Im aktuellen Podcast durfte ich wieder mit einem echten Pionier der freien Werkstattwelt sprechen: Michael Dittmar. Seit über 40 Jahren ist er im Kfz-Gewerbe tätig, seit 34 Jahren selbstständig in Bochum – und bereits seit 2010 mit dem Thema Elektromobilität vertraut. Was Michael erzählt, kommt also direkt aus der Praxis. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt repariert er regelmäßig Elektroautos, angefangen bei den StreetScootern der Deutschen Post bis hin zur Hochvolt-Batterie, an der er längst auch tiefgehende Reparaturen durchführt. Diesmal haben wir über ein Thema gesprochen, das bei vielen E-Auto-Fahrern für Verunsicherung sorgt: den sogenannten State of Health (SOH) – also den Gesundheitszustand der Antriebsbatterie. Michael nennt ihn gerne das „Schreckgespenst“ der Elektromobilität. Dabei sei die Sorge oft unbegründet: „Die Batterie ist viel besser als ihr Ruf“, sagt er. Viele würden glauben, dass die Hochvolt-Batterie beim kleinsten Defekt ein wirtschaftlicher Totalschaden sei – dabei seien die Probleme oft kleiner als befürchtet und schleichend erkennbar. „Die Zelle, die am schwächsten ist, bestimmt die Gesamtkapazität der Batterie“, erklärt er – und genau da setzt seine Werkstatt mit professionellen Tests und Reparaturen an. Ein weiteres Thema war die Möglichkeit, den SOH auszulesen – besonders spannend im Hinblick auf den wachsenden Gebrauchtwagenmarkt. Michael betont: „Kein Tester ist zu hundert Prozent aussagekräftig, aber sie geben eine gute Tendenz.“ Er nutzt in seiner Werkstatt Tools von Anbietern wie Autel, AVL und Aviloo, mit denen sich Zellspannungen präzise analysieren lassen. Zeigt der Tester einen zu hohen Spannungsunterschied zwischen einzelnen Zellen, kann das bereits ein Hinweis auf künftige Probleme sein. Dabei sei eine AC-Ladung zur Zell-Balancierung für Vielfahrer enorm wichtig – das schnelle DC-Laden allein könne langfristig zu einem Ungleichgewicht führen. Spannend fand ich auch Michaels Blick auf die Software-Integration im Auto: Künftig soll jedes E-Auto laut EU-Vorgabe selbst seinen Batteriezustand anzeigen – ähnlich wie beim Smartphone. Diese Angaben würden dann auch eine Rolle bei der Reklamation spielen: „Wenn das Auto selbst meldet, es sei unter 70 Prozent – dann hat der Hersteller da nicht mehr viel Spielraum.“ Michael hält nichts von Panikmache: „Ich bin Werkstatt, ich lebe von kaputten Sachen – aber die Zahl der defekten Batterien ist verschwindend gering.“ Seiner Meinung nach wird das Thema SOH oft künstlich aufgebauscht – und genau deshalb ist es so wichtig, sachlich aufzuklären. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – hör selbst rein in unser Gespräch und erfahre, warum ein kühler Kopf beim Thema Batteriegesundheit der beste Ratgeber ist.

Episode 082 offers a bit of a different trip than the usual Upful LIFE Podcast. This program is focused entirely on Asheville NC & surrouding Appalachia in the wake of unimaginable destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene in late September. The Asheville music and arts community is a beacon of light and creativity, full of ambitious artisans, dreamers n' doers whom I admire. The good folks of AVL and Appalachia need a whole lotta love, positive energy, prayers, and most importantly DONATIONS to continue their long, arduous process of recovery and rebuilding.  This podcast presents four conversations between five different people rooted down in Appalachia, connected to the local music/arts community, and who each lived their own harrowing version of this same nightmare.  It is an honor and privilege to offer a platform for these special souls to tell their storm stories, and ruminate on the realities of the recovery journey. Tune in for emotional, inspirational reflections from Leah Song (Rising Appalachia) and Andy Fyfe, Josh Blake of GFE and iamAVL, Wren Ashley from The Nohm Collective, and Brian Good of Asheville Music Hall.

The region's two rivers carried whole houses downstream. What buildings that remain in the lower areas of Buncombe County are larded with a foot-deep layer of toxic mud. Many people died.  The storm was prodigious. Official reports note that 2,300 structures were destroyed completely or made uninhabitable. That's homes, stores, and other businesses. The Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina was closed along its entire length, and its director said that some 10,000 trees had fallen into the roadway. Parts of the parkway were covered in landslide mud, while in other places the pavement had washed away entirely. In several locations, the North Fork Swannanoa River carved new courses, leaving at least one bridge over dry land and the water flowing a hundred yards to the west.   Along the French Broad River south of downtown Asheville, the River Arts District was completely wiped out. The narrow, 14-mile long Hickory Nut Gorge, which drops about 1,800 feet between the town of Gerton and Lake Lure, much of the road is now reduced to a rocky creek bed.  Estimates for regional damages are currently at $53 billion.   Vibe Junkie JAMZ "Tomorrow's Cost" - Secret Agent 23 Skidoo and Friends "Everybody Hurts" (REM cover) - Al Green   Vetted resources and references Grassroots Aid Partnership   iamAVL - Music Industry Relief Fund   Rising Appalachia [several fundraising options]   Flood Back Art    Katie Flanagan [AVL superhero]  donate here   Art Garden AVL   Asheville Music Hall - Joe Marcinek's Dead Funk Summit 12/6   More resources via ArtsAVL   EMAIL the SHOW PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Theme Song: "Mazel Tov"- CALVIN VALENTINE

How can a mountain town, hundreds of miles from the ocean, be expected to defend itself from a major hurricane? That's what the residents of Asheville, North Carolina and the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains had to be asking themselves on Friday, September 27th, the day Hurricane Helene took a devastating path through the region.In this episode we return to the story of our first-ever N/ATION road trip back in February. On that day we experienced the AVL that we know and love; clear blue skies, and a cold, crisp air that only the mountains can deliver. We happily strolled through The Marquee during that trip in the artist-haven River Arts District, also home to the Southeast's first non-alcoholic bottle shop, NoLo. Fast forward to today. We sit down for a remote discussion with NoLo's new owners Jennifer and Jason Phillips, who had helmed the business for all of 57 days before Helene's arrival. In our conversation we talk about what the situation on the ground looks like one month out from the storm, which decimated an estimated 80% of the structures in the River Arts District, including The Marquee, as part of a wider impact to WNC. We also talk about the value of community in times like these, and how that has helped them begin the recovery process. Lastly, we talk about what's next for NoLo as well as the city after the "biblical" event. While the storm may have washed away the physical store, it hasn't dampened the Phillips' passion for serving the sober and sober curious community in their beloved town.Links/Resources for those who would like to responsibly visit or support Western North Carolina: VisitNC.com DriveNC.gov (up-to-date road conditions and closures)Explore Asheville  (shop, support and donate to AVL businesses)Bright Barrel Brewing (fellow WNC NA business now helping to supply water)Jeter Mountain FarmRecommended options to support the local community (from NoLo):  MANNA FoodBank - Asheville NCBrother Wolf Animal RescueWorld Central Kitchen (still on the ground feeding WNC every day)American Red Cross North Carolina (home and disaster support for WNC)RADA Hurricane Relief Fund (River Arts District Artists, Inc.)Always Asheville Fund (helps small independent travel/hospitality businesses)Global Empowerment Mission Small Business Relief Fund (You Tube video)Rebuild Marquee Asheville (NoLo's original space, home to 300 artists) How to support NoLo:Follow them on IGVisit their website, and subscribe to Nolo NewsVisit WNC and stock your VRBO/Airbnb with NA. Let NoLo help!

Hello from the heart of the apocalypse. I am ok. I am safe and well with my partner Ian in Asheville. We are the lucky ones. I am so grateful. So many are suffering. Struggling. Many are lost. Missing. Hundreds are dead. Much of Appalachia is irreversibly decimated. Water is off throughout the city for the foreseeable future, so we've been without running water for over a week now. (We are on a boil advisory when it finally comes back on. They say it could be 4-6 weeks or longer.) Asheville is not ok. Appalachia and Western North Carolina are not ok. It is worse than you think. It is unspeakable. It is not over. This is just the beginning. We are asking anyone who has a prayer you want to send with us for our beloved Appalachia to please send it to me via email at hello@sinclairfleetwood.com. We are making prayer ties to take to our upcoming gathering to put in the sacred fire. Anything you want to say thank you for, to release, to pray for, anyone who needs to send a message to the Great Mystery, please let us know. If you want to help in the short term, donate to my Venmo ​@sinclairfleetwood​, last 4 digits 5205 There are many great orgs in AVL you can donate to, AND giving money directly to people who live here is awesome. If you know an Appalachian, and have the means, send them some dough. Any amount helps. If you want to help in the long term: ​ Sign up for coaching. ​​Join NEST.​ ​Come to a retreat or ceremony.​ I love you family. I love you Asheville. We will rise again. Love, ​Sinclair

About a month before she turned 103, this is the last one I'll upload here. I wish I could've done so much of a better job. I'll post the rest from this 10 year trajectory on soundcloud — it's wild hearing her change, knowing the lady inside is hardly different at all, the soul the heart the real brain. But things start to come out differently — and the person recognizes the differences between the self and this other thing, this deteriorating thing, this clumsy thing. And for all the same reasons we started recording — I'm here at 35 feeling so much of those same beats. I'm aware enough to know this isn't working, still aware enough to know this ain't it. Of course there are differences, of course of course. But I can't shake that pain, of the dissonance between selves, of the gaps between so many things. Me and me and us and all of us. I miss her. As I write this, I miss you, but there's nothing to regret. I hope this can just exist here like a little water fountain at a park, tap on, running gently if you push the button hard, not bothering everyone else who brought enough to drink. Bleep bloop. Love, AVL
