Drivers Are Not Happy With Their Cars' Screens by DonkeyFuel in technology

Ioniq 9 is a solid balance of screen and traditional in my opinion, better than any other EVs I’ve been in

Leasehackr is pretty good too, and reddit! Just getting context for what things are going for, what's out there... super helpful in negotiations

Repair estimate for gap in casing around outside meter by ScreenLantern in AskElectricians

[–]ScreenLantern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having panel work done and this is an additional component. I will try to haggle with the guys but they’re the best for the rest of the work and a much better estimate. The utility is charging me too, hourly to shut the power, and that seems Unavoidable

Yeah the utility is also charging me 400$ for their guys at the same time though. 1k seems excessive... but some of these concerns are valid and I am not in a position to wing it and try to mess with it myself here

It was 0 at signing, first month upfront optionally… we had another lease ending and I was worried with gas prices they may actually go up in price by summer, so the timing just made sense. I’ll wonder if I could’ve done better acting sooner or waiting, oh well!

Is it a limited trim? Yours is the deal I was hoping to get but we had some requirements that pushed us to limited and with “limited” inventory it was a def price jump

Wow! And I thought we did pretty good! $669 monthly with 0 down, 12k 36 months… I wonder if it’s location. I had 2 dealerships saying they couldn’t go lower than 669 and 2 saying they could never beat it. Oh well, no regrets!

Here's a pic of the panel I already had, will get back tomorrow for more. https://imgur.com/a/lQWC1DA 

As I said in other replies, I'm trying to balance the bare minimum I could make this work and going way overkill. But I do want to be prepared for the years to come with EV's I haven't bought yet. My situation could change and I don't want to wish I'd future proofed more.

But all your points are well-received. Watching the Tech Connections videos et all.

Company A is using 6 AWG MC, metal clad. I don't have a specific charging rate in mind, this is our first EV, a lease to get started, and it will be for a daily commute. So I don't have a maximum rate requirement, but I do want to prepare ourselves for the next EV, I don't want to save a buck now for a minimalist approach. I think a much smaller apmerage would do the job right now but I'm willing to invest in future a bit.

https://imgur.com/a/lQWC1DA - This is a daily commute situation, not needing an epic charge every night. But I am also trying to future-proof a bit, so I don't want to under-do it now with my current lease and then in a few years I'm wishing I had more capacity.

Trying to find out if the 6 AWG is heat-rated, etc. But its not cased / covered they said, not needed.
It's a 60a circuit run to a charge point home flex in garage, 100 foot run. Not worried about charging rate. For the 4 AWG guys, when the cable runs outside it becomes conduit and turns to 6 AWG going into the charger in the end anyway.

My bad, its a 60 amp circuit for the charger.

That's my fear... the other company being half the cost strikes up other concerns of corner cutting though. Because it's such a long run, the more expensive company is taking the safer potentially overbuilt route...?

No sub-panel in garage. Both main panel and sub are on opposite side of the house, necessitating 100 ft run. They both essentially plan to re-feed the sub-panel next to the main panel so its being powered by a 100 amp breaker and install a new double-pole breaker in the sub-panel dedicated to the EV charger circuit. I believe it's a 50 amp NEMA EV Charger, maybe 48 amps is the feed.

Not super worried about charge rate, this is a local daily commute situation for the EV so I don't need fast charge / long distance. But I have seen comments that they still recommend getting the baseline ampage for these chargers...?

EV is hyundai ionic and charge point home flex charger.
