This might explain why it’s taking so long to get software improvements. Apparently Ford’s software team has been focussed on developing an award winning infotainment system for the 100’s of Lincolns they sell instead of for the millions of Fords...

Ionna is a new joint venture between 8 car makers including GM, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, Stellantis, Honda, Toyota, and BMW. When they announced the startup in February they said they planned to roll out 30,000 chargers by 2030. At the time is sounded like a stretch but after attending the soft...

I don’t know if this has been discussed (didn’t find it in a search) but this weekend I noticed that ABRP now shows directions on the IPC just like Apple and Ford nav. In the video you can see the next turn between the temperature gauges and then it takes over the center display when you are...

Someone on the MachE Facebook page posted some photos of the inside of the mobile charger. Their charger failed so they cut it open to see if they could identify the problem. Apparently the unit is sealed and cannot be opened without destroying the case.

I saw this on Twitter this morning. It looks like Tesla has opened to GM vehicles.

Lectron is recalling their NACS charging adapter due to a defect that allows the NACS connector to be unplugged without stopping the charger. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=24E033 You can see the video that led to the recall here.

Someone on Facebook reported that their charge port lights were not coming on. I remembered that there was a setting to turn them off that is referenced in the manual but he couldn’t find it on his Pro and I can’t find it on my Lariat. Did this setting get removed in a SW update or are we...

I ran across the following post on Facebook from mayor David Mitchell of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The town of Bridgewater has been using a Tesla for the last year and a Lightning for six months. It’s an extremely well written summary of their experience so far and it has been very positive. So...

I’m using the new Apple Maps integration for the first time this week and I can’t find a way to filter charge stations. I want to just see DC fast chargers but it shows all level 2 chargers too. When I look at the settings it has both J1772 and CCS listed and you can’t change it. I’m trying to...

If you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution make sure you learn the difference between a kilowatt (kW) and a kilowatt-hour (kWh). ?

There are several forum members who are part of the Duke EV Complete Home Charging Plan so I wanted to start a thread where we can share experiences. As part of the plan we are able to charge up to 800 kWh per month for a fixed charge of either $19.99 or $24.99 depending on your location. If you...

There are plenty of horror stories on here about dealers so I thought I should post about a positive experience. I contacted my SA at Capital back at the end of September to get the lightbar, dash mat, BECM, and heated steering wheel updates done. They got the parts on order and contacted Ford...

Apparently that’s what 10 microns looks like.

I attended the Drive Electric Week event held at NC State on September 27. It was my second event there and between the two I’ve gotten to check out a pretty wide variety of EVs including a Rivian. I can definitely say that I picked the right EV for me. After experiencing the Lightning Frunk I’m...

This weekend tropical storm Ophelia came through North Carolina. On Friday night I went ahead and plugged the truck into my transfer switch in case we lost power. We never did lose power but it did flicker a couple of times just before bedtime so I went ahead and switched over instead of having...

I took my truck in last week to get the carpet replaced. There was a defect in the weave and a hole was starting to form. It took about a day and a half but they did a great job and it looks as good as new. I filled out the survey this morning and gave them high marks but did complain because...

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has awarded the second round of funding from the VW settlement for new DC chargers. The locations have started showing up as "Coming Soon" on Plugshare. I downloaded the list and created this map showing all of the new sites. These sites...
