But you don't have to wait: You can rent (via turo.com) an EV (Bolt, Kona, Tesla, etc.) for a day or so to get some EV driving experience in and test out your charger.
No non-Tesla's on Turo in my area, and the Model 3 and S that are there have 3-4 day minimums and are $500+.
Yeah, I'm already blowing through a lot of money for the MME and the charger installation. And have 2 Escapes in the garage now. Last thing I need is to blow money on a rental I don't need. I looked at Turo once out of curiosity and they were expensive.
Scratch that - I guess there is a 2015 Model S that I can do for a day, but looks like only during the week, for $150. Not sure I want to spend that just for a day. If I get the Mach-E and realize the Grizzl-E isn't functioning correctly I can just plug the Ford Mobile EVSE into the L14-50.
Ah yeah true if you're aren't in an area where EV's are popular....
There are no incentives of any kind from the power company or the state here in SC. The only upside is the sales tax on cars maxes out at $500.Hi all, in case anyone else in the Seattle area is serviced by SnoPUD: https://snopud.techniartmarketplace.com/offer/
That’s huge savings! Car sales tax here is between 8-11%. Unless you buy an EV for less than $45k, then it’s tax free.
According to this install guide, it has 2 wiring configurations:
$1500, yikes. How long of a wire run?Well, after $1,500 to install a 240 / 50amp outlet in my garage, and $649 for a JuiceBox 40 Next Generation, I finally have everything installed. All that's missing is an electric car! I'm taking a huge leap transitioning from ICE to BEV, but I'm ready, and there's no turning back!
Ya, it stung. The breaker box is in my basement, on the opposite side of the house of my garage. So, electrician had to run it across the house, and up a level, and out to the garage. I keep telling myself it will be worth it.
That's exactly what I'm facing, almost the exact description of location. And you're named Dave. Are you future me?
