Can we purchase a charge station pro from Ford prior to delivery of vehicle, then get refunded when the vehicle arrives with its EVSE? This would be ideal for many customers. There is no reason why they/we should have to deal with sunrun.
Caused by inflation .... when the price increase is also the cause of inflation. This isn't the place for that discussion, but how are we going to get out of this inflation spiral?
Once you are moving at more than about 10mph (parking lot speeds) the sound of tires is louder than engine sounds. There are plenty of well insulated ICE cars that make almost no noise at idle rpm with enough torque to move at parking lot speeds. Hybrids and EVs make a high pitch sound even at...
My first dealer could tell me where I was on their list. 45 of 250+. Next dealer said that I would be 39 of 200ish if I switched to them. Third dealer said that they wouldn't know until I switched. Once I switched my reservation I found out that I was in their top 10 of 63. I got a wave 4 invite...
I was going to go that route myself, but we are adding solar to our roof and our utility company has a program where their customers can purchase it lease two power walls (5500 or 55/month for 10 years) or two enphase iq10 batteries for (6500 or 65/ month x 10 years). We will purchase and use...
The tax credit eligible vehicles are not all of the hybrids. The car must be plug-in to count (BEV and PHEV). Take away from that list the power boost, maverick, escape hybrid (keep the PHEV), and explorer. If regular hybrids counted Toyota would have exhausted its credit long ago (how many...
I can hear the sounds in our Volvo when
I am in the car only when in our garage. We were out somewhere last week and heard a Nissan leaf backing up. WOW, that sounded like a toned down version the backup sound for a commercial truck. I looked over at my wife and said "nope, never going to own...
They have to charge the fee, but they could add an option of factory tour and vehicle pickup (-1500). You settle everything with your local dealer before the trip. Maybe you even have to stop by the dealer for final inspection. Like some European marquis do/did with overseas delivery programs...
Generac 6852 has a switched neutral. The reliance x series generator transfer switches also switch the neutral , though I have not seen them for sale. However this will not function as a whole home solution. The generac is for critical loads up to 8 circuits (I think).
Interlock would be great if it worked with Ford pro power. These trucks have a bonded neutral that is GFCI protected (not just on 120V, but on the 240V as well). In your panel neutral and ground are also bonded. Your truck will see a ground fault and stop the supply of power (or you will have to...
What happens if you have some kind of battery backup? Service is killed at the meter, but in the basement the system sees no power coming in so it immediately powers up and the house is once again electrified? There are automatical transfer switches that protect the grid from your home power...
4 seconds (truncated, not rounded). 4s is anything from 4.0 to 4.99 =It starts with a 4. If it was 3.8 or 3.9 you can bet that they would be very specific with their acceleration time.
People reporting that their pros are not being built until mid may...Pros going out first...Does that mean no deliveries until mid June/early July? I'm just stirring the pot, please don't actually take what I just wrote as fact.
I have no idea how overloaded my 91 civic was in 2002 on my way to college from VT to OH. The transmission made a funny not quite grinding, but gear meshing noise in 1 and 2 before that trip. The noise was in 1,2,3 and sometimes 4 after that drive. I couldn't pack any more stuff inside the car...
My old 2011 f150 fit with a bit of extra space...less than a foot when touching the framing at the back of the garage. With our newest car I used a 4x4 on the floor spaced appropriately from the back of the garage with 2x4s. Instead of the hanging tennis ball you just drive forward slowly and...
