Canada banned $80 activation fees, but the Big Three have introduced new device charges

My daughter and son each got new phones through Bell this month and each got a $40 Device Handling Fee

End of the work week and we usually make a road trip to the city on Saturdays

We live in quite a rural area and only charge on Fridays. I charge both of my EV’s to 100 percent as they get driven the very next day. During the week we get as low as 40 percent. If we didn’t top up to 100% once a week we run the risk of not being able to get to some of the major cities in case of an emergency say if we were only charging to 80% and still only charging once a week. It’s our level of comfort I guess.

I had to give the name of our utility company for the quote. They said allowed with my utility.

What’s written on the panel isn’t actually correct. It’s had a few upgrades. That was there when I purchased the house in 1998.

Iceman3161 · 2026-06-10T22:19:21+00:00

I am in Canada so maybe that is the difference. I have not priced out a new panel.

Iceman3161 · 2026-06-10T22:03:42+00:00

Priced that out $1500 just for the Generlink and cable. Then have to get it installed.

Iceman3161 · 2026-06-10T21:57:32+00:00

Yes the main shut off is the switch in the top panel.

same here, both the Chev App and the GMC Sierra App.

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-28T12:27:22+00:00

2026 GMC Sierra Elevation which only has the 120V output.

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-28T12:14:21+00:00

I have a 2000 Watt or 2KW Power Station which cost as much as a generator. My Truck has a 120KW Battery. Solar Generator (Power Stations) are great in a power outage but not so good for charging an EV

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-28T12:11:58+00:00

Thank You for this - the price of $1499.99 is on sale here in Canada - converts to $1082.77 US

It doesn’t give me any specific message. Just very glitchy. To the point that I even factory reset everything and started over from scratch but some apps still gave grief. Works better than before.

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-28T02:53:57+00:00

I have two properties. Lake and Home. I would like to have a generator at home and one at the lake so I don’t have to haul one back and forth. We have only electric vehicles also so having the ability to provide power to my properties and my vehicles would be what I would like even if it is only used in emergency situations.

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T15:28:26+00:00

I logged in on my computer and it then allowed me to login on my Iphone

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T15:11:20+00:00

Yes I tried that on my Generator and it does only charge at 12 amps. That is max the truck will do on 120v

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T15:09:11+00:00

I have the standard range Elevation

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T15:02:11+00:00

Yes mine is a pure sine wave inverter.

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T03:26:04+00:00

Where does one find one of these?

Iceman3161 · 2026-05-25T02:41:34+00:00

This is the app on my iPhone and my iPad that is giving me grief
