A crimp in my style

The loaner crimper from EV America came today.  The crimper is used to put the fasteners on the ends of the 0/2 (very fat) battery wires.  I’ll have some “useful” pictures once I start connecting the batteries.

I also got the bill for my batteries (ug).  At least that’s the last of the major $ items.

Here’s another twist on EV’s powering the grid: EV = Home UPS

Another reminder that there really is very little difference between an EV and a UPS.  The EV just happens to be more portable.  It also reminds me of Robert A Heinlein’s Shipstones from Friday which powered everything from cars to voluptuous robots and spaceships.
