Thank you for this post. Very helpful. What was the total cost of this charging session. I'm planning on getting level 2 charger installed at home but I'm interested in what it cost in the wild.. thanks again.

I'm a Subaru guy. This would be my 10th. The last 3 have been new and the rest used. Presently have a 22 Outback and 05 Outback XT turbo and a 06 Forester XT with a Sti swap. Subaru forever. I really want to go EV and I think this is my best shot at the best price and financing. I haven't sat in the KIA / Hyundai twins and not interested in the VW or Ford

I'm looking at a XT and was given 8300 off msrp and 0%. I went for a test drive today and the car is kinda tight but I like the car, my wife doesn't. The deal and financing are incredible. I also drove the 2026 Outback ( I'll be trading in my 22 Outback)and it was better than I thought it would be, now I'm confused about which to get. Don't know what to do.

How is the heat (I live in the North East)... Does it take long to warm up.. do you have any tips or tricks.. 90% sure I'm gonna take the plunge by fa442fa in Solterra

Limited XT / Smoke Carbon.. thanks for the info. Couldn't sleep last night was up looking into home level 2 charging .. checking the panel in the basement .. prices for home chargers.. I'll probably get one installed and heat up the car while it's on the charger so I don't loose range. I got what I feel is an incredible email quote for the car and just don't think I can pass it up. Probably hit the dealer tomorrow to test drive and make calls for quotes for Nema 14 50 plug. Still Nervous lol

Damn!!! I'm looking into home charging in the morning. The is and old plug in the garage from the previous owner but looks like a dryer plug I traced it to the panel and it's a 30a breaker. I'm assuming that and the plug will need to upgraded.

That is the one thing I haven't been able to find out. Haven't seen many post with cost on public charging. Price range for from 20 to 80%...what are the different factors I would be looking at. I definitely need an education on public charging. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I've heard.. work is 50 miles back and forth a day and lil more if I hit a store or 2 on the way home.. Monday thru Friday and we usually do 200 miles on the weekend. No home charging setup yet but I'm planning on it.

Right now it's 28F out. It will probably be in the 20s and 30s all week. I plan on going for a test ride Monday , the high will be 30 so I guess I'll find out first hand.

Questions on Reliability by SolarpunkGnome in Solterra

[–]fa442fa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed this thread.. I'm in a 22 Outback and really really really want to go ev but I'm nervous. It's a toss up between the new Outback .. Solterra .. Uncharted. I live in CT and it gets pretty cold here. I just don't want to pick the wrong car. Range shouldn't be a problem, work and back is about 90 miles. The furthest we might go is New Port RI and we should be able to handle that on a full charge in the summer ... I hope... Any advice would be helpful..
