I've been noticing my 12v battery has been at a low-ish state of charge recently and I've been connecting my NOLO Genius to it over the last couple of nights. I have kept the HVB unplugged while I'm doing this, but I was wondering if I can have both charging at the same time. The 12v output...

I've had my MME for a month and I guess I was a little surprised at my first electric bill. I usually only need to charge 15-20% each night to reach 90% but I've been pre-conditioning the car daily due to the colder temps. How long does the pre-conditioning cycle take before departure time and...

More of an observation than a rant but PaaK stopped working inexplicably after a month of ownership. It was reliable, like 99% reliable, most of the time. I ran into hiccups if I left my phone in my pocket or if the car was in deep sleep, etc. and occasionally I would have to press the door...

I just traveled from Portland, OR to San Diego and didn’t see a single MME. I was a little surprised by that. Lots of white Teslas in CA, tho?

How hardcore should I get about cleaning my car before i trade it in? Is a good vacuuming and a run through a carwash sufficient or do I need to get it professionally detailed? What's the standard here? It's a 2008 Subaru Outback XT Turbo. The body has the usual scuffs and scratches on it but no...

My car hopefully arrives in mid-ish November. I plan on going with the Ford Options program but was wondering how to best apply with Ford Credit. I guess the main questions I have are... 1. Apply online before going to the dealership or just doing it at the finance desk? 2. Attempt to checkout...

If all goes well, my Mach-e will get delivered sometime in November (build week is 9/27). I took another test drive yesterday and confirmed with my sales rep that I'll be paying no more than MSRP. It's the perk of ordering, I guess. I asked how much I should expect to pay for...

My work is adding 14-50 outlets for car charging and we're looking to start building a small fleet of used (cheap) EVs. So far it's looking like 2012-2014 Leafs and early Ford Focus models are within our budget ($6-8K) I've done a good bit of research on the Leafs, but not so much on the Focus...

Just a heads up. The time is nigh! I ordered on 4/23 and just received my build schedule this morning for the week of 9/19. That's 15 weeks from the time of order to schedule assignment in case anyone's counting. Premium AWD/ER in Dark Matter Grey. I know there are a few others on here with...

Today I was able to take an extended test drive of the demo car at my local dealership. One thing I noticed was a slight hesitation followed by a little clunk when the motor engaged after pressing the accelerator pedal. I don't believe it occurred after each stop, but maybe half the time. The...

If/when Ford (or others) develops more efficient battery technology down the road could those improved systems be retrofitted into a car like the Mach E? Seems like it would be a pretty straight forward swap as long as the new tech could fit in the undercarriage. How might that work?
