Congratulations! Last October 3rd was my last work day - Welcome to the retired club. My commute was 52 miles round trip, but I'm driving more since I retired. However it's now driving for fun rather than getting to work. The other big change was February of 2025 I replaced my 10.8 mpg Dodge...

Almost 21K miles and my lifetime average is just over 2.3 miles / KWH. Driving around town it's usually higher, and high speed freeway trips are lower.

That does seem rather odd. Unlike the condenser, the evaporator is not is a location likely to get mechanical damage from something kicking up on the road. That also seems awfully expensive, but I'll bet a lot of that is labor just to get near the darn thing. Might be worth getting an estimate...

Strange, PlugShare.com was NOT showing any large stations along 59 at all when I made that statement. Yes, there is lots of stuff in Houston, but that was the starting point.

The biggest issue is essentially all of the stations along 59 are small (less than 4 chargers), so good possibility of being busy or broken.

Oops - my error. Did not notice that the second photo was from someone else. Guess that's what I get for scrolling / reading too fast...

So does California - but only two IONNA stations (almost 500 miles apart).

I would agree with your electrician that the breaker looks like it got wet. You can also see similar white indication on the black wires below the breaker in your 2nd photo. It's a little confusing what we're looking at from your description. You have two boxes each with a 100 amp breaker...

How about building some more out here in the west. Pretty far and few... There are almost as many in Florida as they are west of the Rockies (11 states combined).

That's less of a desert than a few places I've been to. Granted, most of those stations listed are small stations.

Maybe you should read my entire post because even what you quoted specifically addressed towing. Having the charge port in the front still does not help at MOST charge stations as nosing up to a charger would leave the trailer blocking the driveway / road that everyone else needs to use. It...

On my 1000+ mile trip a few weeks ago, I also noticed my miles / KWH was lower that normal, but it was entirely due to very high heat and high speed. For a good part of the trip, the speed limit was 75, so lots of driving at close to 80. Because it was so hot, if I got out of the truck for...

In my opinion - NO. I did not pay for it when mine expired a couple months ago.

Unless your trailer is a 5th wheel and you need the hitch attachment in the bed.

Update: I had only looked at my local area - which does not include IONNA as the nearest one is 100 miles away and the next closest is about 300 miles. However I did just look at the Vista, CA IONNA and ABRP does show 4 of 6 CCS-1 plugs and 4 of 4 NACS plugs available. The North Las Vegas...

That's interesting. I have never considered PlugShare to have real time charger availability. I just looked at every DCFC within a 5 mile or so radius of home (this is the Los Angeles metro area to that's quite a few), and NONE of them show actual availability - only the total number of...

Educate me please. IONNA does not have an app, so can I assume there no way to know real time availability of chargers at an IONNA station - until you get there?

Put the factory code and any you create into secure storage. I have mine in my Password Manager (which I can access from my phone). I have never used the door code other once than to verify it worked. That would be about the 5th or 6th level of backup to get into my truck. Note that I have a...

Really? Better explain that to Telsa since EVERY Tesla vehicle has the charge port on the left rear corner and every Tesla SuperCharger is laid out with that understanding (not as much of an issue with V4 since the cables are longer). About the only time that does not work well is when towing...

Hopefully I have quite a few years before I need to figure that out. So many things will have changed before I get there, so not giving it any thought. When I bought my Lightning in early 2025, the Lightning was the only truck that had any real consideration.
