A2Z EV sent me a Typhoon Pro to replace the Typhoon I had originally received with a misaligned pin. This new one does not have the contact misalignment.
I was able to test out the Typhoon Pro this weekend and, while I saw throttling to about 100-110kW in direct sun in 100F heat, I was able to...
I've noticed this. I charge to 80% on 120V Level 1 EVSE. I turn on the truck and next thing I know it's already at 78%. Drive down the street less than a mile and it's at around 76%. I need to test it at other target SOC%. Will limit my max SOC to 75% and see if it happens then. Don't think...
Get an Ecoflow Delta Pro 3 that by itself has 4 kWh of battery storage. You can add an additional 2 batteries for a total of 12 kWh. Will probably cost you around $7K-8K. It can provide up to 4kW of power, so would work with a 16A EVSE. If you need more power (and battery capacity), you can...
The "Energy Added" number keeps increasing at the rate it would normally charge at, even though 80% target was reached yesterday. I have not unplugged from 120V. Checked my energy monitor and there's only about 5W being used on the circuit the truck is plugged into. I also have another car on a...
Amine, the CEO of @A2ZEV, called me on June 9th and said his engineers would look into this and he would call me back on Wednesday June 12th. I inquired about the internal construction and asked what would prevent misalignment during assembly and he provided a drawing of the contacts from one...
Got my @A2ZEV NACS adapter today. Have not tried charging with it, but took a close look at it and noticed that the DC- contact appears to angle slightly down and out (away from the DC+ contact). Seems as if the metal contact may have been soldered at an angle (not sure if the contacts are...
What is the gauge of the wires going to the AC portion of the CCS connector? The input to the FCSP is 3 AWG, but the gauge of the wires going out to the truck appear to be smaller in pictures ive seen. Is that correct?
It occurred to me that once Tesla opens up their Supercharger network to others, someone may unknowingly attempt to use a Level 2 Tesla adapter. If communication occurs on the lower J1772 pins, the car will talk to the charger, and it may possibly apply DC to the AC pins. I hope the chargers are...
Considering there's a manual frunk release to the left of the driver's footwell, I'm not sure what good electronically locking the frunk would do. Double-fail by Ford?
Anyone else ever notice infrared lights flashing in the interior? I moved my Lighting to a spot covered by an infrared security camera and noticed a bunch of flashing in the interior in the security footage. It was triggering alerts in my home security system. Seems to be related to the modem...
A better, and cheaper, alternative from a known connector company: ITT CANNON J2CE8021-15S0A
There are also 20' and 25' variants. (J2CE8021-20S0A and J2CE8021-25S0A)
Not sure if I just never noticed it before, but after getting my truck back after the 23B57 CSP software update I have seen a message in the middle part of the dash that says "Normal Cruise Active -Adaptive Braking Off". I have not used cruise control and both times I noticed it while driving in...
