Looking at ABRP there are L3 EVG0 and Electrify America chargers on the route, so why the concern?

Physics controls your charging rate. A 50Amp circuit will give you 80% of that at the charger (40Amps). At 240V that will give you 9.6kW output, so roughly 20 miles per hour of charge. If you're getting a full 40Amps then any charger will give you that charging rate. I have an Autel that works...

Also nice to be able to use the truck as a truck.

Just got an email that EA member pricing is going up to 36 cents/kW starting March 6.

Even at the discounted EA rate of 31 cents/kWh it's still three times my utility's rate. Adds up over time (for the 135kWh battery it's $28/full charge - which I know doesn't happen, just using it for comparison purposes). I paid $700 to pull a 50-amp line and $450 for the charger, so if I used...

No big advantage but it does get a little old. I picked up 2 Autel plug-in Maxichargers on Amazon for $449 after coupon. Great chargers, took minutes to mount in my garage and minutes to set up with the app via Bluetooth. Much easier solution, pull in, remove the charger from the wall-mount...

There's a bus from PA to Italy? As a total aside, we did a week in the French Alps (Peisey/Vallandry) during January a few years ago. Snow was amazing (fell about a foot each night for the first three nights - perfectly clear during the day). Best skiing ever. ER was amazing as well.

My January-February 2023 R1S was delivered just before Christmas. Totally unexpected.

If you already have the outlet then why would you need anything else (unless it's something other than a 14-50 outlet, in which case you may need someone to swap it out, but not for anywhere near $799)? We just used a licensed electrician. Very efficient knowledgeable guy. His first time dealing...

Our door seal is pretty squishy and easily thicker than the charging cable. When the door is closed there's only a small crack of light visible , otherwise seals around the cable well.

First snow since delivery of our R1S. Loving the overall driving experience, haven't noticed any headlight issues yet, but ... snow is collecting on the hood. Absent an ICE in front there's nothing to melt it. Not a problem but unanticipated.

I bought 2 Autel Maxichargers a couple of weeks ago when Amazon had a $110 off coupon ($449 each). 50A charging, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity (decent metrics on phone app)and it has RFID connectivity that you can set to lock out unauthorized users. Very solid build quality, 25' charging...

Our panel was 60' from the garage wall mounting location, accessible via (dusty) crawlspace. Our electrician charged $850 for 6AWG and a 50Amp circuit. Took about an hour and a half. We were both happy with the outcome.

I suspect they're just warning generally so people don't jury-rig a solution that may be a fire hazard.

Extension cord? I bought one for under $100. A little clunky but may be useful in the future.

No photos yet because the delivery caught us by surprise and we haven't had a chance to schedule the electrical work. We have an existing 240v outlet in our pole barn and I bought an Autel MaxiCharger at Amazon for $449 (after $110 coupon). Wasn't sure how well it would work but I figured I'd...

A little stunt legislation. Nice to see elected officials collecting a paycheck for no reason whatsoever. If they want to preserve the state's resources they should just quit.

My neighbor who was late to the Rivian bandwagon picked up an R1T from the store way ahead of his anticipated delivery date and got a full home delivery experience. When we got our R1S a few weeks later it was an email pretty much stating "come and pick it up." We had a very nice walk-through...

Once I got to a place in life when I could actually afford an expensive vehicle it sort of lost appeal for me. We locked into an LE for just under $75 and I had nearly a couple of years to convince myself that it was worth the price. When the price increase was announced I decided to stick it...
