    Pray for my wallet

    I had a cat under the hood of my 1980 Mustang, resting in the engine bay. After I left for work, my wife called me later to report a dead cat where the Mustang was parked. When I returned from work, I saw the dead cat and its head wound. Seems that it could not get out as soon as I started the...

    Is there a 120v outlet in my mach e

    Well, if the first electrified Ford was the hybrid Escape in 2005 and it had the 120 VAC outlet, I expect all electrified Ford's and Lincoln to have it, too. Only the Mach-E missed that goal.

    Is there a 120v outlet in my mach e

    If all Ford hybrids have it, why doesn't the Mach-E?

    Highest mileage Mach-E on this forum?

    Chevy Volt owners had a Web page that posted traveled miles for any owner who was registered with Chevy. The top milage was a GM employee who passed 100,000 miles in four years. He posted that he never lost any battery range. I believe that Chevy posted an article about that.

    Still No Pet Mode?!

    So if Ford adds Pet Mode next year, it is virtually ahead of Tesla.

    Still No Pet Mode?!

    In my 2014 Fusion Hybrid, I can leave the car on with the fob inside, turn the A/C on at a set temperature, open the door, leave, close the door, and lock it with my two dogs inside. The car will chirp once the horn as a warning that the fob is inside, but the compressor is loud enough to...

    Installed 240v outlet but Ford mobile charger shows yellow light

    The dryer probably needs a 30 A outlet, while your Ford EVSE needs 50 A. Check your oven/stove appliance outlet.

    EV Charger Risks: Home Charging Installation Risks and Advice [by Munro Live]

    The screw in type is mostly General Electric. My home, built in 1976, has the Zinsco plug in type. Last week I added a new 100 A dual pole breaker to my main panel. It cost me $120 at Amazon .

    Why is EVSE so expensive?

    Those are not metal "donuts". They are current sensors . I know because I built a Juice Box EVSE from a kit.

    Why is EVSE so expensive?

    My JuiceBox 16 kW Level 2 EVSE cost me just $200 from a kit that was on Kickstarter in 2014. I set it up initially for just 7.2 kW on a 40 A breaker and finished it in December 2014. Then in January 2015 Chevy presented the Bolt, which can take up 7.2 kW, so I guessed the future. I wired it up...

    Tesla owners and CCS chargers.... They are invading.... and Rude!

    I lived in cities since I was born, yet one of my parent's homes that was built in 1964 had 230 VAC wiring. I know because I repaired the electric stove and oven, and it had a large three prong, 230 VAC 50 A plug, and the hot water heater used a 230 VAC 30 A plug. If you are not planning to...

    Tesla owners and CCS chargers.... They are invading.... and Rude!

    Tesla is following the old saying:"If you can't beat them, join them". So if they started with a propietary charging connector to compete against the SAE J1772 standard, and cannot beat them, then they are joining with an adapter. I see Tesla giving up to use the SAE CCS standard in all future...

    Can Standard Range battery be replaced with Extended Range battery?

    I know that the li-ion battery will last a long time. But some chemistries can develop a "memory" from low usage such that the range can drop. I recommend doing a full discharge and charge cycle once every few months. This will also reset the range calculations.

    how to lock the car with out PAK, and with out taking the key fob out of jacket

    This keypad on the door frame is a feature unique with Ford and Lincoln. So every new Ford or Lincoln vehicle will have it. Use it instead of the fob and lengthen the fob cell life. I use the keypad more than the fobs of my 2014 Fusion Hybrid and my fobs still have the factory installed lithium...

    That is easy to do. Just break up a main water pipe on the road.

    Hydroplane/RWD

    Check the tire pressures. Add a bit more about 5 more PSI. Higher air pressure reduces the footprint which increases the pressure per square inch upon the wet pavement, increasing grip. Michelin, the world's best tire maker, sells harder tires just for this type of driving. They have more groves...
