitely isn't $50. As ZBB kindly mentioned (thanks!), we originally screwed up and...

    myEV by MyCarma: electric vehicle logger & app

    Hey guys, Sunny here, also from MyCarma. My apologies on the Model S early-bird pricing confusion. The harness definitely isn't an additional $50. We forgot to include the perk when we first launched the campaign, and weren't able to modify it afterwards. We just got it sorted out though, and...
