How about switching to Ford v2h for a low price of $18,000 for this particular owner: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-ford-f-150-lightning-yearlong-review-update-1-sunrun-backup-power/

For this Tesla Cybertruck owner, his V2H costs $33,837.50:

In general, 21" is much nicer but you get less range and might not last as long as with smaller tires. So, it depends on what you are looking for. I bought a Grand Touring, and my goals are range and fewer tire expenses, so I chose the 19".

Other brands (Ford, Rivian) that have started using Superchargers have provided the adapters for free. Your VIN needs to be in the billing system to work so it's just not an adapter. Ford and Rivian got their VIN registered seamlessly so drivers can hook the Supercharger to the adapter and it...

Charging experience has not been as reliable as a gasoline station as experienced by Ford CEO and Electrify America CEO: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/charging-pretty-challenging-fords-ceo-110000710.html https://electrek.co/2023/05/02/electrify-america-road-trip/ Hopefully, a NEVI Fast DC...

We are talking the same thing. I went from CA to the East Coast. If my plan was to stop at Winslow, AZ to charge and I was still not arriving at the East Coast yet. If Winslow, AZ station is down, I have 2 choices: 1. Go back the opposite direction to Flagstaff, AZ station 52 miles away to...

Until the NEVI 50-mile interval is built, I did a cross-country from CA to the East Coast in my Lucid, and 150 or more is very good and practical advice, given the unreliability of charger availability. If you Go East on I-40 and the whole charger station is down in Winslow, AZ, the next...

My guess: . All brands need maintenance. Tesla have broken chargers too but that issue is hidden due to quick, real-time status reports and repairs. Also in your case EA 5/6 broken means 83% while if the next door Tesla has 5 broken, that only means 25%. .EA might have a strict budget so it...

The resistance didn't come from me. I only enter V and Ampere, then the calculator does the rest. I don't know what the Ampere number is. I just randomly picked one, then increase or decrease it until I got the 250kW answer. I got the answers from the web. The right way should be from...

I can either make up that Ampere number in order to get the answer of 250kW or I can pick any numbers on the Charger label: AC Input Voltage Range: 528V Max Continuous Current: 465A Enter into the calculator: 528v x 465A resulting 245,520W or 245.5 kW or round it up to 250kW to match...

Google is my friend: https://www.calculator.net/ohms-law-calculator.html?v=400&vunit=volt&c=625&cunit=ampere&r=&runit=ohm&p=&punit=watt&x=Calculate Enter into the calculator: 400v x 625A resulting 250,000W or 250kW

On 4/2/2024, Tesla already unveiled its first NEVI-funded 400V V4 Tesla Supercharger in Maine: https://electrek.co/2024/04/03/tesla-supercharger-maine-first-nevi-ev-charging-station/

You are correct but as others hinted, I would not expect Tesla to install 1000V stations anytime soon. I expect others like EA, EvGo, Mercedes, GM... will provide their own 1000V NACS well before Tesla will.

Not an expert but this is what I got from social media: NACS is a standard that includes all voltages from 120V, 240V, 400V, and all the way to 1000V, but it's up to the charger owner to choose what voltage to provide. Newer cars have 800V charging capability, but hooking to lower voltages...

There are just not enough chargers at current. That's why Tesla is building 164 stalls at Lost Hills, CA station and 200 stalls at Yeehaw Junction, Florida station. There were reports of long lines for Tesla Superchargers in Eclipse, such as 40 cars waiting for a small town of Van Buren...
