    We pay between 12 and 18 cents per kwh depending on TOU rate. Makes it affordable to drive an electric.
  2. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    I have a similar system in Florida with 56 400 watt panels. You sell what you don't use back to the utility. You can't adjust the charge rate on your truck other then changing the charger with a lower charge rate. In Florida the utility buys back my power at the same rate they charge me for...

  6. Home charging using 220v

    I normally charge at 39 amps with an after-market EVDance charger at 240 volts which equates to about 9360 Watts of power. I have a 131 KWH battery that works out to about 13.99 hours from 0 to 100% in a perfect world. The time will vary from 80 to 100% since the charge rate is not linear...
  7. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)

    I received mine today in Milton, Florida. I had previously purchased the Lectron which worked fine after their recall. The Ford adapter is shorter and might work better at Tesla SC stations with their short cables.
  8. Anyone getting Concerned that Ford is not in on EV for the long haul

    I think it will depend on the election. I am a Republican but love my Lightning.
  9. How do we access "Tesla Destination Chargers" and Tesla "Station Not Compatible" (according to Ford Pass)?

    Although I mostly charge at home, I have both the Lectron Tesla Destination and the Supercharger adapters and they both work well. I have not experienced any problems yet.

  11. Tesla fires whole Supercharger team [Update: Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

  12. NHTSA recalls Lectron NACS Adapter

    Just received the revised adapter and am going to try it this weekend. It took Lectron about three weeks to replace it. It appears well built, but unfortunately the original was defective.
  13. Some Tesla superchargers showing "station not compatible" in FordPass -- cannot see at in Tesla app.

    The cable was inserted and clicked but apoarently it only takes a small amount of sideways tension to prevent a good connection on the DC terminals. Hopefully they will prodece an extension cable to fix the problem.
  14. Some Tesla superchargers showing "station not compatible" in FordPass -- cannot see at in Tesla app.

    I had difficulty charging with the Vortex Lectron adapter. It turned out that due to the short power cable on the supercharger I was putting some lateral strain on the truck receptical. I pulled parallal into a SC taking up several spaces when no other vehicles were around and plugged in with...
