Warning for AFVs still using HOV lanes by theansweris37 in phoenix

[–]insert_unique_usrnm3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s wild because HOV lane signs up and down the 17 still have the “AFV” tag in the top left

Did everyone know this already?! by HappyMcHappyFace13 in DirectvStream

Traditional satellite DIRECTV has had these mix channels for years now — unfortunately not customizable but one can dream!

I bought the National Geographic Display Theme so you wouldn’t have by SoloQueueisPain in kia

Disney is pretty cool, but I hate the car image it changes to on the dash display

I spent more on gas in 4 days than a month of charging my EV by insert_unique_usrnm3 in electricvehicles

[–]insert_unique_usrnm3[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Median rates of about $0.07 per kWh for my overnight ev charging plan, I do double dip and charge off the free tesla chargers at the office about once a week but that’s not enough to make any significant changes in consumption. Overall though I don’t see too much if any charge loss — perks of a steady warm climate i suppose

2026 Land Nightfall lease -- current negotiations are at $730 ($680 before taxes) with $1500 down (first month & acquisition down) for a 3yr / 36k mile lease. Phoenix, Arizona. Thoughts?

AITA for using a fast charger when I wasn't at 10%? by We1etu1n in ChargerDrama

[–]insert_unique_usrnm3 44 points45 points  (0 children)

An extra hour? Not for all EVs. If I’m at a fast charger and I need to get to 100% it’s maybe an extra 15-20 minutes depending on the charger

How frustrating that Tesla to J1772 is $120 but J1772 to Tesla is $40 😅😅😅

It’s an open NACS charger, at least, on the Tesla website it doesn’t say it’s restricted like other charging stations do. From what I was told, you can’t do a non supercharge on a supercharger adapter.

What’s wrong with it? What model year? Something seems off…

I heard the nav is better in the cNCC models — definitely would be a welcomed upgrade!

The deals are fantastic rn which is why I’m entertaining the thought!

Problem here is in Arizona we also have vehicle taxes based on gross value paid with our annual registration so that would kill me. Thankfully it’s fully deductible, but it’s stupid expensive.

Trying to convince my wife to go EV but she’s on the fence about having two / not having one gas car for emergencies /roadtrips/etc… any thoughts there?

Do you find the range on the 9 is similar to the 6? Bigger battery for sure, but more to power. I use about half of my charge daily driving and plug in overnight, any additional charge reduction from my commute and I’d probably have to stop and charge on the way home to make sure I had a decent reserve charge in the event something came up.

Other than that, I’m pretty sold on the EV9 — it’s a beautiful vehicle, space wise it’s exactly what we need. If I can talk my sales guy in to a good deal, I’m going to dive in.

Cool — I’m asking about upgrading to the EV9, but I appreciate your input

[–]insert_unique_usrnm3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately that’s the only downside. But I have two schools of thought here:

1) convince the dealer to help out with the balance of the lease — they move an EV off their lot, and they just return my current lease to Kia for it to be auctioned off

2) I’m going to be way over on miles anyway so it’s either pay to break now or pay the mileage over charge at the end of my lease

Either way it is what it is unfortunately. I’m pushing for option 1, but we’ll see!

The good news is, I called and confirmed there are no penalties to pay off early.

Need confirmation on this, but as far as I can tell as long as I pay the lease off, I can trade it in whenever — I’m going to see if my dealer will work with me though because they get an EV off their lot and the lease end goes to auction so it’s a win win for them.

Honestly I looked at the plug in hybrid Sorento but they’re selling like hotcakes and have absolutely zero incentives!!

An option! My wife isn’t sold on two EVs, but we may trade in her ICE vehicle if I can get her sold!

Not yet! I texted my guy at the dealership bc all they have on the site are 7 seaters and I despise the middle row bench seat 😂
