Question, pwd din ba engine braking to when cruising on slopy road?
I assume to engine brake on EV, you just have to remove your feet from accelerator and the engine will decelerate until it stops.

Have not done it myself but I understand that coming down from Baguio, it gains charge rather than losing it. Tesla has that "one pedal" driving. Nanobox starts moving forward when you take your foot off the brake. I think it's called "creep"

I noticed a mild "clacking" sound during hard acceleration around 30 KPH. Curious about the source, I shot this video inside the "engine" bay. Nothing conclusive but this video is interesting nonetheless

Happy to see our power rates come back to normal

Experiencing a harsh ride on moderately rough roads, I'm looking for a way to lessen this. Maybe lower tire pressure? What is the lower limit of Nanobox's TPMS? Let's find out!

While DDPAI's Dashcam daytime recording produces clear images of plate numbers of oncoming traffic, it fails starting from twilight. Let's just enjoy the ride from Guagua to San Fernando with some parol along the way. DDPAI did capture the stars though

We know that Version 2 has no trunk cover. Here's a quick and dirty hack to provide privacy for our valuables left behind in our trunk.

i gained max of 6% of charge going down Baguio, via Naguilian road.
