![]() The voltage will almost always be 240V for Level 2 chargers in the United States. To determine kWs being delivered by the ESVE, we take the voltage the ESVE is connected to and multiply by the amperage of the ESVE, before dividing by 1000. This adds a layer of confusion, but fortunately there is a fairly straightforward way to convert the amps to kWs. Onboard chargers’ acceptance rates are generally measured in kilowatts while Level 2 chargers’ power delivery are usually measured in amps. Part of the reason for this disconnect likely stems from the different units used to describe onboard chargers’ acceptance rates compared to the power supplied by Level 2 chargers. Level 2 EV chargers are perfect for home use, but overlooking the onboard charger’s acceptance rate can result in overestimating how quickly your car will charge. Usually, if you look up fast EV home charging or ask your dealer for suggestions, they will recommend purchasing a Level 2 charger. Onboard charger acceptance rate is a topic that is often overlooked when setting up a charging system. That said, if your EVSE delivers less power than your onboard charger’s max acceptance rate, your car’s charge rate will be limited to the EVSE’s delivery rate. However, if you plugged the upgraded model car into that same EVSE, it would charge at the full 7.2 kW capacity of the upgraded onboard charger, taking only 1.5 hours to charge. If plugged into a 32 amp EVSE that has a power output of 7.2 kW, the standard car would only charge at 3.6kW, taking about 3 hours to fully charge. This is significant because different onboard chargers have different max acceptance rates.įor example, a Porsche Panamera plug-in E-Hybrid comes standard with an onboard 3.6 kilowatt (kW) charger, however, for $1,230 more, the Porsche factory can upgrade the onboard charger to 7.2 kW. Onboard charger specifications vary depending on the make, model, and options of the particular car. A car’s onboard charger accepts the AC power from the home and converts it to DC power, which can then be stored by the battery. To solve this problem, car manufacturers build in onboard chargers. This means when you plug your car in, AC power would be supplied to the battery, which it cannot accept. They are necessary because batteries store energy as direct current (DC), but all homes supply power as alternating current (AC). Onboard chargers are built into every plug-in vehicle by their manufacturer. Illustration by Dean Armstrong, NREL What is an Onboard Charger? Source: USDOE (2012), Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for Public Charging Station Hosts. ![]() (In the illustration below, the JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connector, or any other Level 2 EVSE would be the “Control Device.”) EVSE simply supplies electricity to your car’s onboard charger which then converts the energy so the car battery can accept it. This terminology distinction is necessary because the device actually charging the car’s battery is an EV’s onboard charger. EVSE (like the “JuiceBox” or “Tesla Wall Connector”) is often mis-referred to as the “charger”, which although used as an industry standard term, is not exactly correct. Aside from the confusion around Level 1, 2, and 3 charging speeds which you can learn about here, one of the key misunderstandings is that charging speed is entirely dependent on the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (ESVE). While charging a plug-in vehicle seems straightforward, there are several factors that add complexity to the process. Did you think your EV would charge faster than it does? Unfortunately this is a common complaint and it primarily stems from misleading marketing.

![]() Will my employer have access to my medical evaluation?Īlthough the FMCSRs do not require the Medical Examiner to give a copy of the Medical Examination Report to the employer, the FMCSA does not prohibit employers from obtaining copies of the medical examination form (long form). To be certified to drive, the driver should have ongoing hypertension management and be free of side effects that may impair safe driving. These criteria are important because there is strong prospective, randomized clinical-trial evidence that hypertension markedly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and that effective treatment reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Why are the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension important? In general, certification is permitted if the driver does not have a condition, use medication or receive treatment that impairs safe driving. The examiner may request information about the driver's condition from their treating doctor. The decision is made by the Medical Examiner. Certification cannot exceed 2 years, and at the discretion of the FMCSA medical examiner, may be less than 2 years.Ĭan I still get a medical certificate if I have a medical condition that is being treated by a physician?

The results looked more like I was shooting at ISO 1000, like the image below: Bicolored Antbird (Gymnopithys bicolor) NIKON D500 + 400mm f/2.8 ISO 16,000, 1/200, f/2.8 DxO PureRaw vs Topaz DeNoise AI Tropical forests certainly do not abound in light, and so I was shooting Bicolored Antbirds at ISO 16,000! I didn’t have high expectations, because such an ISO is already well beyond my comfort zone on my Nikon D500 crop body.Īfter going through DXO PureRaw however, the noise was amazingly low. I first tried PureRaw on my photos from my summer bird photography workshop in Ecuador. If you use the standalone PureRaw program rather than using it as a Lightroom plugin, it simply outputs a Raw DNG for further editing. Only when I wasn’t happy with the result would I apply Topaz DeNoise AI, which is generally regarded as the gold standard in noise reduction.ĭxO PureRaw takes a different approach and applies denoising and (optionally) sharpening to the source Raw file. Until recently, I processed photos entirely in Capture One (my usual photo editor). Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus). For example, it is often necessary to apply masks so that the effect is applied only to the problem areas and does not degrade sharpness where it is not needed.

Version 2 has some useful compatibility features not found in version 1, including applying the PureRaw edits directly to photos within Lightroom. It ouputs a Raw DNG file so that you can then edit it as usual in your favourite Raw editor like Lightroom or Capture One Pro.ĭxO PureRaw is on its second version, so the full name is officially DxO PureRaw 2.

Here’s a rundown of what’s in the new DLC drop. It comes with over forty skins, a huge map with locations all over Bikini Bottom, minigames, collectibles, and more. The DLC was created in conjunction with Minecraft creators Spark Universe, and this has to be one of the biggest DLC packs I’ve seen for the game.

Beginning in 1.0, Hero Soul quests also scale to the Quick Ascension value the same way, resetting when upon transcension. For example, a mercenary that grants 100× Gold in 15 minutes will give 115× Gold if 10 or more zones are to be beaten before collecting. On a Gold quest, the Gold reward will scale to player progress: it starts based on the highest current zone, will increase as zones are gained, and reset upon ascension, even after the quest is complete. (One can do a 48-hour quest, and go offline, while the mercenary quests, but they can't do 288 5-minute quests, even with all 5 of their mercenaries.) Also, mercenaries only quest offline if the quest is long enough. Shorter quests have a much higher reward to time ratio, but require much more micromanaging, and can, in fact, be less efficient, as there is a bit of delay between, say 5-minute quests, as there would be a need to click on the quest.

For example, if a player has 15 hours left on a quest and activate an 8 hour Timelapse, they will now have 7 hours left, while a 24 or 48 hour Timelapse would finish the quest. The store purchase Timelapse affects mercenary quests as well, subtracting 8, 24 or 48 hours from the quest time. Once a quest has been chosen for a mercenary, the quest cannot be stopped or changed until they are finished. The size of a quest reward bonus is based on their rank/level, rarity, and time it takes to complete the quest. Choosing another available mercenary to a quest may open up better quests for a higher level mercenary. Each time a quest is accepted, a new set of quests is created, but until accepting a quest, any mercenary may be sent on the current set.

When a player has no mercenaries, they will automatically get one for free (this will happen instantly if it's a player's first mercenary, or it will take 8 hours when all of their other mercenaries have died).
