Did you try the EV Go’s at Salisbury University? They have been pretty good in a pinch, although tough to find the first time. We are in a charging dessert on DelMarVa, and EA does not seem to be in any hurry to solve it.

Every Tesla destination charger can already charge our trucks. I have a Tesla-to-Lightning converter, use it for this purpose all the time. I suspect you are referring to Tesla Superchargers, which are different than destination chargers, which are Level 2 (my Tesla wall chargers are the same...

I have over 265,000 pure EV miles, mostly in three Teslas. My last 12.5k are in a Lightning. I have used Superchargers all over the country since they first existed in 2013. I have used EA all over the eastern US, and have driven my truck on four 1,000-mile+ road trips since July, mostly...

There is no question that running an engine for only a few minutes every so often (like weekly) does more harm than good. This isn’t even a close call. And running it under light load is even worse...

I don’t care what generac says, and whether air cooled or water cooled makes zero difference. Mine happens to be water cooled. The fact is that it is very bad for any internal combustion motor to be started and run for 5 minutes at a time, full stop. Doing so WILL cause premature wear and...

I’m curious as to why you’d do this. You just bought a high-end mega-expensive truck. Now you are going to do a dime-store temporary preventative repair on a part that is KNOWN to have a potential reliability and water intrusion problem. Let’s assume yours is one for which this would be a...

I don’t think it is an outlier - lots of people report not being able to get FordPass linked to their charger or the HIS, just as many of us simply cannot get past 3.5.5 on our trucks.

You make a good point, but that apparently isn’t true for Tesla and a couple other manufacturers. However, Ford is quite conservative with both its battery topping process and ramp-down on DCFC. A 100% charge for us is actually only an 89% charge because there is 14 kWh in reserve that Ford...

This presumes that FordPass will link with your FCSP and provide such control. I have owned an FCSP since August, SunRun installed it in early September, reinstalled it in November, and has had multiple techs to my house including their East Coast electrical superintendent, and three separate...

Mostly correct, as is Mickey. However, Elon Musk has said that 80% is better for daily usage max than 85%. Further, this all ignores cell balancing. I think Mickey may have referenced this somewhere, but Tesla actually has a shop process (accessible if you know how from the main screen) where...

We must run twice per week because of the way our system is installed. We have two separate feeds with two cut-over switches (one for barn and boathouse, one for the house) and the cycling process runs once on each side. I’m not sure about the technicalities on this but that’s the way GroSolar...

Going back to OP’s original question, SunRun will not limit your subpanel size to just 8 circuits despite the form you reference. Disregard that form, no one will ask for it or even know that it exists. I may have missed something in the intervening posts, but the subpanel they installed in...

SunRun has agreed to install a soft-start device on our heat pump because they discovered the excess startup draw issue AFTER specifying that the system could run all critical loads including our HVAC. They installed the HIS with the HVAC lines pulled in the conduit, but wire-nutted off in the...

You are WAY understating the negatives of natural gas generators. I have a Generac at my farm, a 50 kWh 8-cylinder system installed on a slab behind the barn in 2006. It cost $50k to install, fires up twice weekly for 30 minutes, requires a $2k annual service contract, has needed over $8k of...

Huh? This is not Florida law - it is municipal law within Florida - you are referencing state licensing exams and parking regulations at the state level. I referenced parking rules that generally apply IN FLORIDA. In most places in Florida where there is paid municipal parking, because there...

he says no rubbing. I did 35" on my old '21 PowerBoost, had no rubbing.

User error as noted. The +10 setting got me too until I changed it to +5.

Thanks, assu Thanks, assumed that’s the case, I went SunRun/HIS, was installed in September, but they have had zero ability to get it working so far, have sent their top people from Orlando and New Jersey to our place in Boynton Beach, are now escalating to bringing in Ford engineering from...

yes, the handle touch method works BUT requires a slight beat of delay while the car thinks after you shut the door. That there is no walk-away locking with paak is stupid. Teslas has had it for over ten years. Walk away, locks. Approach, unlocks. Simple as pie.

Nice. Nice. I'll be 116 years old and the truck will be 50 years old. Come to think of it, I do regularly drive a 70-year-old MG-TD and a 64-year old VW, so not impossible... for the vehicle
