Some one made one himself with a 3-D printer and posted the code as well... If you have a 3-D printer...$90 is pretty steep for a piece of plastic. https://www.printables.com/model/847791-lightning-weather-guard?lang=en

Reminds me of all the alerts etc one can view in Windows Administrative Tools Event Logs - PC works fine despite a bunch of logged warnings etc.

Put a $5 motion activated battery powered stick-on light in there then way your hand to make it come on. Works for my Nissan Leaf charge port in my dark garage. Then you can see the light button for the bed better.

I use this one when driving in Amish country...

Yes it reminded me of a UFO also, in particular the one I heard the last time I was abducted and experimented on.

Yes many failures of the Ford MPC have been reported as well as the non-Ford branded one the Webasto Go (sold on Amazon). Keep for emergencies, not suitable for everyday use probably. Covered by the 3 year B-B warranty.

I fill my swimming pool with a hose, takes a long time, especially island time. Never tried it when the temp was below 0 though. The smoking mountain behind my house is the volcano on the island of Montserrat which has dumped lots of ash on my house and in my pool over the years. Quiet since...

Jeek Vinsen? Wasn't he a rock'n'roll guitar player back in the day? He had a tune Race with the Devil didn't he? Maybe I'm mistaken though...it was more like rock-a-billy

Indeed. I once was making a delivery of electrical supplies to a construction site (one of my youthful jobs) when I noticed a pickup truck parked on an incline start to roll - it was in gear but parking brake not set, I jumped into the front seat and slammed on the brake pedal, set the parking...

Why I always charge at home. When there are enough choices out there for DC Fast Charging maybe there will be competition and the prices will drop. On the other hand, utility electricity costs are expected to rise, though often only as much as a local regulator commission will allow. My 2012...

Our Prius hybrid does the same. Having the current kWh per mile number would be helpful...but how accurate is the remaining kWh capacity in the battery? Still a guesstimate.

Maybe the solution is to put some sled dogs in the back in case of emergency battery depletion? But seriously, if it were me and I lived in MN (which I wouldn't) and chargers were few and far between, I might consider putting a gasoline generator in the back as an emergency for when the dang L2...

My basic takeaways are what I expected: 1) temperature is critical and too high a temperature is really bad for Li battery cells (so I will continue to avoid Fast DC charging, charging before letting the pack cool down, etc.); 2) battery life is also based on charge cycles (0% to 100% = 1...

Yes. When the EV charging options and/or battery capacities get better, no need for hybrids anymore. Locally I use an EV (Lightning or 2012 Leaf) exclusively, except to drive my wife around in her Prius with it's handicapped placard so she doesn't have to walk long distances. Lightning I am...

Thanks for that btw...been reposted many times I'm sure!

Can't really get 80A for that price anywhere else...yes Grizzl-e but the review of the 80A were mixed.

You're in Virginia - Dominion has EV and off peak programs, I am on the EV and Home one they started back in 2015 (I think)...so, when you do net metering do they eliminate you from participating in those programs? I want to put solar on a retirement home I inherited from my parents on the...

Is that how it works? Dang, I never figured that out - I thought since the button on the dash is a one push that the underneath the frunk one would be too... I often accidentally hit the alarm button when trying to hit the Frunk FOB button twice, usually it happens late at night when the...

Maybe it's slow because of people who enjoy severing limbs and running over small children, lol?

220V is what it used to be, the standard is now usually more like 240VAC in my neck of the woods. Caveat for the EVSE tax credit: The tax credit for an EVSE is limited to certain geographical areas based on income data from the census - see the publication.
