also, whether using the native app for EA or CP or EVgo, or the FordPassApp, I've never seen any 'tax' added, even though they may have a 'line' for it: it is blank, or it is $0. I also don't believe it is correct to 'assume' that the FordPassApp charging/billing email would have a 'line' for...

what I just posted, from the GEORGIA LAW, clearly says that there is currently NO taxes for charging, and not until 2025, whether you agree with that, or not... and no EA screen has EVER shown ANY taxes, at Georgia EA stations. But, if you have proof that you have been charged, please show us.

you are spot on: there is no 'way' to accurately or precisely 'predict' what batter usage you may encounter during any given drive - a computer does not have ESP. Your gas engine vehicles do the same with their 'range' guesstimates - I'm sure Ford or no manufacturer is going to come to your aid...

I hate to disagree about 'taxes', but I've seen nothing from any Georgia-based fast chargers where any TAX is added, after the calculation of the power supplied - and, by law, it MUST be shown separately... also, here's something to consider about the NEW tax-based charging law... Georgia...

and while I really have liked the EVgo units south of the Atlanta airport, LOOK at these 'variable' pricing...

and, as a comparison, two CHARGEPOINT units, down the road at the Tucker Police Headquarters building, advertised at 62.5kw(125kw 'shared', which we know they don't actually provide), and charge a fixed $.048 p/m.... taking a LOT more cash, and a lot SLOWER, for the same charge.

good to know that I've likely allowed my brain to 'transpose' the true cost from p/minute to p/kwh, although, interestingly, the FordPassApp shows the 'Price' as: "$.037 per hour..." which is likely why my mind computed this as 'p/kwh'... as for taxes, no, there are none, and none show on the...

There is confusion on the charge structure, as the unit itself says plainly "37cents p/kwh", just like my FordPassApp shows. Also, the screen, after the charge had finished, also shows $0 taxes, so Ford's email to me translates and relays that the same way EA does on their own screen. This is...

exactly, as the 'weight to miles lost' equation might just reveal that this 'investment' is really more about a comfortable feeling, not the reality of any financially viable outcome. in the RVing world, which we were a part of for many years, it's an ongoing 'discussion' about "how many solar...

...the title proclaims my confusion... and maybe it's not just EA, or maybe I just don't understand the 'charging cost' structure... after 32,000 miles, you would think it would be easy. A) Electrify America location in Atlanta(Tucker Georgia TARGET parking lot) B) 4 pedestals - two are...

Ford, right now at least, does not seem to have a fluid connection between all of their data and systems - you might have a completely different one for the phone App versus the truck's 'App', etc... why? who knows, but since this is a 'legacy' manufacturer, you can imagine that some of the...

Ford will certainly have to prioritize 'which' orders of trucks, or any of it's vehicles, will take priority in the near future - someone who has ordered a Lightning likely will take priority over 'dealer stock', since it's basically a 'sold' vehicle - dealer stock is simply dealer stock. All...

no matter if you complain that your original Leaf can 'only' go up to 70 miles, or your Lightning PRO can 'only' go up to 240 miles, or your new 'future' EV can 'only' go 1,000 miles, there will always be a reason to complain... you just have to make do with what you have, plan accordingly, and...

so..... after trying this new 'IN-TRUCK' charging locator and Activation 'app', at Electrify America, here's what I now know: - Even if you ACTIVATE the charge unit when you arrive, from the truck, and the charge unit's screen shows 'Please NOW plug in', and then you plug in, you still have to...

I 'grew up' with the original 70m/range Nissan LEAF(two, since they are so nice!)... and yep, I have no issues with 'only' 240miles of Lightning PRO range, even though I mostly get much more than that... I learned to 'drive' slowly, versus having to stop more often. Believe me, if you can...

Yes, since Tesla built-out their own charging for their own cars, it makes sense that they have a better experience with charging... let's hope that this translates to us CCS vehicles in the near future... having access to NACS at Superchargers will be nice, and may come in handy, and may give...

some things to consider, with my experience leading you: - You can certainly leave HOME with a full battery, but you will hardly ever again see anything close to 100% while traveling - sitting at fast chargers to get above 80% is a very SLOW process, and to go past 90% is an exercise in...

almost 32,000 miles and towing more than half of that with my 3,000 lb camper... anything is possible if you put your mind and effort to it, and have the ability to 'relax' and understand that all is not yet 'built' for us towing EVs... we just have to plan well, plan for failure, and plan for...

correct: there is no 'charging' possible WHILE the truck is not in park, other than it's internal regenerative charging from the motors. There is no way to 'plug in' some type of external battery or power source that would work while you are in motion, and the truck itself may not even...

I have 1 1/2cents p/kwh time-of-use overnight 11pm to 7am with Georgia Power, and my 30a FordMobileCharger works as my everyday charge equipment... unless you arrive on empty and you need to drive another 250 miles the very next morning, likely few ever 'need' anything more.
