Kyle from Out of Spec really gives the EV6 GT a HARDCORE thermal test on the Autobahn and it really delivered. Even after 140MPH+ sustained on the Autobahn, with numerous 360 kW bursts of acceleration there was zero thermal derate, which is even more impressive considering it was DC fast charged...

An ID.4 owner was charging at an Electrify America station in Burbank, CA on Monday Aug 21st, heard a loud bang, and his car went dead. While waiting for the tow truck to arrive, another loud bang was heard and a second ID.4 is now also disabled at the same station. The second event was caught...

This is an update to TSB 23-2020 that now lists a remanufactured part number for the HVBJBs (-xRM). They are likely just installing the new revised contactors on the returned HVBJBs, since that was the only part of the HVBJB that changed after the recall. The service procedure was updated to...

Most people set their charging times to minimize their electrical cost (charging during off peak), but if you want to do more to reduce your CO2 emissions you may want to look further than that. The mix of renewable vs. fossil fuel resources feeding the power grid constantly varies, which means...

SSM 51866 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E - Charge Status Indicator Blinking Red With DTC P0E5F Stored In The SOBDM Some 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E vehicles may exhibit an exterior charge status indicator blinking red with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0E5F stored in the secondary on-board diagnostic...

There is no official guidance from Ford yet on cleaning or inspecting your charge port. I recommend cleaning it a couple times per year. A dirty charge port could potentially cause a poor connection, resulting in charging issues such as failure to start, dropouts, or overheating. Please note...

Just like the Mach-E, Tesla previously recommended a maximum daily charge limit of 90% to prevent battery degradation. However, they have just lowered their recommendation to 80% in the latest update (applies to NCA packs, not LFP packs): Of course there is no official word from Tesla why the...

Have the A/C automatically run when the cabin temp gets above 122ºF/50ºC to protect the displays and interior components from overheating damage. Less failed displays. This will also reduce the amount of time it takes to cool down the cabin when departing and will allow BlueCruise to work more...

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/august-america-heading-out-road-jim-farley/ Silicon Valley, LA, and Vegas. We all hope he gets the full Electrify America experience along the way, including waiting in line, broken chargers, and slow speeds. It would be cool if they could prepare a demonstration...

Ford's OTA process can be frustrating at times, with some users experiencing multiple failures in a row without success. Following this guide should increase your chances of success. There are many conditions that must be met before an OTA can install. Some are obvious, such as the car needing...

This is a totally unconfirmed story, but potentially highlights some of the difficulties Ford Model e dealers are having getting their required DC chargers installed by the Jan 1st deadline: This guy supposedly runs a car dealership podcast. I'm not sure if the story is true, it doesn't make...

When FSD detects weight on the steering wheel, the monitoring camera is disabled. That means all you need to take a nap in a Tesla is an ankle weight on the wheel. This seems like a major flaw. Even when being used legitimately, the driver could fall asleep or pass out with a hand on the wheel...

I've developed a fix for the wind noise coming from the side mirrors. Previous testing reveled a reduction in noise when these areas are covered: Others have reported some success caulking the gaps with Dynaflex, but personally I find that a bit sloppy. If the caulk doesn't go well or cracks...

This is a great feature, the BMW app will record the kW rate for every charge session and display it in graphical form in their app: They also give you the option of viewing the graph vs time (timeline) or vs % battery (charge curve): This appears to work for every charge session, L1, L2...

SSM 51783 2021-2023 Various Vehicles - High Voltage Battery Stops Charging With Illuminated MIL And DTC P2C94 Stored In The SOBDM Some 2021-2023 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit a condition where the high voltage battery stops charging when connected to level 1 or level 2 chargers with...

I had a request to look at my charging temps at 40-48A, so I decided to do that and share results of what is considered "normal" as a baseline for comparison. Some Mach-E are having problems L2 charging at 40+A due to software issues, hardware issues, EVSE issues, or some combination. I will be...
