Yep, my Pacifica PHEV gets a fillup overnight with our standard 120v outlet. That's about 30 miles. Sure 240v would be way faster, but overnight is enough time to fill it with only standard house plug.

I had one of my closest friends text me that article this morning. It was so obviously a hit peice that I didn't feel the need to read/wade through the trash. My response was "yep, in all the time I've been waiting for a Cybertruck I've looked into a lot of this information". Generally, the EPA...

OK, so that costs you a couple of dollars. Isn't that a good value, as opposed to having to deal with hordes of people free supercharging, and overcrowding the system?

That's future proofing. It's required in lots of states. The difference in cost isn't much when doing new construction.

Maybe most homes have 200amp service. But I just did a search and this keeps coming up. Pecan Street, estimates that 48 million homes nationwide may require electric panel upgrades to fully electrify. 100amp service is very common. And a lot of people think it's a major roadblock to...

AHHHUUUUM, Remember last week when I commented on the thread about infrastructure not being ready for EVs. And I said the problem I see is our older homes with only 100amp service? Yes there are ways to make do, with a 100amp panel. But the future is coming! Maybe this will be one answer for...

I agree 100%. It was obvious a while back at one of the meetings. Someone asked Elon about V2H and Elon was stumbling to come up with a good reason NOT to have it. They want to sell Powerwalls at a huge profit. They don't want to cannibalize that side of the business. I'm with Crissa also. Look...

Probably your dad is used to manual transmissions that use the engine to slow down a car WAY quicker than an automatic. My wife drives like you described yourself. She definitely considers speed limits as minimum. Her favorite complaint about other drivers is "at least go the speed limit"...

Yes, that would make sense to me. Just like getting water and supplies before a severe storm where there's a possible need. Plus your battery isn't just sitting there FULL. I'd at least drain some of the energy after the storm passed by. I am all in, on V2H. It's a great way to get value from...

With my Ebike, I've been advised to only fully charge it, when I'm planning on using it right away. One of the things that's hard on the batteries is to fill them up, then let them sit at that status. Much better to store them at 80 percent. With the possibility of a storm. I'm likely to stay...

Good points. Tesla puts the price out there for everyone to see. There really isn't any way to know what average price people are paying for vehicles with most other manufacturers. Tesla price cuts were making huge news, while it would be obvious to think that people are going into dealers and...

How about they put in a house plug to have a cooler (like this) in the back passenger foot well.

Here's a pretty good explanation. It sounds as though the march to smarter more energy demand in vehicles has brought about the need to go to 48v. And this is the start of the change. https://www.designnews.com/automotive-engineering/tesla-commits-48-volt-automotive-electrics

Funny that you mention Elon's response to that question on battery day. Elon's public speaking (or public lying) is pretty transparent. That response made it obvious to most people that Elon was stumbling to come up with a way to cover up for the fact Tesla didn't want to cannibalize sales of...

Thank You, I always like a great BBQ. I have been following progress on Giga Austin since the first day Elon announced they purchased the land for the Giga Factory and an Ecological Paradise along side the Colorado river. IMMEDIATELY, the wheels were spinning in my head! I can go to Austin to...

Hahaha, I just watched all 6 videos, and they did have me laughing. They did a pretty good job, and it was some good humor. They were playing with stereotypes. Even though I got some good laughs out of this, there's an agenda behind this. It was a bit of a sales job. But, it was funny. Just...

That video is a perfect example of what bothers me. Trying to stereotype and divide people. That's how to control people, by pointing out differences and dividing them into different stereotypical groups. If you're not with us, you're against us CRAP. Even the Texan in that video is a...

I'm a 66 yr old Californian (born and raised). I couldn't care less about all this political debate. It has NOTHING to do with what makes California my home. Nor does it have much to do with how the population EXPLODED over all these years. It is a byproduct of that explosion. I personally avoid...

My son and I recently bought E-bikes 40miles of range with top speed of 28mph. They would be perfect for getting around those islands.
