I don’t think Tesla will be going after any NEVI money at this point unless the idiots up top switch the law to allow NACS connectors. Not enough money in NEVI to make it worthwhile when the supercharger Network has a potential value of 100 billion. More money to be made off customers of Ford...

I really question Teslas desire for NEVI funding at this point. People always say NEVI and CCS but when 80-90% of the EV’s sold will be equipped with NACS the profitability of the CCS stations will plummet as will their reliability as the NEVI funds are exhausted. It’s more of a liability at...

I have the the adaptor in my trunk of the my 3. Have yet to use it over 43k miles. Not really needed as of yet. you have a point…. I couldn’t charge a Tesla at a Ran even with the adaptor…. Kind of blows open that all CCS connectors are open to all. I think other companies other than Tesla...

With a tesla I rarely compete for the 17,000 dc fast chargers…. I charge at home or destination level 2’s most of my time. Most times I use Tesla Superchargers it’s mid journey on the way to a destination and they are mostly empty and honestly wish I would see more of the stalls being used...

All this IRA money given to these companies to install CCS will be for naught. They will let the network go and it will be broken down and unrepaired while being a money draining expenditure. Since Tesla’s connector is open source and likely 90% or greater of the EVs will use that connector...

So all GM and Ford dealerships will becoming public charging spots for all NACS equipped vehicles as they build out their network. Now if Rivian jumped on board and offered NACS connectors the network of charging just gets bigger for everyone. This will speed adoption of EV’s of all brands and...

People can buy an adapter from Tesla for that on the cheap….

Rivian should shut down the assembly line now and change to the NACS. No waiting for Magic docks to travel long distance, stress free, in a Rivian. Have not got my Rivian yet but always wanted the NACS on it as I already have an adaptor I have yet to use to where you can plug a NACS into CCS...

I would reach out to Lectron and inquire with them since Rivian seems to be blaming Lectron. I would be curious if other EV’s using the Lectron adapter are experiencing the adaptor “damaging” their vehicle charge ports.

Tesla charging fan here…. My feelings is Tesla has moved to the point that they deem the NEVI funding not important and insignificant due to being spread around between so many companies and the unnecessary charger installations tesla would have to install. I think with Ford switching to NACS...

If tesla connectors are super secret how come EVgo is installing the NACS connector on some of its chargers?

If Ford wants to sell EV’s in the number it hopes it is a smart move to go NACS and ditch CCS…. CCS is likely to go the way of Chademo…. I hope these Ford dealers that are signed up to sell Ford EV’s install NACS connector on the required chargers they have to install since Ford is switching...

Prime spots are typically the closest and cheapest to install infrastructure for Level 2 chargers at business and hotels. Sometimes far away spots would just cost the business too much to install level 2. I think they need/should allow boots to be placed on offenders of ignorance and...

To me an EV parked in an EV charging spot and not plugged in as worse then a deleted diesel pickup parked in a charging spot and idling. I have higher expectations for EV drivers. In a year an a half of having an EV and 42,000 miles later I have seen 1 ice’s charging spot but it is a weekly...

I think there should be a special license/test of common sense before you are allowed to purchase an EV. I see this way too often…. I see it more than I see ICE’d charging spots. It’s just as bad if not worse when charging spots get EV’d. Not that it applies to anybody here but FYI your...

I think Rivian could offer CP or AA as a subscription and make money. I used CP in other vehicles and found it MEH. But if Rivian offered on a subscription basis maybe they could make some money by offering it which wouldn’t be a bad thing for the company. Rivian offer these things as a...

One of the cheapest EV’s, Leaf, lost the credit availability…. Doesn’t feel like this policy will have the effect of getting EV’s in the hands of the masses they should of left what was in effect intact instead. It worked great as was! Instead they royally screwed start ups and catered to...

I’m not a 100% if Tesla offers chargers that plug in , and don’t think they do so you would be stuck having to have the hardwired chargers installed if you want tesla wall connectors. Electrician should be able to do load calcs to see what you have available on capacity. Many may not be...

You can load share up to 6 wall connectors with the gen 3 units in any connector configuration.…. 1 leader and 5 followers. Not sure of your situation on electric capacities but you can from my understanding install 2 onto one circuit breaker if you don’t have panel capacity. Combined the...

Yes they load share. Both are gen 3’s. I have the tesla connector charger set as the primary/lead charger. Combined they won’t pull more then 70 amps via my my own settings after doing my own load calcs on my 200amp panel. Both chargers are on their own 60 amp breakers in my situation…. The...
