The fact that it is 3 prong vs. 4 prong is a non-issue, make sure you get a plug that is the correct amperage and set the charger to match that amperage. I have opened up many EVSE chargers (to hardwire them) and none of them (the ones I have opened up) use the neutral wire (4th prong), the use...
I agree with having to have lower entry prices. Bring back the Explore edition (T & S) and the 5 seat variant of the R1S. Get rid of the glass roof, camp speaker and perhaps even the air suspension for the lowest trim levels. The glass roof alone is expensive and since they already stamp the...

While I don't like the high prices as much as the next person, building out that infrastructure costs a fortune. I am not sure about the per unit cost (fully loaded) per charge port for EVGo, but I have heard numbers of $200-250k for each EA charge port. Even if they charge us $0.60 per kW/h...

Let us know when you get it. While it is not listed in their store, the do list a concentrate for almost $50 for a QUART. Yikes.
