My 2021 Premium was taken into Cochran Ford Butler on Monday and four days later (08-08-24) it isn't done. They worked on it and test drove it at least six times and each time an overheat motor warning arose on my Ford Pass. It is sitting in their garage on their L2 40 amp charger overnight...
Now that many have had a chance to use our adaptor or Magic Docks at Tesla locations, why wouldn't we want to move towards using a lighter weight and more flexible cable in the future? Is this combination more expensive than what exists at current ccs locations?
Stopped at the nearest Ford dealerdhip with newly installed DCFC charging stalls for brief learning experience. These were labeled 500A max and were identical to the one Chargepoint labeled stall. Naturally Ford's were in blue while Chargepoint were orange. Side note: After last weekend's...
Took a detour after church and practiced using my A2Z adaptor at a Tesla Supercharger. While charging, Tesla Model 3 towing a travel trailer arrived asking "how much longer". I stated three minutes and left for use. First time I have seen a Model 3 towing a travel trailer.
With the formal announcement that Ford EV vehicles are now allowed to charge at Tesla V3 stations-including those without Magic Docks-I took a look at prices. Wow! Minocqua, Wisconsin Tesla's location charges: ,23cents for 0-60kW, .47 for 60-100kW, .76 for 100-180kW, $1.25 for 180-250kW plus...
This link shows such and it is not only for Ford: Certified EV Dealers - Electric For All Not sure where one can find the latest on EV certified Ford dealerships as some of us want to take our vehicles to such for the HVBJB recall when we are notified.
On Plugshare this is listed as "Restricted". If this dealership is a EV branded Ford Dealership, then doesn't it need to provide a DCFC to the public? Something to look at in the near future.
One photo is from today's (01-19-2024) Ford Authority article of unknown specifications. The other is from: Ford-Pro-DC-Charging-Station-60_120kW.pdf (fordpro.com) showing a 120kW/300Amp unit while a 60kW/200Amp unit also exists.
Photo/graph shows 50A fuse for DC/DC converter and cabin HVAC, a 630A fuse for rear motor and 150/250A(GT) for the front motor. Seems as if the HVAC heater is listed as 6kW rated.
What EV owners have known, believed and/or suspected some of Tesla's vehicle's official EPA range have been inflated as they suddenly were deflated overnight. The Model Y Long Range trim was 330 miles and now is listed as 310 miles. The 2023 AWD Mach E California trim is listed as 312...
Link to the story: A Tesla owner says he got a $14,000 repair bill one day after buying a Model Y. A new report suggests it's part of a much bigger problem. (msn.com) Found in this article:

Via Plugshare report(s), ( Meijer Howard (Coming Soon) | Green Bay, WI | EV Station (plugshare.com) ) the sad story of this station is due to an outside contractor that EA hired to finalize the work. The power company-Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) stated they are on stand-by ready to...
A photo is worth a thousand words. In short, this Ioniq 5 next to me at the Cranberry Twp, Pa. EA station pulled 49kW at 89% SOC and 36kW at 93% on their 800V platform.
Received a new email from Tesla: get a referral from another Tesla owner. Purchase a new Tesla by the end of tje year and receive six months free supercharging.
January 1st may bring some surprises. That local dealership may not be able to perform this future recall if they are not EV Certified. Do we have a state by state list of Ford EV Certifed dealers? Or. Is Ford's pause on EV production/investment making this list meaningless?
Found this on YouTube via Auto Junkies "9 reasons why you should buy the 2024 Mach E". Go to the 7 minute mark to see the captions as shown in this photo. Will this mean US Ford dealers will offer those previously only EU tow components?
