This would be a very inefficient way to charge. If you can plug in to either AC or DC charging, it will be more efficient and cost less. This is because even the _most_ efficient combustion engines for cars are only about 20% to perhaps as much as 30% (for the most efficient ICE cars)...

I regularly turn 1-pedal on and off. If I’m in stop & go traffic I usually want it on. If I’m on the highway (not in congestion/slow traffic) then I want it off. This is because when I back off the accelerator I want the car to coast … not brake (and this is more efficient because you do not...

I selected the Harvester because Scout says we can change our order and, at the time, it seemed like the Harvester would give me more options. But I already own two EV’s, am used to traveling long distances with them (trips requiring multiple charging stops) and don’t have range anxiety...

I have two EV's (both Mustang Mach-E) and live in Michigan. I've been through several winters. In the low 30's (F) the range is off about 5%. In the low 20's it's more like 10% In the 10's it's about 30% When temps are close to 0 the range is off about 40%. BUT... this assumes no battery...

A lot of cars now monitor engine usage and the car tells the driver when it is time to change the oil (rather than a pre-determined interval based on miles or months) based on usage patterns. I have no special knowledge … but these systems are pretty common.

It’s a nostalgic look … but unless you’re going to put a person there, it does not provide any other functional value. I prefer the functional benefit I’ll get from the console.
