I have tweaked it a bit, so now it comes on around 13-14 Hg and pumps up to 15+ Hg. The EV drives like a tank, weighing in at least 3,000 lbs, and it does stop, but I think I am going to upgrade my pump to a newer, more powerful, "quiet" one. I am getting use to it, and drove a total of 20 miles yesterday (4,6,10 miles with charging in between) to break in my batteries, and I may be able to commute in it again next week!
