    Cost of DCFC equipment

    Two ChargePoint Express 250 (CPE250) units, wired as a pair, with installation, conduit/wire/distribution panel all the way to the utility meter runs about $350k. The charger stations themselves run about $55k but then you have Network subscriptions, warranty plans etc. Hope this helps.

    AC Air compressor wiring harness melted

    I would argue the same thing. Don't fix it and watch the battery faults come flowing in. That harness should not melt. If your dealer can't find a way to replace under warranty, then try another dealer. Good luck. Sorry this happened to your car. :(

    Are PHEVs the most ideal?

    I have owned several of each (PHEV and BEV). A PHEV is a bad ICE and a bad BEV rolled into one. If you are okay with a bad version of either....then you get both for the price of one. :) I think PHEVs make great "training wheels" for eventual switch to BEV.

    MY21 Blue Cruise Fix Not Covered Under Warranty

    You are correct. I have the same experience on my end. The car works as expected but eventually the software updates will break things. I have 80k miles so warranty is long past. Front camera and other related faults could only be fixed by the dealer updating all the software in every module...

    PAAK Failed, no backup Start Passcode

    Something like that happened to me a couple weekends ago. I now drive a Polestar 2 though. PaaK has been rock solid just as reliable as the fob, until then. Apparently there was an update pushed to my phone for the Polestar app and it logged me out. When I attempted to re-open the app, it...

    Why is it bad to charge to 100% (Nominal/Usable)

    I have only been driving BEVs for a little over 5 years......about 200k miles so far. I charge to 100% every chance I get (excluding L3 of course). Been doing that for years. Is limiting the charge to a lower percentage better for the HVB? Probably. Do I care? Nope. I haven't observed...

    3 months after paying $600.00 for bluecruise

    Similar story with my car. BC (all versions) stopped working several months ago. Eventually took it to the dealer for all new software. It cost me $650 and everything worked for about 3 days. Then we started to get the error messages again at random. Then they started to become more...

    Blue Cruise Discontinued?

    My BCHF stopped working about 2 months ago. For that matter....BCHO stopped working as well. Actually, even regular cruise will not function. No lane keeping, no collision avoidance either. Took it to get checked a couple of weeks ago. They said all the software needed to be updated. 4...

    Hit 100,000 MILES

    I tend to agree. When the MME was my daily driver (75k miles in 27 months).....I charged to 100% everyday. Now that it is passed off to the spouse, it only gets charged to 90%. Could probably go to 80% and be fine too. In a strange twist of fate.... I am driving a Polestar 2 now. It lacks...

    Are codes maintained to show if an alignment is needed?

    No way for the car to determine that on its own. Just rotate the tires and if you observe even wear across the width of the tire then carry on. Almost 80k miles on my car and still on the factory alignment settings...

    MME has been around for 3 years, Battery lost?

    Primarily by observing actual range from a full charge. I still have days where I deplete 50-75% of charge. I used to get an actually 300 miles of range in town on a full charge and now it is right around 289 ish. My GOM has been notoriously accurate since I have owned the vehicle which I...

    Hmm, what happened to "L" mode?

    I must have missed that requirement too. Over 73k miles so far and L has worked normally irregardless of State of Charge. ????

    New PaaK Survey

    Agree. PaaK is completely non functional for me. I try it every day and I can count on one hand the times it let me into the car over the past 3 months. I leave my fob in the car (manually lock the car every time I exit). I have to use the door pillar code. Even then....I would not be very...

    Android Phone issue - people can hear you, but you can't hear them

    Same issue here. Been like that for 3-4 months. The work around is to press the hands free toggle button on the screen and then immediately reconnect back to hands free. Do this when the phone is ringing (if making b outbound call) or immediately after answering an inbound call. Not ideal...

    Is never charging to 100% bad for your battery?

    No. What you are doing is fine as long as it meets your needs. Your car takes care of all the cell balancing etc behind the scenes. You don't have to give it much thought.

    I would buy it again. I have experienced some issues with the convenience features but the critical functions have been rock solid for me.

    Front Camera Fault & Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Errors

    My faults have not returned since I adjusted the cable routing. Or possibly the cable routing issue occurred during windshield replacement....
