Tom actually mentions quite a bit about the Charge Station Pro specs throughout his video. The new charger (similar to the 48A charger) can be set to be used with as low as a 20A 240V breaker (instead of the default 100A). It is probably safe to assume it is a hardware limit setting, however...

RE: SAE J1772 & CCS I tend to think perhaps Ford may still be figuring out their connector standards/definitions somewhat. Why do I think this? In the leaked 146-page eSourcebook (information for dealers) it indicates incorrectly in multiple places on pages 15 and 17 that the SAE J1772 (USA)...

Hi Tom! As usual, great video! I dropped some additional questions about Sunrun and their Home Integration System in the comments. Hopefully we can eventually get some more details on the integration kit and whether or not it will be compatible with any existing home solar installations. We...

I don't remember where I saw it last, but read that the Max Tow package includes additional cooling/components for the motors/batteries which obviously generate more heat for heavy towing.

The 320 amp requirement (for what it is) only appears to apply to the Intelligent Backup Power with Home Integration configuration. So that said, if you're only ever planning on charging (and no home backup), as long as you have sufficient available (pending home load analysis) capacity and...

[EDIT: As of 1/26/2022 the Ford website no longer indicates the requirement for 320-amp service, but recommends you consult an electrician for home requirements instead! This is much more reasonable.] Based on recent updates to the Intelligent Backup page...

We can add Germain Ford in Columbus, Ohio as a dealer with No ADM! Standard (non X-plan) $250 Ohio doc fee, but that probably goes without saying.

There are Android QR code readers in the Google Play store that you can use to read newer QR's, bar codes, etc. that the camera app itself doesn't scan. There are many such apps to choose from. The Alternate Reality presentation is not an app of its own, it uses the device's browser and native...

For us, that's not unreasonable considering we do pay $0.125/kWh at home. It may feel worse for others. Depending on the charging location, it is a service after all. While free is great (and free stations are fewer and further between), we should expect to pay something for power. They...

Yep, you hit it with the Lucid Air. 900V+ at 300kW (per the manual and website), touting up to 20 miles per minute. The Lucid Air Is the Fastest Charging EV Ever | Lucid Motors Averaged 155kW gaining 80kWH in 31:02, at 14% to 77% SoC for 128 miles of range. Lucid Air User Shows DC Fast...

Still have two electric cars here. I will say it can be handy to have an L2 EVSE at a store or restaurant if you've already been out driving for the day and are running low on range to get back home. Plus as an advantage to the location, if you shop longer, you are likely to purchase more...

Not the final vote nor signature, but with the House having passed the Infrastructure Bill, we are seeing definite forward progress toward getting something done! After they have a "break" and get a report back from the Congressional Budget Office next week with a cost analysis, we'll see where...

Maybe they haven't gotten to tweaking that part yet? This snippet of the legislation remains the same: (Page 1493) (k) ASSEMBLY AND CONTENT QUALIFICATIONS.— For purposes of this section— (1) DOMESTIC ASSEMBLY QUALIFICATIONS.— The term ‘domestic assembly qualifications’ means, with...

Setting politics aside, the legislators have yet again changed the parameters for the proposed Federal EV Tax Credits today!! I see a lot more Lariat models being ordered if this version goes through as written! :D (y) Here's the biggest change I noticed: (2) APPLICABLE LIMITATION. — For...

Unfortunately, there was not much to see that most folks didn't already know (at least in the last one, I didn't get to see the first installment). For what it's worth, they dropped 3 more Livestream dates and times today: November 30, 2021, 10:00 PM, EST December 6, 2021, 8:00 PM, EST...

Yeah - there were more than a few inconsistencies with what this guy had to say compared to some of the other videos of info sessions I've seen. Not sure how much stock I put into what's in this one, as several things didn't quite line up with others. Or, maybe he's right, and everybody else...

Just my $.02, but if I had to venture a guess, I would tend to believe these 3 rumors out of the list. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't see it that way, but I didn't read all 1684 pages. Why would they push the point-of-sale credit out a full year and expect people to have that much liability? Seems counterintuitive, but this is the government we're talking about here. LOL. It's all suspect until the actual passage...

No emails, no communications, nothing from Ford on these -- basically nothing at all new official from Ford yet. I just happened across the October livestream posting when I had checked the link after someone mentioned there was one last month that nearly everyone (including myself) missed. On...
