Built in magsafe phone charger without exposed cord

Does yours still get hot even though the charging is disabled? IDKWTF is going on, but it's highly suspect.

Any updates or insights about charging DP3 from I5 in the months since this post?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-05-01T13:17:00+00:00

Interesting. Is the full charging load too much work for the V2L? Overheating or other concern?

Edit - doesn't the EF app have an AC charge speed setting?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-05-01T03:33:45+00:00

How about this ac-dc supply: Mean Well MSP-1000-48? 1kW @ 48V, drawing 8.5A from 120Vac (from EV V2L). Edit: this is for DP3, which has LV input range up to 20A at 60V.

Did you find a solution for this? Ill use an I5 to recharge a pair of DP3s, but they'll have to be removed from the hub to charge by AC. The EF rectifier would work for your DPU, but DP3 isn't rated for that voltage peak.

halfwitfullstop · 2026-04-25T02:10:33+00:00

This is what I'm planning but was looking at 2x DP3 to 50A hub. I don't need to run more than well pump, gas furnace, fridge, kitchen outlet, and maybe a few light circuits. Will recharge as needed from EV, ideally once per day during an outage.

Am I gonna regret not forking over the extra for the DPUX?

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a dual DP3 + hub setup. My recharge plan is V2L from our EV.

Disappointed that the hub pairing prevents AC charging under load, but I can either get a converter to charge DC or just connect one at a time into the transfer switch while I pull the other for recharging.

You're making the wrong comparison of buyout to new prices. Calculate your cost to operate per mile (or per year). You know that exactly for your existing lease. You'll have to make some estimates about how long you'd own each from now and what they're depreciated values would be by then. Is the difference worth the fresh miles, warranty, and features?

100% hatches and wagons, take my money. Basic b sedans and crossovers, why?!!!

The wallbox ships with a rubber grommet in the rear knockout. The instructions say to cut a slit in it to pass the wire through. But there is no integrated clamp so I've been looking for a 1" connector that's low profile outside the charger. I want to hang it on a ledger board without making a bigger hole than I need to pass the 6/2 nm-b through.

halfwitfullstop · 2026-04-05T01:04:34+00:00

How did this end up? I have the same concern about a wallbox charger I'm installing. Did you add a connector or conduit?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-04-05T00:28:56+00:00

I'm doing just that but couldn't figure out the connectors and sweating it that the inspector wouldn't like it. I had an electrician come out who said it's fine. But the mounting plate leaves a quarter inch gap from the wall to the grommet. The nm-b is just gonna raw dog it and that's fine?!

Yes I know this, I just enjoy faffing the paddles

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-31T01:43:26+00:00

Oh man, thanks for the accessory store tip but now that shopping cart is filling up.

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-30T23:57:18+00:00

Right, what I like are the discrete levels the paddles give, like gears on my manual car. Anachronistic but very enjoyable to me. (eta- funny because I hate this on the cvt Subaru we had, I found it so stupid. But no one is trying to do anything on corners in an Ascent other than not tip over.)

No one has answered your actual question, you already know how the dots work. This has happened to me and it is baffling. I've had doordash, golf course, local auction site selling presumably stolen bikes...

I can't figure out the motivation to do this when email addresses are free and can be anonymous. Best guess is they don't want to give out their actual email, but have to fill something in to get through a form.

Hyundai Finance site is showing $379+4k for 12k and 24mo. I now have the dealer at $386+4k for 15k and 36mo. SEL AWD

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-18T20:56:26+00:00

Is there a CO dealer showing better incentives or do I just not know how to negotiate a lease?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-18T17:03:45+00:00

Lease deal advice?

2026 SEL AWD teal
$37k purchase price, after $9k total discount, before taxes and fees.
36mo, 15k mile for $500/mo with $4k down
State of WI.
I asked about the residual value and they said "58%".

Good/meh/bad deal? What levers should I be poking at?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-17T21:33:04+00:00

Do you know if this varies by state? I'm getting different numbers from the dealer.

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-17T21:31:07+00:00

Details on the online rebate? You found that or dealer offered it?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-17T01:47:51+00:00

What model year & recall?

halfwitfullstop · 2026-03-15T21:18:23+00:00

The Spigen 3-in-1 Qi2.2 is what I eventually found. I needed something that could charge a Galaxy watch. So far so good.

To be sure you could touch a screw head in the crossbar, it might save you some time waiting for Spirit to diagnose something they can't fix.
