    Makes no sense when the EVSE itself is a GFCI. Likely this for non-hard wired installations
  2. School me on level two charging

  7. LFP Battery Chemistry

    I have two DeWalt battery packs, 20V, 10Ah. The DeWalt battery mower I bought came with two. I managed to kill two batteries purely out of boredom stress testing them. The 10Ah packs use Samsung 50S 5000mAh 21700 cells, and usually when a couple cells die in the pack, its always the ones...

  12. Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    Don't believe any news release from Toyota about solid state batteries. They've been saying that SSB's are just around the corner for the last 10+ years. They do this because they hope it'll make you wait to buy an EV (or never buy one) .

  15. PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    I drive about 2.2 miles to work, and 2.2 miles to home. I go to Wal-Mart and or Lowes every other week (about a 5-7 mile round trip). About 2-4 times a year, I go to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, a drive that takes about two hours. There are plenty of DC fast chargers in the DFW, in my town...
