This isn't an EV. It's a range-extended hybrid.

thx for your reply. It’s true though that hardwired can pass through 48A vs 40A for plugged in, right? that’s potentially 30-50 miles more per hour if I am doing the math right? We’re in this house for the long haul so not a need.

Esker Silver is a light option and they already have two shades of green. If they offered three shades of green I think some here might have an aneurism. ;)

Well worth the tiny increase on my premium for Comprehensive.

You'd still need the coil/hardware in the phone though. A magsafe case just provides a connection for the magnet/energy transfer.

Looking over the TOD option, that $.05 per kWh is attractive given the wider 9p-9a charging window and freedom to choose a charger and not worry about the wifi data connection to Xcel.

Thanks! I talked with Xcel at the state fair and they did seem really willing and knowledgeable. I already have a standalone panel in the garage with 240... I'm hopeful it's viable but I'm sure I'll need new copper from the panel and hardwired NACS.

I uploaded the wrong screenshot, I've corrected that to show 100% charging between Midnight and 6am. So I paying 1/3rd standard rates for overnight... but double whenever I charge outside that window. If I'm disciplined, shouldn't be an issue but... hard to tell if needs must would erase that...

Thanks @antimatter - interesting POV-won't be doing solar so... Have you gone back and looked at your electric bills before and after the EV and whether the monthly vs standard vs pay as you go makes better sense now that you have experience?

Ask the Ioniq5 how that worked out.

He looks fine - very comfortable in his own skin. Relatable.

Yeah- peak rate here looks like it is ~3-6x's higher than off-peak. Fortunately, off peak works fine for me.

I had Claude build a widget based on the Xcel programs and assumed range of the R2. Here's an example of charging to 8-% daily at 800 miles a month to offset range loss in the winter.

Prepping for the eventual R2 - anybody here in Minnesota using one of the Xcel Energy Accelerate options? EV Accelerate at Home | Charging Incentives | EV Charging | Xcel Energy This will be our first EV - wondering about the value of the monthly subscription vs pay as you go: EVAAH – Pay As...

If true, these are the kinds of behaviors that make the Rivians of the world and other audio makers think twice about building native support for third party hardware...

Rivian has/had to alter the front end of Euro-destined R2's to meet the same standards for pedestrian safety- it's one of the reasons they mounted the hood/seam as they did.

From a post on FB, a rep at one of the Chicago block parties supposedly said there are no grab handles.
