I have about 45' of charge cord (yes, I know that's a no-no) on a 40A EVSE and it is nowhere near 50 lbs. I don't know the wire gauges, but they aren't that heavy. Even my Rivian mobile EVSE isn't heavy, and it does 240v/32A on a 25' cord.

They need that to make it easier to get into the back seat.

Could you use github for this?

If the 5-20 outlet is dedicated, you could possibly convert it to a 6-20 outlet, for L2 charging, by replacing the outlet and the breaker. 6-20 is a hot-hot-ground. You would re-purpose the 5-20 neutral to be a "hot". That would be 3.8kw. There are EVSE that come with a 6-20 plug. I'm no...

Does it come with carplay?

Charging from 240V will be more efficient, and quicker. I could get 8 miles of range out of that.

Yeah, the point was to use it as a convenient battery pack, at 100% SOC, not charge it via solar. It takes 8 hours to charge it via solar. I charged for 45 minutes.

I'm an EV enthusiast. I'm also a Tacoma lover, have owned two of them and a Tundra. I would not trade a 6 year old paid-for Tacoma for anything. I gave my son-in-law my 2006 Tacoma to make room for a Rivian, only condition was the Tacoma had to stay in the family forever.

It describes the switches as "designed specifically to work with the Accessory Console upgrade". What is the accessory console? I didn't see it in the options.

You can carry a "solar generator" battery with you. I tested this with a Jackery 1000. The first problem is that EVSEs (chargers) will require a ground. Mobile battery packs to not have one. You have to use a "neutral-ground" bonding plug. You also have to carry a mobile EVSE with you. In my...

I think the issue is that the seats are going to come with the fastback, and you will have to pay for them regardless. Just don't install them, and then sell them on eBay maybe.
