The utility only cares about the aggregate inverter size connected in parallel to their grid. They don't care how they connect. The TOU rate topic is interesting, and I have little to no confidence in NGRIDs/Eversources ability to figure it out.

The DPU recently expanded the Cap Exempt Net Metering threshold to 25 kWac (up from 10). I believe the Delta invreter that's part of the HIS is 9 kWac, so unless you have a large existing PV system, there shouldn't be any conflict. https://www.mass.gov/news/dpu-expands-net-metering-program

That Emporia is a very high quality unit. Kinda surprised it's so inexpensive. SunRun royally screwed up when I bought my truck and sent me two CSPs. Sold one on eBay and bought an Emporia. Installed a CSP at my house and the Emporia at a family members house. Worked out great.

If I bought a new one today, I'd sell the free unit and get a Gen1 Tesla that's capable of 80A and get adapters. If the industry keeps trending away from CCS and toward NACS, then your future proof. That math changes if you want to hedge against whole home backup systems.

I'm intrigued by this thing. Has anyone installed it who also has a Fitcam dashcam? Are the two symbiotic w/r/t to the power supply?

FWIW, I received the invitation email from the program this afternoon. I'm hoping they can do the site inspection this week. The invite call me "cohort two" so seemingly they've divided the program into at least two tranches.

Only Lightnings, Leafs, and Kias at the moment.

IMO the '22 ER is the best configuration possible. Bonus points if it's equipped with Max Tow. Double plus bonus if it's Atlas Blue. WHY DID THEY CANCEL THAT COLOR!?

My infotainment screen has been rebooting the last two days when I shut the truck off at the end of the day. I also got a random Adaptive Cruise Control Unavailable error today for about a split second when driving around. Maybe that's the update downloading to the vehicle? A guy can dream!?

What paint color? Maybe that matters, 'cause there sure doesn't seem to be anything else that correlates.

Awesome! Only a couple of more dozen months!

I appreciate seeing questions like this on occasion. While the answer may seem intuitive and perhaps obvious after-the-fact, the question still often remains. Run it. It won't hurt anything. I've had my truck in ghetto Dog Mode for 6+ hours and it only used ~2-3% of the battery range. Also...

FWIW, I just went through this replacement this afternoon. The BLIS sensor is a bit tricky. three screws remove the housing, but the wiring isn't long enough to fully disengage from the lamp housing, so you need at least two, maybe three, steady hands. One holds the housing, other removes the...

I wonder if it's possible to retrofit a higher powered wireless fast charger into the existing location. As is, that stupid thing basically functions as a wireless phone heater instead of a charger.

I was cautiously optimistic that it would be a week between my window update and the BC 1.4 update. That came and went today with no BC.

That's got to be from Car Talk

I still kinda regret not buying one. The dealer I went to had a Rapid Red and Atlas Blue in NEARLY the exact configuration. Turns out the RR truck was exactly what I was going to order anyway, and they had a $40k "Market Adjustment" markup on the AB. AB was still on their lot two years later...

Sorry bub, but you're late to the game. This service already exists. And I would short the s**t out of a new business that tried to start in this market. EV owners don't spontaneously "run out of charge". We plan and overcome. Aside from when you were a stupid teenager, how many times did...

1. How in the heck did you get the utility to give you a service drop for just an EVSE? 2. I'd bet your scenario would make you MORE likely to be selected. The program is trying to determine how big of an impact dispatching EV batteries can have on helping the grid during peaks. Having no...

FYI to all MA residents, the Clean Energy Center just opened up the application portal for their new Vehicle-to-everything demo program. Best guess is if you're chosen, they put in a new EVSE capable of backfeed, and you get some incentives kicked back for helping squash grid peaks. Only...
