This is kind of far out there (and not my top suggestion), but as I was contemplating some difficulty I've been having with getting one tire where I want it to be in terms of pressure, and also noting how the cold is affecting the tire pressure, I found myself thinking more about how tire pressure also affects vehicle energy efficiency and range, as well as the inconvenience of having to stop at a gas station to deal with it. So (again, I know this is a bit off the usual path) I found myself wondering:
- would it be possible (and practicable within cost, weight, complexity and other constraints) to build into a vehicle that it could simply control and optimize tire pressure at all times?
- If that is not really a viable option, perhaps an EVSE manufacturer might take a look at selling a version of EVSE that has an extra tire pressurization hose? After all, the EVSE is already connected to high power and is already being hooked up to the vehicle periodically in the house. I haven't researched this at all, so kind of flinging the idea out there.
