  1. Utility Issues while charging

    The utility attempted to balance the transformer load on each leg by transferring loads right from the transformer feed. It makes sense in most cases that one fuse would blow before the other. Slow blow fuse. Even if both legs are over current once one blows the other is likely to drop as all...
  2. Utility Issues while charging

    I agree with this. I could turn my charge rate down but we paid extra for the 200A service. I get that just because I have a 200A service doesn't mean I get 200A and have been specifically told that it's sized for up to 75% of that (150A). I'm still drawing much less. We have smart meters...
  3. Utility Issues while charging

    Are you sure its 80A per leg. It hardly makes sense to require a two pole 100A breaker if it is only 40A. I've never measured it. One thing I forgot to mention is that only one leg of our power ever drops out so we still have 120V for half the things in the house. It was quite cold and I...
  4. Utility Issues while charging

    Sounds like a deal. I would bet the investigation for the fuse size on our transformer and the numerous times to come and replace fuses cost the utility thousands. A transformer to feed 400A is going to cost significantly more then $300 especially installed. Your utility might eat that cost...

    I asked AI if three houses had 80A chargers under these conditions how many houses would you feed from 100KVA transformer. It came up with the following answer. The 100 kVA transformer could typically feed between 1 and 4 houses (including the three houses with EV chargers), depending heavily...
  6. Utility Issues while charging

    220A was for all 10 houses, eventually when that blew again after starting charger it forced them back and then it was 320A while my charger was going. My house load was approximately 90A per phase with charger going.

    I've read the disappointing new that Ford will be discontinuing the Lightening. I bought the Lightening for myself but my wife has put probably 98% of the mileage on it because it just made more sense for her to drive it because she drives further and liked it. We both really like it. I read...
  8. Behind The Scenes: Ford Fast Charging Adapter

    I ordered July 2024 in Canada and it also says April Delivery so I am even less confident. Perhaps Ford applies a 100% Tariff on Time to Produce and Deliver to us?
  9. Complimentary / Free Tesla Adapter -- When Did You Buy Your Truck and Place Your Order?
