I like the Free-Wire Technologies concept. I could see one of these chargers at every convenance store and gas station. It is a battery supported charger that charges its internal battery at low amperage. It will take about +/-24 hours to be fully charge, but it is an "Ultra fast charger"...
I have a request. Anyone who lived in Canada DM me with your talking points concerning early BEV adoption, and what the barriers are for BEV ownership. I am also curious what sort of tax credits other provinces have received for new BEV's, PHEV's and Hybrids.
Alberta is approaching another election. I have already asked the opposing candidate for MLA why Alberta has no tax credits for EV’s and I now plan on contacting both incumbent and opposition about this issue. I live in a mountain community where people are environmentally conscious. We have...
I think the charging based on time is due to not having local regulations that embrace BEV’s. The FLO near me is in a paid parking lot. I don’t know all the details charging by time should be illegal until all EV charge at max rate. My issue with charge rate may have been a preconditioning...
I bailed on Ford BEV's last month. I received my Platinum in January, 2023. I was very unhappy with Ford for deleting the lay flat seats because I picked the Platinum trim over Lariat for those seats! Then to add insult to injury, Ford didn't provide anywhere near the value for the deleted...
So, this is an example of why I decided to not purchase the Lightning. The cost was $132,000 CAD, and I was given no assurances that the PetroCanada fast charger nearby would ever provide more than 32kW. If the battery had to be pre-conditioned, you'd think Ford would provide some sort of...
I had an early reservation for a MY2022 but my dealership ordered it late and it converted to a MY2023. So I the price went up and one key option was deleted. I decided to not purchase the Platinum Lightning. If I knew I would not get the lay flat seats, I would have ordered a 2022 Lariat...
There is an alert that pops up every time I use one pedal drive to give me a pat on the back for timing my stop perfectly. But I still use 40 kWh every 100 km. meh.
Here in Alberta Canada, the fast chargers are by the minute, not by the kWh. And, the charger at the Canmore exit on TCH would not charge faster than 32 kw. I have a Lightning waiting for me at the dealership, but I think I am going to pass on buying it. I have seen YouTube videos of people...
