Good catch on the higher temp wire.

This should not be that confusing. A 50 A circuit using a 50 A breaker with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle (industrial grade) is required to use 6 AWG wire per the NEC code. All components need to be rated for 50A. A continuous load such as an EV must be derated to 80% per NEC. An EVSE on such a...

I just finished a 3400 mi camping trip to Yellowstone over the passed three weeks and ran a BougeRV fridge from the outlets in the frunk. This ran 24/7. It messes up the gom and the mi/kwh but I watch the SOC anyway. Apart from the scarcity of chargers near Yellowstone and Jackson WY the truck...

I’m currently doing the northern part of your loop from Seattle to Yellowstone and back. Slight detour up along the Columbia River near Colville WA where a new Flo charging station just came on line a few weeks ago. BougeRV mini fridge, electric tea kettle and induction cooktop. Pro power for...

I'm currently running my house on my '23 Lariat ER. Power went out about 2 hours ago. No word yet when it will return. Last Nov. a big storm knocked power out for 5 days and the truck powered the house the whole time. After a day of driving today, I'm at 50% SOC. My wife is making dinner on the...

About 9 months ago I got a knock on the door from an Amazon van driver who had backed his rig down a hill into a neighbors ditch. While hooking my Lightning up to the van, a neighbor drove by and strongly recommended I put my truck four wheel drive low. I smiled, thanked him for the advice and...

Congrats on your new purchase. Just passed one year of ownership. The key to cost comparison with an ICE version is home charging and use cases. You can expect home charging to cost 1/4 to 1/3 the price of gas with a comparable trim. This is highly dependent on electricity costs and fuel costs...

Recommend using a mobile charger you can carry with you that operates on both 120 and 240 VAC until you get your service installed. This will be sufficient to heat the cabin over night and set it to defrost in the morning.

Received the Tesla adapter yesterday. #36xxx Very happy to have it. The option to use most Tesla V3/4 supercharges adds additional value to the Lightning. Transition to the NACS standard, although slow, will assist in growth of EV's generally, which is imho, a good thing.
