    Go Solar Questions for Texans or any experts

    Here is an excellent source of current solar electric provider plans in Texas (Oncor or Centerpoint). These change constantly. You will have to be on a solar buyback plan and not a typical residential plan. https://www.texaspowerguide.com/solar-buyback-plans-texas/

    Plug and charge not working (am I screwed)

    I had this exact situation in January. Ford Pass would not connect and declined payment. I had to use the EA app to receive a charge. A few days later, I called the number on Ford Pass. (It took three transfers to get to the right department!) They checked my settings in the car and on the...

    Does anyone know why this "Update Postponed" is happening?

    Exact same issue. I've been trying a variety of ways to force it, but no luck. (My 12v is at 14.4) Others have stated the 6.6 update has not uploaded like other updates.

    Charging at Home during Daylight Hours Strategy

    Buyback plans have changed over the last few years and (in Texas) are not as advantageous to homeowners. My excess energy has a buyback rate of 9.15 cents/kWh BUT my charge for energy imported from the grid is 13.3 cents/kWh. This is why I charge on days with maximum sunlight.

    Charging at Home during Daylight Hours Strategy

    This is how I charge... during the day with solar array and reduced fees from the electric provider. I setup my charging schedule from the screen in the MME. (I have checked it from time to time in Ford Pass, but the app is not reliable enough. For example, setting pre-conditioning times may or...

    Insurance Apps

    Sudden braking too with State Farm. Even in Whisper mode. It seems like the State Farm sensor is much more sensitive than the previous sensor (several years old) I had in my previous car. Acceleration is also low. I'm a pretty conservative driver, but that's not safe in heavy traffic.

    Solar Panel Question

    When my 15kW system went live in 2019 my ROI was the typical 15-20 years. One month after the install, I switched out my single speed pool pump for a variable speed model cutting my monthly energy usage. My system generates 25%+ in excess. Bottom line, my ROI is now just over six years. It is...

    I am an idiot: remember to shut your car off

    I've been waiting for the day I do this. I started saying out loud... "unfasten seat belt, turn off car"...just to be sure. Now that I'm getting accustomed to an EV, I think I've got it under control. 😁
