Exactly. I would start a smear campaign with the local media and see how quick this 🫏 has a change of heart. People forget in the digital era how easy it is to ruin your business.
The dealers beef is with @Ford Motor Company if they are not willing to pay the dealer for the work already...
Same for me too. Noticed last week it occasionally was detecting front ghosts, but thought it was a dirty sensor/camera. Guess it was a little more than that.
Sounds like you need to start your own charging company so you can set the limits you want.
I work in regulation, you have to set these “arbitrary numbers” to a data point that is around the tipping point. Unfortunately it sounds like when this becomes industry standard you will be disappointed...
There is good reason, and your own arguments made it at times. All car have a different curve. So you only have two options a kW or a % option to cut off if there were level 2 evses onsite. While I have advocated for a 20 kW bench, percentage may be the most universal for the end user.

This could be fixed if they charge an additional “per minute” fee to normalize the amount of money they could be getting, plus deters those that just wanna.
As I said before, all of the stations need some 48 amp evse so people can move over to once they hit the 90-95% crawl. That allows for...
The problem is people are impatient and can’t just wait. As I have said before when we had this same discussion last year with other people, are you the third or forth person that asked the bolt person or are “trying to educate them” and that causes them to snap and you find yourself in a bad...
Agree 1,000,000%.
Way to many people feel their need supersedes the person that was there first.
just sit back relax and chill. You will make it to your destination, when you are supposed to.
life to way to short to get stressed about having to wait to charge.
If it matters that much move to...
I like this idea. And really maybe only show the sign when the stations are say 75% full or 100% full, cause if it is empty it doesn’t matter.
I appreciate this over the “hardline” approach as there are practically reasons some need to make it to 90-100%.
This seems impressive, but at what size?
Hyundai claims the Ionqi 5 can do 18 minutes to get to 80% but in the real world they are not quite seeing the needed supply to achieve that.
Their LR battery is 77 kWh so about 60% of the Lightning ER. While not linear, that would mean about 30 minutes...
It always sounds good to claim great range but 240 miles of highway speed is three hours of driving, safety statistics show that to stay alert behind the wheel you should stop for 15 minutes every two hours.
So it does not seem unreasonable to extend that concept to 2-3 hours for a break and...
We are really decades away from technology being there for true replacement in 99% of the use cases.
The sad reality is we need to stop thinking complete replacement at the moment. There is a very good reason Oregons 2035 car plan is EV and PHEV centric. The Ram Charger if it comes to light...
