  1. Charger inside / car outside - Garage door solutions?

    This is probably a sufficient solution in areas where security is not a concern or an areas where mice and rats are not a concern.
  2. Charger inside / car outside - Garage door solutions?

    My solution was to install a amp 240V repaired breaker and to extend that breaker to the driveway area of my house just outside my garage installing a 50 amp Mima connector inside an electrical box that I bounced to the wall. I follow all code in doing this and now I have a way not only to...
  3. Car owners can't afford their loans any more. It's bad for everyone.

    I mean, it's not always possible. We you are on a small income and your car breaks down, and now you need a car, finding something reliable that you can afford under these terms may be impossible. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you can't technically afford any cars under this premise that...
  4. First use Lectron with Tesla and EA dc charging info/NO MORE FREE EA charging....

    I have not tested / used my Tesla adapter yet, but EA really is just plug and charge. I don’t know why you went through all that. I pull up, plug in, and it charges. I make sure to go to stations capable of more than 200 to ensure maximum fast charge. Most ea stations I go to are capable of...
  5. Car owners can't afford their loans any more. It's bad for everyone.

    If you trade in a car you still owe on, this is when you should be choosing a lease option instead. The lease will get your payment down, as you only pay for depreciation and interest of course. But if you keep your car the full duration of the loan, this is t a problem. I don’t see how an EV...
  6. Can I charge with excess solar only without draining my Powerwall 3?

    When solar generation is charging the power wall and you plug your EV in to charge it, that does not turn off solar. The solar panels are still producing electricity, and the power wall will charge with whatever is being provided to it. I am having a hard time reconciling this issue. If solar is...
  7. I guess I will be driving for free for awhile.

    How is this possible? How do I burn so much electrify? I have 8.6kW of panels (not actually, as I have 400w panel on 320w micro inverted, so 8.6k is all I can use due to inverters. At 8.6kW I fluctuate but that is essentially 90% of my usage without my EV.
  8. What's supposed to come in the trunk?

    By law, they must provide either a spare, a mobility kit, or run flat tires. These cars come with the mobility kit. The charger goes in the round section, but that is extra.
  9. NACS Adapter Ship Date of September 2024 Delayed to January 2025 (Update: This Was An Error by Ford)

    Not sure when I ordered but it was later than many and I received my charging adaptor last week.
  10. Duo EV Level 2 charger

    . I purchased and installed a juice box 40. It has been charging my car since December and I have never had a single issue with the app or the charger itself. Is it possible you just have a bad update on your juice box? Ask for the original question, to charge two vehicles at once on level two...
  11. BlueCruise Autopilot Screwed Up Big Time, Resulted in Accident

    It probably goes without saying, however, you need to take it to a body shop to get an estimate on repair. We can only see the outside panels. We cannot see the frame to see if there’s any frame damage.
  12. What is required in the 90000 service?

    Obviously brake wear depends on driving habits. My 2016 Fusion Hybrid with 130k miles is still on the factory brake pads. Regenerative braking can bring brake wear to near zero. So it makes sense this might be an inspect more than a change
  13. Business Model for Hotel Charging Changing?

    I stayed at Hilton Resorts World Las Vegas. They had lots of chargers on many levels And the cost was around $0.26-$0.34/kWh no per minute charge until after charging is complete. At The Plaza Las Cegas, charging g was free At Treasure Island, I paid around $0.36/kWh and they only had a dozen...
  14. What would have it cost

    Is this just an EV thing you are referring to? I have purchased extended warranties online in the past.. [update] Just looked it up. They are allowed, just has to be in person. So maybe I found it online, but bought it through dealership? I don’t remember it that way, but then, maybe what...
  15. New Prototype Mach E spotted at Carlisle

    Why would someone put Ford and Mustang emblems on a Tesla?
  16. How to access the so-called "Secret Menu" a/o 10 May 2024?

    Not sure what an end user could use this for. Unless remotely assisting support engineers on the phone, none of this stuff should matter. It’s right to be hidden.
  17. Apple CarPlay compatible OBD scanner app ?

    I’m have OBD Fusion, and it does work on CarPlay. I don’t use it on car play, so I cannot attest to how good or bad it is, but the icon is there and I can run the app.
  18. Lightning vs. Mach-E by Owner (of Both)

    My 23 MME is trash too. The phone over heats, and actually loses charge while on the wireless charger. As I understand it, I am supposed to have the new charger.
  19. My ’biggest' issue with the Mach-e fixed

    Could it just be you (not meant to sound rude)? The pin pad is powered by capacitive touch. My 2016 Fusion Hybrid behaves exactly like my Mach e. I don’t swipe, I just tap where the numbers illuminate, and I make sure I press with the flat of my finger or thumb. I tap 2-3 times to wake it...
