    Best Charging Stations to use when on a road trip in Canada and US

    In Ontario and Quebec I had decent results with Electrify Canada. As of January 1, Electrify Canada reworked their pricing, approximately doubling costs from last year. So it’s no longer a deal, but I’d probably still primarily use Electrify Canada.

    MyQ Possibly Introducing Subscription Service Model for Garage Door Opening via CarPlay?

    I went with Tailwind, just got everything working. It took several weeks to deliver, probably in part due to people like me replacing their MyQ. Installation was more wiring hassle than I expected - two doors, each with the door sensor and garage control hardwired to the Tailwind unit. But, I...

    MyQ Possibly Introducing Subscription Service Model for Garage Door Opening via CarPlay?

    I think yesterday might have been the end of the road for most MyQ access, in my case via HomeBridge. As reported on Verge, MyQ made an official announcement yesterday, shutting off all "unauthorized" API access. My HomeBridge plugin stopped working yesterday; I tried (twice) the recent...

    Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX30

    The spec that caught my eye is storage behind the rear seat. The Mach-E has decent storage but it's not huge in my opinion. The Ford specs list the Mach-E with 29.7 cubic feet behind the rear seat. The EX30 specs list 11.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat, even including 2.2 cubic feet under...

    MyQ Possibly Introducing Subscription Service Model for Garage Door Opening via CarPlay?

    I'm a longtime user of HomeBridge and the mentioned PlugIn. It still works for me, I just checked to be sure. That's not to say it will work tomorrow, but I checked the PlugIn code and the developer is still actively updating as recently as yesterday, with no mention of API shutdown. If it...

    Worse Than Electrify America? Try Petro-Canada

    Have you tried Electrify Canada? I had pretty good results, especially with the "Oshawa Mid" station which is about 50km from Port Hope. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/michigan-to-quebec-city-and-back-all-on-electrify-canada.30204/

    First Tesla Superchargers with "Magic Dock" CCS Adapter are online... and charged up a Rivian

    Some new pictures show the V4 Superchargers with built-in Magic Docks. The V4's longer cable makes this exciting for Mach-E use. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/teslas-v4-superchargers-in-the-us-include-integrated-ccs-adapter-and-credit-card-reader/

    Road trip with brand new Mach E Premium

    My recommendation is to be prepared. Not sure of your status, i.e. have you owned a (non-Tesla) EV before? Perhaps you already know, but the charging infrastructure is not at the point of what's familar with gas vehicles - wait until near empty and find a gas station. Assuming this is brand...
