I have 2 x Prius - one is an original 2001 model (NWH11) that is still going strong @ 270,000kms (albeit on its' second battery) - now named Lazarus ('cos it will not die )  The other is a much newer Prius C that is hardly used at the moment as the Memsahib and I try to run Lazarus into submission.

My day to day car that I love the most is a LEAF that I  charge with excess solar most days in the summer at least.  This is effectively free travel, but I am annoyed that I have to lift the bonnet every couple of weeks to add washer fluid

I also created a solar diverter  to fight back against the loss of FIT (Feed In Tariff) - PALADIN.  The hardware is relatively simple - the firmware / software - not so much.  But everyone needs a hobby ....

You can see PALADIN in operation in real time at my house on 'YouTube' by searching for ' PALADIN DESKTOP'.   There is an explanation of the AI / Autopilot element on there also.  (PALADIN.NZ) has more details.

I can make PALADIN write its' data stream to the SLR blockchain - but I don't really see the point at the moment.  Later it might well be a sensible way of combining the 'medium data' from an individual unit to 'huge data' from many, rather than use a server side process.  We shall see what the new wallet code looks like.
