OP: So you don't have an EV yet and you have a NEMA-6-50 in your garage? Since the Ford mobile charger has a NEMA 14-50 plug, I would just change the plug to a NEMA 14-50, one of those industrial rated brands as you already have wiring suitable for a 50 amp circuit. Then buy a 40 amp EVSE...
I had the same Ferrari response in the early days in 2021. I responded that they at least both have horse symbols. There was also a well informed elderly lady who responded, “Is that one of those electric Mustangs?”
Yes, EVGo Autocharge+ is great. It's been months since I used it but just plug in and you are charging. While you don't need the EVGo app to initiate I seem to remember the app giving you a charge curve of KW rate vs time.
Bet you didn't plan your trip through SD, ND or eastern MT. When you have a specific route to drive you have fewer options for charging. Tesla network addition will be a game changer. There have been EV’s towed from Murdo, SD to Wall, SD when the ONE fast charger at Murdo was down. The...
The route from Colombia to Memphis should be more doable once you get the Tesla adapter, but the stretch south of Cape Girardeau still looks iffy for a std range battery. Plugging in to ABPR shows Tesla Superchargers at St Louis and near Cape Girardeau but you likely need a working charger...
It should show in the FP both EA and Tesla network with a check mark to indicate it is active if you have the Plug and charge switch turned on. Mine showed up within 24 hrs of the OTA update.
Hit UNLOCK button on the FOB 3 times (if you have your FOB). Probably won't work, but it worked on an ID.4 at EA when I was there. The owner called EA out of desperation and was given those instructions. Worked on that car and the owner was happy.
There are 120 million households in the US. 30% of them are multi-family dwellings of which 75% own at least one vehicle. So that is around 27 million vehicles minimum. I'm speculating that most do not currently have Level 2 charging at their household. Where are they supposed to charge...
Fatal error in your range calculation. Range meter is not range travelled. It is an estimate of your future range at one point in time. The item that is most a accurate is your odometer mileage. Maybe the % Battery is the next most accurate. Hopefully the mi/kwh for the trip is...
I'm interested if you know how the Xcel Energy program works if you have an attached garage with your breaker panel in the garage and your 2nd line comes in via a meter collar attachment to your main meter. I am also an Xcel Energy customer. If I understand it correctly this would allow Xcel...
Yes, good suggestion but define winter. Would that be winter in Florida or winter in Alaska. Some would still say, Ford said I could go xxx miles in winter…they are lying. 😀
Yes, a good suggestion. I did use dielectric grease on my self-installed connections on my 50 amp EVSE circuit to the NEMA 14-50 plug. I also put a thin coating on the JuiceBox 40 plug blades. I checked the temp of the connections recently and everthing is “cool”.
