@bobrosco what are you planning for your charging setup?

I just bought a Lectron 48A adapter to use with my existing wall chargers.

I'm going to try to build a boom as well, just picked up some tool balancers. Hopefully DIY a setup that does this:
Wait....You have to charge this thing?

This is my first EV, so I'm planning to use the FCSP at 80amps (We have 320A service, 2 x 200A panels). I have looked at the balancers some, but I'm going to live with the truck in my garage for a little while first to see where it makes the most sense to install. I, fortunately, already have a 50A 14-50R in the middle of the garage to use, but plan to run a separate dedicated 100A for the charger and use the 50A to backfeed (with a transfer switch or interlock) when power goes out.

Nope, I have a 1000 gallon underground diesel tank. I'm going to build it for my fuel hose....

I traced my CN Tracking number again today. It told me it left Blue Island for Minneapolis at 4 am this morning. Hopefully my truck was on this train.
How upset would you be if you were tracking a railcar that no longer had your truck in it?
