Plugshare shows a DCFC going in just West of the I-475/I-75 intersection on the South side of Toledo, but does not indicate how many connections are going in. This would help greatly in the lack of chargers on I-75 from Detroit to Dayton.
I would agree this section is as bad or worse. The US-23 TO US24 to I-469 to I-69 route to is just as bad. I am surprised that no DC fast chargers have popped up yet in Fort Wayne also (I-69 or I-469 side). I travel once every 2-3 months from the Detroit area to my parents that are 40 miles...
On your Michigan to Florida trip (I am assuming a trip straight down I-75), where did you charge between Detroit and Cincinnati/Lexington area? That seems to be the section that has the largest hole with respect to DC fast chargers. I expect to make a couple trips a year from NorthWest Detroit...
Duke Energy did a similar thing with adding a box between your AC compressor and its external disconnect that could have the power shut down via wireless control. During times where electricity needed to be conserved, your AC unit inside would just have the fan running and circulating air while...
Considering we got around 1/2" of snow yesterday 15-20 miles North of Dearborn the same day of the tweet, it is still cold in Michigan. My Chevy Volt has shown around a 20-25% degradation in range for the last week or so at these temps, so my expectation is that it is an ER version of the truck.
You look at their nationwide map and there are HUGE gaps in the center of the US. implementation needs to improve in areas beyond the huge metropolitan centers if the politicians have any chance of meeting their pipe dream of 100% EV usage. Many of us that live in the MidWest will have a...
Built in navigation systems have very significant lag in their databases for information. Typically a data set has go through a production approval process that takes several months and is usually done with data that can be over a year old. My home that is only five years old does not show up...
I have a build week of 5/9 and the Sunrun link works for me. I plan to just have them ship me the Charge Station Pro as I will use a Chargepoint Flex instead that requires just a 50A services run.
You might be able to determine roughly based on the VIN numbers provided by those that have a build date. The VINs are definitely sequential by assigned build weeks, which is confusing, but the largest number I have seen for the last five digits has been under 6,000 so far.
I am not tied into the Cybertruck much, but it seems like it is plagued with a lot of delays in development. In 12-18 months you will have the Silverado and Sierra EVs that have improvements in charging time and range that will most likely be offset by some negatives relative to the Lightning...
Their app is pretty useful and I do like as you do how much is spent monthly in electricity to charge your EV. What I could not find definitive information on is how it handles in the app having two charging stations. It appears that you can give each station a different name, but it will not...
Per the installation guide, the hard wired input can go up to 80A, but the output of the charger maximum is 50A. If hardwired for 60A maximum, the max output is to be set at 48A that is a minimal reduction from the 50A if a greater input circuit rating was available. From what I have read in...
