Anthony Horton<p>The software updates for our car continue to be rather unusual by software update standards.</p><p>1. They're infrequent. <br>2. They come with a changelog more informative than "bug fixes and performance improvements"<br>3. They each noticeably improve the user experience. </p><p>There were a couple of updates pushed out in early 2024 that tweaked the active safety systems to eliminate false positives and other annoyances, added multi-finger touchscreen features for AC control, etc. This is the first over the air update in about a year, and it brings a lot of UI improvements. And Zoom, for some reason.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a></p>
Anthony Horton<p>"Sorry, I can't come to work, my car has software updates to install."</p><p>Weirdly I have actually been looking forward to this. I know that this update includes some fairly significant improvements to the UI &amp; UX, in particular a customisable control bar at the bottom of the screen that stays there when Android Auto or Apple CarPlay are running.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a></p>
Anthony Horton<p>Grid power was restored at 1.22 am (17 hours 43 minutes after it went out) but I was in bed by then so our car continued to supply power to our fridge-freezer, WiFi, etc. overnight. By the time I disconnected everything from the V2L adaptor it had been providing power for us for 24 hours and used a total of 7.2 kWh in that time, leaving the car battery at 91%.</p><p>The V2L adaptor goes back into its storage spot in the sub-basement of the boot, and I've decided to keep one of the 30 metre extension cords and the power board box in the frunk just in case I need them when on the road.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/V2L" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>V2L</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VehicleToLoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VehicleToLoad</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a></p>
Anthony Horton<p>So far so good. The scheduled power outage started about 7:40 am, but I was able to quickly restore power to the fridge-freezer, the NBN box &amp; WiFi router, the lizard's heat lamp and lighting, and my working from home monitor, laptop, etc.</p><p>I have the Vehicle-to-Load adaptor plugged into the car, two extra heavy duty 30 metre long extension cables plugged onto that inside a weatherproof power board box, and a mess of additional power boards and extension cords inside the house. Fortunately, apart from the fridge which is directly connected to the V2L adaptor, it's all very low power so having lots of long cables will be OK.</p><p>Being able to work from home pretty much as I normally do on Wednesdays is nice, but not having to worry about everything in the freezer defrosting is really, really nice.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/V2L" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>V2L</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VehicleToLoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VehicleToLoad</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a></p>
Anthony Horton<p>Range anxiety? Not me!</p><p>This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to &lt; 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricCar</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYD</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BYDseal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BYDseal</span></a></p>
