I just traveled about half your trip from NC to southern Maine. I was shocked that all my EA charging for the entire round trip was uneventful. Every station worked, and delivered the request power, or max power for the station. I stayed at a Tru by Hilton that had two J1772 6kw plugs. I’m...

Are you looking for higher rate DCFC for road trips? I found my pure charged quicker than we could eat lunch or stop for a break on a recent 1700 mile trip. On a few instances, 5-7 minutes quicker might have aligned with our stops, but it would be inconsequential in the scheme of things. I’d...

I’ve had excellent interactions with the crew at Natick. They were great.

Sold at $100k

Interesting, I assume this is the emergency release mechanism. Good to know this.

That sounds like a fun road trip to me. I made a car purchase on Ebay, and drove it back to the northeast from the mid-Atlantic to save a few bucks. Totally normal!

What was the state of charge when you plugged in?

That looks just like Scarborough ME EA station..... Two stalls perpetually offline.

I experienced the problem on an android device.

Interesting statement in the article of “ burning batteries scattered across the roadway“. I suppose thermal runaway halts pretty quick when cells are no longer next to one another. I call that a design feature.

Low FOB battery message appears just left of speedometer.

Thanks for sharing this. I had a similar issue at the Scarborough ME EA station. The session did not automatically authenticate. The Lucid app asked to confirm the station, but only listed the four stalls 50 miles away in Kittery ME. EA customer service rebooted the charger, but issue...

I agree, the seatbelt warning is far louder than necessary. I’m still not in the habit of avoiding the break pedal while entering the car. My natural instinct is to hit the brake immediately. Perhaps the result of driving a manual shift for a million years.

Unbelievable. I guess I’ll need to buy another one at that price.

I assume the error message was displayed by the car. I have had this error at an EA station. It appeared to me the charger was not communicating with the car, and eventually the car displayed a charge error. I switched to another charger and the session authenticated. The issue with 110v...

Congrats on your purchase. Is it the RWD version? My original order was RWD, but that turned into AWD with the free upgrade last year. I believe it has longer range, which is what I was after.

This sounds like a charger issue to me, like the charger is telling the car it is 1kw. I've charged at 10kw at lower temps.

Leave the car at 30% and in a cold environment. That is what Dr. Jeff Dahn at Dalhousie University has been recommending from LIB studies. This leaves the battery in a lower electro-chemical and thermal reactive state. Here's a presentation he made.

Nice photo!

That is an outstanding program. At my usage of 1000kwh/month, that yields 3.1 cents/Kwh.
