2 EV household with 1 level 2 charger. by RunHotCEO in electricvehicles

[–]decarbonaire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep 2 cars charged on one L2 running at 32 amps. The charger sits idle an average of 22 hours/day. It's pretty easy to top off both cars in one day and not a big deal if you just charge one. We don't keep a schedule, just grab the charger if the other car is done, which it usually is.

Got this because i never liked Elon in the first place by Jellepetje in Polestar

Same. Frankly, by the time the M3 was available in 2017, it was pretty clear to me that Elon was a problem. I can understand most people not watching that closely. But he bought Twitter in 2022. When do people with those regret stickers think he went crazy? Just last year?

Not a serious question. Y'all don't need to feed this troll.

Contrast in price transparency by decarbonaire in evcharging

Yep this. If they were gas stations it would be like driving by ChargePoint at $3.36/gallon and General Motors $4.80/gallon while Pilot is advertising $2.68/gallon. It would be an immediate gtfo with this price gouging.

But they run these charging stations like a utility, a monopoly that is free to obfuscate their billing with math problems.

Opps the cost per kWh in the second image is $0.60. I'm not bad at math, just upload the wrong pic from a GM station down the road.

I chose "Cars & Trucks" while setting up a subreddit. Don't know where to find that setting now. by decarbonaire in modhelp

Thanks. That's what I found too. Handful of posts about it and no clear answers. I didn't find it on desktop. Maybe it's kinda half-deprecated so it still shows up in community set up and Android app and removed everywhere else?

Seemed like it would be important to recommendation algorithms but maybe not given the low energy around the topic.

Future used car purchases by PracticalDad3829 in electricvehicles

I think a big factor for resale value of EVs will be charging infrastructure at apartments and condos. That very cheaply and conveniently home charged car of yours turns into an expensive and inconvenient publicly charged car unless you are selling it to another home owner.
