So my 16 responses with 21 answers reply was wrong, there are more than 16 responses. But the part that is right is that nearly all are worthless opinions. For fun, page through the thread and right down what people said: 85% 80% some days of the week, 100% others 90% and 100% 80% 90% 85%...

I think that's meaningless. Some vehicles, like the Lightning, have battery capacity unavailable. So charging to 90% is really 82%. Once you start aggregating across vehicle brands it's crap data. It's also crap data swayed by the largest EV company, the crap company.

Neither of those is EV-specific, it's the same if you have a $60,000 ice vehicle, right? Many states have EV-specific additional fees. Everyone complains about the roads. Facts are that Indiana is among the better roads in the country... Some ranks show it #1, i.e. best...

Frontal area is the biggest determinant.

You can't rely on a salesperson teaching you about all aspects of owing a vehicle. The % of people that buy a $50,000+ vehicle and never read the manual (gas or electric), yet read the manual for the $200 coffee maker they bought is huge. Some people shouldn't own EVs, some shouldn't own cars.

Many threads on this. There will be 16 responses with 21 answers, most of them worthless opinions... The only reason to charge above 90% is if you need the range. There is zero need to charge less, since it is 82% of the actual battery. You will see "I only charge every 5 days" answers...

The BMS (Battery Management System) is designed to keep the 12v from dying. The Mach-E BMS has been modified several times, and now doesn't let the 12v get below something like 60%. I believe the Lightning BMS is similar, at a certain point, the HVB will charge the 12v, even when the vehicle...

L2 at airports is for convenience, for PR for airport and city, to show sustainability (often solar or wind is involved), revenue, etc. Google an airport and EV charging and you will see various takes.

If you live where it snows, think about ice and snow on the cover when it opens. Had a tri-fold for a decade on my 2013 F-150. Not watertight by any means. I put a Diamondback HD on. Only slight intrusion in severe rain on back edge. Of course, not easy to remove.

axle.. To be clear, that is not your range, that is a prediction. When you setup the trailer, plug in, then ensure it sees the connected trailer (if not, select it in settings), it will start accumulating history for that trailer. As you drive, the range prediction will fluctuate as it...

Coming up in 2026, letter from wife's lawyer.... :rolleyes: ;)

Exactly why I complained about the video posted the other day with a clickbait title.

Clearly you buy inferior underwear. 😄 I suggest you try a pair of Oops, I Crapped My Pants.

It was not directed at any one person, more of a "well, what are you doing to change it"? People complain about potholes (huge issue in Michigan). Every time I hear it, I say "what are you doing about it"? They stare at me. Then, I tell them of the phone numbers, website, and app that let...

False. Initially true, but when they modified the rule to get the credit at the dealership if you wanted and dealer allowed, this qualification went away. Ford took it. Impacted residual.

Yes.

For those complaining about lack of charging, I'll bet not one has read a state's NEVI report, or contacted a charging company to request a specific location be considered, or contacted the location asking them to consider adding charging, or done anything else to improve the infrastructure but...

2 choices. 1) Charge at Fort Frances. 2) Slow down on that leg.

Neither charging spot I noted was in Ontario, or level 2... You think 2 charging stops is drama? Ok.
