Calculated as close as possible our trip from Vancouver to Vancouver. Over 7220 km ( I put the lowest amount I could confirm since I forgot to set the odometer before...) and we saved ~350 CAD compared to gas in BC. That means we have saved about ~8000 dollars over the last 3 years of ownership...

We just came back from a ~7500 km roadtrip in ours from Vancouver,BC to Tomstone Territorial Park,YK (at the furthest). The absolute best vehicle I have ever driven.

I was trying to take a picture of the mountains (and the view), but the clouds in the sky got in the way! 😅

This is great! I will need to explore how to switch over my current subscription to the student one. Either way, the text in the button is clipped on Firefox mobile (android).

Mine is not a Yubikey, but the wireless mouse dongle. Custom board allows for an external USB-A port as well! So a two in one essentially! Don't mind the terrible soldering work! 😅

One of my favourite parts about living in Metro Vancouver, that I did not expect, has been the amount of flowers.

It's been a busy year, but happy with the games I got to play and enjoy!

With the new controller support for Guild Wars Reforged, I thought I would finally try PC emulation on android. Works surprising well with widescreen and all. May actually prefer this over the Steam Deck.

This part of the budget is bullshit though on first reading. Luxury goods should be taxed at higher proportions, not removed.

I also think this kind of change can be beneficial in the short term. Can't always be used, but now is the time to use these one time exceptions to capital assets. Won't change investments alone, but it may well help (won't hurt) based on the broader context.

I also have an Ioniq 5 and as a data nerd I did the calculations for how much I saved on gas. All in CAD, but on 60,000 km (~40k miles) we saved $6000 in two years. About 50% home charging and fast charging each.

Major update to tabev.org just released. Currency conversion was possible but had a few issues so it was not fully supported until now. Going into the profile and setting a currency, will now update all charging sessions (your original data is safe) to that new currency. Why do this? 1/2

I'll add it to the site later (with an actual video), but the URL should be driver.chargepoint.com/charging-act... and the image below.

Also, after two years of ownership with our Ioniq 5 we probably saved $5000 CAD on ~50,000 km. I'm missing a few sessions, but only about $500 max. Current charging networks that can be imported are: Electrify America, Electrify America, ChargePoint, BC Hydro, Flo and Electric Circuit.

New features shipped on tabev.org! Vehicles can now be added on the user's profile (clicking on the user's name in the header), the vehicles can then be added in the new Manage Sessions page, with the future road trips teased. The home page has been updated, and I fixed the contact form (oops).

Why did I make tabev.org? It was because I personally want to be able to know how much I have saved. Both the amount of money and emissions saved are a large part of owning an #EV. Having the data can also help convert people to EVs. An early build, but improvements to data accuracy is next.

Summary of Total Emissions Saved (kg CO^2): 9117.53

Summary of total liters of gas saved : 4000.

Shaun Guimond @shaunguimond.com · 02/04/2025

I'm building TabEV for the #EV data nerds like myself. Currently, once you import charging sessions from Electrify Canada, Electrify America, Chargepoint, etc. you can view the summary page where you will get detailed reports on your charging sessions. Soon™️ you'll also be able to compare...

2024 was the year of the Dragon (Age). I had a blast returning to Thedas. As always, I always have a survival game at the top. Enshrouded is great and worth a try if you haven't already! Share your Steam Replay!

Look who has comments on his blog now with Bluesky 😮🥳 This is just the MVP, mostly doing this to learn how to work with the Bluesky API and hone my skills. I need to make it look better since this is just a very quick tailwind setup right now.

Guess who added a link to BlueSky to their website? The plan is to do a lot more if I can figure out how to fetch my posts...

Interesting, looks good! I did something similar through this github.com/LeoDJ/FW-EC-... It involved some minor soldering, since I ordered the PCB completed for me. I didn't want to bother doing the smaller components. It came out great and now I have one for my G305, and another for my M3S.

Absolutely loved playing Dragon Age Veilguard! The environments are stunning and the story was fantastic. I have my qualms, but overall it is likely my game of the year.
