  1. Trump order freezes funding for Illinois EV charging network

    True, but the guy 49% voted for said he knew nothing about it, and they believe whatever he says.
  2. Trump order freezes funding for Illinois EV charging network

    About half of us knew things were going to be bad, but we were just hoping it wouldn't be so swift and severe. The other half will never admit to anyone that their support was even a little bit of a mistake.
  3. The not-quite-a-boom-arm charging cable management

    We live in a neighborhood with 130 houses. I think only 2 of us have figured out how to park our late model full sized crew cab trucks inside.
  4. The not-quite-a-boom-arm charging cable management

    I envy you people with deep garages. I had to notch into my front garage wall 1.875" and get creative with a couple garage door hinges to park my 2024 Lariat in my garage.
  5. Finally! A simple & effective solution to "locking" your Ford NACS adapter -- 3D Print Lock

    Got my A2Z adapter today. FYI. The primary lock on the A2Z adapter completely resides in the cavity where this locks goes. So although this 3D printed lock is a great idea, it won't work with the A2Z.
  6. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy A Knockoff NACS To CCS Adapter

    Sounds like you have some inside access with them. Regardless, they need to lower their prices to be competitive.
  7. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy A Knockoff NACS To CCS Adapter

    Over twice as much $ as the A2Z on the recent sale. And it's still made in China. (They say final assembly is in the US-That could be as little as labeling and boxing)
  8. Finally! A simple & effective solution to "locking" your Ford NACS adapter -- 3D Print Lock

    I printed the lock, but it's too large to fit with my adapter. So I'm resizing it to see if I can get a good fit. Apparently all adapters are not exactly the same on the lock area.
  9. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy A Knockoff NACS To CCS Adapter

    Just used the one I purchased from Amazon for the first time yesterday on a Supercharger at the Tejon Outlets, and it worked fine. Didn't get very warm either.
  10. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    This is why if you are running new wiring do so for the charger's maximum output. Just my opinion.
  11. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    I looked at my charger's manual again, and they show 2 installation methods which is either the 220 plug using a 50 amp breaker and then you set the max charger output to 40 amps, or hardwired using a 60 amp breaker to obtain the maximum 48 amps. They don't list any recommended wire size like I...
  12. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    Got it. My L2 charger will do a maximum of 48 amps and just flat tells you to use a 60 amp breaker and no smaller than 6 gauge wiring. When I set it for 48 amps, it usually starts at 45-46 and steps itself down as the truck approaches it's preset charge level.
  13. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    OK, so if you use 12 gauge wire does it tell you to use a 20 amp breaker in the installation instructions?
  14. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    How would that even be acceptable? If you used 12 gauge wire, how would the charger even know if you didn't permanently change the max settings somehow? Wouldn't that potentially be a dangerous situation? I'm pretty sure most of these chargers recommend a large enough wire size that would...
  15. ChargePoint HomeFlex HARDWIRED 80amps

    So the charger says gauges 6-12. Is that because the terminals can only accept those gauge sizes? 12 gauge certainly wouldn't be right for this level of charger. And I'm no electrician, but if 4 gauge wire fit the terminals, how the heck would that present any problem?
  16. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Buy A Knockoff NACS To CCS Adapter

    Are there any brands that are fully made in the US? Saying final assembly in the US could be only labeling, packing and boxing.
