Set your charging amps downs and then increase while taking temps from the adapter. I smoked a 50 amp pedastal at a campground in Illinois. Upon inspection the 50a circuit was being shared with the adjacent spot with no OCP upstream. We both had a 50a breaker. So between the AC use of the...
I don't like start/stop buttons in an EV. They serve no purpose IMHO. Now that we have an R1S I keep forgetting to turn off our Ioniq 5. Luckily it makes a noise if I exit the vehicle and forgot to turn it off.
We have two 48 amp chargers. One has wiring to give the full 48a and the other wiring only allows 24a. Our lightning powers our house daily so it gets the 48a charger. R1S is a commuter of about 25 miles daily so gets the 24a. R1S is our road tripper so will get the 48a charger the night...
Heading up through Lander, Meeteetse and through the Wind River canyon is an incredible drive but a charging dessert. I won't take that route in an EV until Cody, WY gets a SC which at this point looks less likely than Buffalo. Wyoming is probably the most anti-EV state and has some of the...
What is your final destination? Another option (but it adds miles) is to go to the SC in Miles City, MT from the SC in Evansville, WY. Then to Billings from Miles City. We had to do that a couple of winters ago in our Lightning Lariat ER.
I wouldn't rely on the EA chargers in WY. Been...
That's an option. Or you could charge to 100% in Evansville/Casper and probably make it to Billings no problem (assuming you have a max pack). That SC is desperately needed in Buffalo or they could upgrade the SC in Sheridan.
That Buffalo SC has been coming soon forever. I spoke with the owner of Miller's Sinclair in Buffalo and he didn't have any info on when/if construction will start. Tesla needs to kick muskrat to the curb and get going on expanding and upgrading the SC network. That charge point at the Jeep...
Rivian would see a huge benefit if they put "proudly made in the USA" or something similar on the rear.
My neighbor recently asked me who makes our Rivian. I said Rivian and she looked very confused.
