  1. Tailgate opening while parked

    Mine opens if I fiddle with the connector for the tailgate. They replaced my light at, but it took them a while because the tailgate wouldn't open... until it finally did. I will have check with them again if the problems persist. I wouldn't care if it no longer would power open/close, but...
  2. General Grabber tires

    All wear on those tires is General wear.
  3. This You? Ford F-150 Lightning Crashes Into 7 Cars At Michigan Car Wash

    Just drive with the horn on all the time... Then they'd notice you.
  4. DCFC station cost

    Some utilities have special rate plans for EV charging. Low utilization coupled with a high demand charge can make the financials if dcfc untenable as a business model, particularly if you want to pass those costs on to the consumer.
  5. Extra wheels for snow tires - means extra Tire Pressure sensors?

    I just went without sensors. After about 20 minutes of driving the tpms warning light comes on. I have done this with winter wheels over the years and there are no driveability issues.
  6. The truck won't charge... again.

    I don't hate specific charge locations/profiles, but there should be a user adjustable global charging profile.
  7. Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    I ordered both. Lectron first, then a week or two later A2Z. A2Z arrived and I cancelled the other. I have two CCS vehicles so don't mind having an extra adapter (Ford and A2Z). Our 3 row phev will be replaced with an EV in the next year, so I considered having a third, but the new car may very...
  8. This Is How Easy It Is to Hack EV Chargers | WSJ

    Is there a way to hack the evse to force the car to accept more power than it is asking for? Can a dcfc tell the car, too bad, you only want 50kW, but I'm giving you 250kW? I am unaware of those possibilities. It would suck to have your car charging and then have something happen (malicious or...
  9. POLL: Does your spouse refuse to drive an EV?

    With the snow dog it is really the exhaust smell. Small Briggs and Stratton motor exhausting 4 feet in front of you will do that. I also notice it if my parents need help after a big snow storm. They have a big snow blower and after 30 minutes walking behind that you smell like engine exhaust...
  10. POLL: Does your spouse refuse to drive an EV?

    Once we replace our phev I will still need bar oil for the chainsaw. Also there is no affordable battery powered snow grooming equipment for the local mtb trail network. After driving the snowdog for an hour or two I will come home put my jacket and snow pants in the lanyard take a shower...
  11. POLL: Does your spouse refuse to drive an EV?

    As the previous commenters have shared, wife is totally on board with EV. She won't drive a non-EV if she can help it. Your poll is missing husband/wife refuses to drive ICE. As far as technology goes, she won't drive with cruise control, but take the little map screen out from the driver's...
  12. Limited Access to new superchargers? Bennington VT Example

    It looks like Brattleboro is a combination of v2 and v3 superchargers. Also checked and White River jct/West Lebanon is also combo v2/v3. Are they opening combination sites to CCS/NACS adapter users? Opening to other makes would not have helped yesterday. The waits were super long (according to...
  13. Any benefit to occasional 100% charge?

    I usually charge to 60 percent. Usually I get in and it says 60. Sometimes it drops immediately to 59. Sometimes it jumps to 61 or 62.
  14. Help me understand my BMS

    Adding 45 percent screenshot 52.88/0.4498 = 117... Why the different values for kWh capacity? I've only had the truck down to the upper 30s and will not discharge further just to see what happens. I have only charged to 100 percent a couple times. Could it simply be that the information that...
  15. Help me understand my BMS

    Why is it that when charged to 100 percent (indicated) the math works out to 131kWh for the whole pack, but at lower charge levels the math works out to a lower pack capacity? 125.45/0.9586= 131 89.37/0.7409 = 121 Do I have a problem? Is the bms wrong/inaccurate? I'll check again, I am...
  16. What (to you) is an EV-Ready Corridor?

    So 4 plugs at 150kW per 50 miles.... Definitely a start, but also not enough. 8 cars per hour per station if charging for 30 minutes. Yikes. Maybe they are counting on market forces driving the building of more charge stations as EV usage increases.
  17. What (to you) is an EV-Ready Corridor?

    If that is the case, then that will definitely be better.
  18. What (to you) is an EV-Ready Corridor?

    4 working chargers every 50 miles that add 150ish miles to a car in 30 minutes. So the infrastructure would accommodate 24 cars per hour and the drivers would need to charge for 30 minutes out of each 2.5ish your block of time. This would mean that no more than 60 ideally spaced EVs could travel...
  19. Tesla FSD (Full Self Driving) tested. BlueCruise is good enough

    I am used to Volvo pilot assist. It is not hands free, but their adaptive cruise and lane keeping assistance system. I have no problem keeping a hand on the wheel and giving it a little bit of torque to let it know I'm paying attention. I just wanted to know how much functionality would be...
