I wrote a short goodbye post on Reddit as we enter the last hours of Apollo. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support over the years, it’s truly been the journey and dream of a lifetime building this app and meeting so many people. 🥰💙 https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14nb5qs/today_is_apollo_for_reddits_last_day_and_i_just/

Today is Apollo for Reddit's last day, and I just released its last update. 🥹 I just wanted to say a big thank you to the folks who have used and supported Apollo over the years, it's been the dream of a lifetime to build this app over the last 9 years. ❤️ Read the eulogy inside! ❤️

Hey all, With that, Apollo's last update has landed! It includes: - Some fun easter eggs! - Tidies some things up for the closure later...

Alrighty, my car is now powering my fridge, freezer, modem/router (which happens to be a very power-hungry Starlink modem) and laptop.

I will leave this setup in place for 24 hours and will also use the car's power supply to cook meals during this time.

I want to know exactly how long the Vehicle to Load* function can realistically keep me going through a power outage. I predict close to a week, but soon I'll know for sure!

*This V2L function/adapter is unique to Hyundai/Kia E-GMP cars
