Just an update to say I did get this NEMA 14-50 outdoor box installed successfully. Thanks to FlyCt for posting g the link to the YouTube video, as I did buy the separate EV rated receptacle and use it in the cheap-o Home Depot box. Iām glad I did, as the local electrician was unaware of any...
After seeing previous posts, I spent the last month trying to decide if I really wanted to spend $280 on the Carlinkit Magic Box, just so I can occasionally watch TV in my truck. Last week I discovered this much cheaper Magicbox...
I second this! I drive from southern Maine to Epping regularly for my boysā soccer, and while theyāre practicing Iāve got to drive back to Exeter for DCFC. Seems odd that Epping has none, given all the retail locations of Exit 7.
Iām a big fan of the Steelie system from Niteize. It doesnāt work in that awkward space in front of the shift, but I use the removable clamp that clips to the vents. And when we go on vacation I can take it with me for use in a rental car. My wife uses the same system so I can pop my phone in...

I am looking ahead to the warmer months when my family and I spend time at our camp (thatās a lake house for anyone not from Maine). My plan was to have a local electrician install an outdoor...
There are now DC Fast chargers right off exit 157 at the Irving in Newport, the typical exit for Sebec Lake. Iāll be installing an outdoor 14-50 outlet at my camp on Sebec for my Lightning. Youāre welcome to stop by and use it, but I charge 2 beers for every hour of use. And you have to let...
I live in the greater Portland area and Iāve had my Lightning for a month. Itās my first EV, so Iāve been learning a lot. I have been at the mercy of public chargers as I wait for my Charge Station Pro to be installed by Qmerit. With that said, I have found it pretty easy to find public...
I bought my Lightning a month ago, and itās my first EV, so Iām fairly new to the game. So far I have found PlugShare to be the most comprehensive charger locater app. They show chargers from every company and you can apply filters to narrow your search (DC Fast, CCS1, Food nearby, etc)...
