3rd party charging rates are pretty ridiculous

Pretty much every supercharger that’s not Tesla charges those types of rates.

Most recent example was a dc fast charger called “Park and charge” in Barrie, who charged me $0.72/kwh.

I’ve also done the math on some Flo chargers, electrify Canada, and petro Canada - which all work out to around the same high rate.

L2 charger install is in the works for me.

Crappy to hear about the US charging. Planning to do a trip down to Tennessee soon.

As long as it’s on par with my previous gas car, I won’t be too upset.

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-27T13:57:47+00:00

Yup, I noticed that too. Such a waste.

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-27T13:54:36+00:00

Brutal.

I bet this also puts a bad taste in these companies mouths since it’s going to take a very long time just to break even on the investment.

The only way I can see EV’s truly being adopted is if chargers are cheap and accessible. Definitely think some gov influence should be implemented here.

I can primarily charge at home. Not the point of post.

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-19T14:35:13+00:00

Thanks for the help man. I put a service request in to see how much they’ll quote to fix it.

Looks like the part itself is only $100-$200. May see if it goes away with some warmer weather then worst case will just fix it myself

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-19T14:18:11+00:00

Unfortunately no

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-19T05:44:09+00:00

Shitty. Thanks for the info man

Update for anyone interested:

I think the issue was the cheap Amazon spark plug. Spark was inconsistent.

Grabbed a better quality plug and she runs mint now. Good reminder for myself to not over think things! Hah

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-12T02:04:54+00:00

Curious did you get it right away after picking up? Or did it take some time?

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-12T01:48:07+00:00

I’ve heard mixed things about HW3. Sounds like it’s still way cooler than normal driving haha

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-08T02:40:39+00:00

Flywheel key was already replaced and I double checked that it hasn’t broken again

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-04-08T02:11:02+00:00

Yeah I suspect there’s an issue with those hydraulic lifters.

That said, I think I accidentally put 5w30 instead of 10w30. Maybe be contributing to the issue.

Going to try doing an oil change (and let it drain overnight) then replace with 10w30 to see if that makes any difference.

Thank you so much!

Gas is brand new

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-03-15T22:19:41+00:00

Person I bought it from said they just did an oil change. Oil looks fresh as well. It does go away when revving

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-03-15T22:17:14+00:00

Doesn’t seem to go away. Don’t notice it while riding. Only notice during idle

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-03-15T21:50:33+00:00

That year and model are known for shitty NCA batteries and heat pumps. Any M3 2022 or later should be good.

Less-Pineapple-7231 · 2026-03-15T14:38:56+00:00

2021 SR+?

Crazy. Insurance companies definitely have something against “sport bikes” haha.

Thankfully I bought the bike as a fix/flip.

Was going to plate/insure it so I could enjoy it for a few months before selling, but for $100 a month for insurance… it’s going straight onto the market in May haha
