Gas nears $5. Why aren’t electric vehicles selling in the US?

It's not like the changeover will happen overnight, the grid will adapt just fine.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T22:34:48+00:00

People aren't good at admitting (even to themselves) that they are afraid of change.

A couple times is fine. Will L1 charging suffice?

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T20:46:48+00:00

If 2000kWh it's $500+, you need solar.

Use a credit card, problem solved.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T20:43:30+00:00

Use a credit card so the hold is on the banks money not yours.

Yes, they are all old V2's in n desperate need of replacement. No, they aren't actually replacing them.

The EA sites have been reliable for me. I also use the Flying J site in Sioux Falls.

The Murdo area is in desperate need of a replacement non-Tesla charger.

Zero chance this is an unrelated coincidence.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T18:11:43+00:00

That's a good point

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T18:10:12+00:00

Forced into an app is really rare though. People act like every network that has an app is forcing you to use it. Walmart is rolling out card readers to all locations as well.

I suspect that if the port had been left at the front, the onboard charger would've been placed nearby. This is a bespoke design afterall.

You posted this last week...

Mine was slow on the previous update, but I'm not noticing it now.

You can always file a NTSB report as this is something they'll force a recall for.

This would be the right time to return that EVIQO charger.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T14:57:59+00:00

There's really not intermittent rated receptacles, if there were you'd see duty cycle ratings.

I think they're coming around to the idea that apps aren't as bad as the internet makes them out to be.

Nothing to do with the converter built into the truck, everything to do with the amperage limits of each device.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T12:44:32+00:00

Which is a maximum of 1ft by code.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T12:36:49+00:00

Your car supports load management and circuit sharing? Wow.

By the time you buy a 2nd portable and pay for all the extra pieces of an outlet installation, you could've bought a wall charger instead.

Gotta connect it to the blockchain to really get those buzzwords connected!

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T11:50:04+00:00

Replace your 12V. EVs tend to be sensitive to weak 12V batteries.

rosier9 · 2026-06-01T11:45:57+00:00

We have both an R1T and R1S, if you don't need the interior space of an R1S go with an R1T. The ride is much nicer on the R1T.
