Yes, the EV drivers are sort of having to learn as they go. No father or mother or big sibling did this in front of us where we learned. Yamaha method. EvGo was first in my area and then EA did pretty good. Some of the ChargePoints are showing up new out of box. If you had a Tesla then the...

I said to put a roof over them. If you can't read 50 or 150 or 350 then why are you on the road at all? They have busses for those folks. Get in the front row and see the road too.

I'll take the actual IRS rule before I take an Act wording. That is why I have to wait till filing time to get all the tax software updates. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8911.pdf then edit what you suspect.

I read the manual for my evse and it said something like power company could disable it or some such but not heard of any real life instances where it happened. Yes, I too would prefer lower bill and to that end accept some less than perfect supply. I mean really, turning off the electric...

"Recent Developments None at this time. " Instructions for Form 8911 (Rev. January 2022)

The CA problem started with not in my backyard along with down with nukes. Reports of the US grid show many areas are at risk still.

The last map of grid worry was about half US is in a position where things can go bad. Texas followed California and shut down too many working plants and tried to replace them with plants that simply weren't time tested. Texas did expect too much from NG too soon under the most demanding...

Part of the Texas VW deal was that if a station had two cables then each had to provide at least 150kWh even if the other was in use.

Such a great bill that no one knows who gets what yet. Someone on this site mentioned that the wording was buried under some other reference for next year for 30%. I thought the prior one ended in Dec 2021.

I just read an article about Texas and how much they expected to require. The report was a number of stakeholders that included car makers and electric as well as community. They seemed to suggest that if everyone charged their EV on the same day then they would take 1/10 of the available...

Guess they were hoping that first owners sold their Tesla's and kept the EVSE?

Do other F150L owners observe this? Both my i3 and Bolt were strict in how they stopped charging when I set TOU in cars. If you have same rates at wide times isn't there a way to charge immediately instead of departure?

I'd think that the cigarette lighter would be cleaner and above 12VDC usually. The 120VAC outlet may not be true sine and could cause an issue.

I am on very simple electric contracts. The original post here was a good question I thought. My mother mentioned her choices. Thought she was nuts until I actually tried to figure out what plan was best for her. Like the old cell phone plans. Confuse you with too many variables.

The tesla destination adapters are not that expensive and may be worth it if one ever has to charge on that type.

What would people do that left?? Go someplace else? You betcha. The $100 isn't the issue. It's the product sale.

I've been trying to find out what chips run the communication for the OCPP. Can't be that hard to find....

The Grizzl-e simple easy choice. Might look at the used Tesla models if you already have an adapter. A Gen 3 is going pretty cheaply. Sellers say new with scratches. One has mentioned an over temp issue. I was tempted to buy one just to see if firmware update would fix it.

Wonder if the price hike had anything to do with them wanting to keep the deposits in their bank??? Hello email said. This is Ford. We've been ignoring you for months. Don't worry, we still got your money.

The 12v battery ought to charge up or jump an ice. Is it safe? I'd assume so but not be thrilled to test. Guess you could start off with a resistive load test on battery to see what happens.
