ANNOUNCEMENT
Join my new weekly Alt Energy Zone Blog
I have a lot of upcoming tests, demonstrations and studies on all aspects of Electric Vehicle performance, charging and environmental impact. And I now have promises of test drives and loaner EVs from Ford, Rivian, Kia and Volkwagen. Plus I’m invited to see the Salton Sea Lithium Extraction Pilot Plant and Battery Factories. I’m learning at an exponential rate, which is what I really love to do.
That’s why I’m starting a new weekly SubStack blog called the Alt Energy Zone where I’ll post the good, the bad and the ugly details of what I’m learning about the transition from ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) to EV (Electric Vehicle) transportation.
As always, I study and test everything for myself. So please subscribe for honest reviews and my opinions on if and when EVs will become widespread and practical.
You WILL NOT automatically be subscribed to the Alt Energy Zone just because you’re currently subscribed to RVelectricity, so please subscribe below.
RV Lightning Safety
Lightning season is coming soon. Don't let a nearby strike destroy your RV electrical system.
Chat is now a web browser!
Plus I’m opening up Chat so you can start your own threads…
Don’t burn up your water heater element
Make sure your water heater tank is filled before turning on the AC power

When is a ground not really a ground?
Don't use a generator suicide cord
There are lots of better ways to power your house from a portable generator
Turn off the breaker before plugging in!
