Added thought- If the charge controller does not have a Black wire, check continuity between the metal body of the charge controller and the chassis. It relies on mounting bolt/s to provide reference ground to the regulator. A bit of corrosion under there will cause your problem. Unbolt, clean metal to metal contact, and try again.

With engine stopped, switches off:- 1. Resistance check between Black wire coming out of charge controller & Batt neg terminal. 2. Resistance check between Red wire @ charge controller & Batt pos terminal. Expect almost zero ohms. Any higher restance will limit charging. With engine running at fast idle:- Measure DC voltage between Red & Black wires @ charge controller. Expect about 12 volts before starting, then at least 13 volts rising to 14.4 volts as battery (hopefully) charges. If this voltage is not the same as voltage measured @ Battery terminals, problem is poor continuity between charge controller & battery terminals. If the voltage @ charge controller does not rise with engine running, check the AC voltage between each of the three stator wires coming into the charge controller - all should be equal. Generic circuit - yours might have some difference but this gives you an idea of how it all hangs together.

Don't worry too much. There's always the option to amalgamate the fading Republic of United States of Trumpistan into the fading United Soviet Socialist Republic. That would give two ageing sociopaths a claim to fame. They can both be winners with the bigliest deal in the world! What shall we call it?

Or, you could put it all on a horse. Unlike shares, you know the probability of a return. About 1 in 15 chance of a significant dividend, with the benefit of getting it without waiting for board meetings, etc, which might not happen for a year. P.S. Do not take advice from me, I am not a reliable source.

That was the local economy. But coinidentally, The Old Empire was losing its ability to 'rule the waves', at about that time.

What happened to those original hemp attempts? I don't remember any mention of it when we were at school And I don't know what invoked 'Underscore'.

They were right about that bit....... sort of.

So, you expect me to believe that Trumpy didn't invent tariff wars? Or that tariffs might have long term problen for the world? Shocked, I am. Shocked!

Yeah, but.... Sure, it's Artificial. But not Intelligence. I have met people like that. They would never achieve Grande Mastere though.

Maybe we should revise the common usage of the words 'race' & 'racism'. Last time I looked, folks from 'other countries' are all of the same race. Likewise all humans regardless of their skin pigment or language. So in the above discussion, wouldn't a Paki be of the same race as a Anglo Aussie? Aren't we all members of the Human Race? Racism? Bah!

I am humbled to be graced by the presence of so many Grande Masters! I bow to your superior grandiosity

As Nev said, whether petrol, diesel or electric - the harder you work it, the less range you get. Adequate power can come from any of these sources. A big advantage that EV's have is great torque from zero rpm. BTW steam is like that, too. Piston engine has zero torque at zero rpm.

Read up on the Tesla electric conversion kit - when fitted to old series Landrovers. No problem with getting enough torque to climb serious 4wd stuff.

The future of A.I.

Maybe not only an EV issue.....
