    The 12v on the wife's 21 died and the trickle charger attached to the "access" wires was not strong enough to pop the Frunk. Had to roll the Harley over and jump the MachE funk with its battery. Best part is I decided to take the opportunity to clean the jets on the Harley carb and put a...

    Is ~150 mile range adequate for a fleet vehicle ?

    I grind about 350 a week on my fleet vehicle and I cover an entire county not just one urban area. If a 30 amp charger was available at the location I park 150 miles would cover most days. Only on those rare stepping an fetching days would it be bothersome.

    WiFi Connectivity for vehicle control scheduling

    We have 2 MachE that have NCM batteries that 100% can shorten battery life, You can set the level of charge in the car via the center screen. This can be set location specific (ours are set to 90% at home 100% everywhere else) if we want to go over 90% at home we have to tell the car to do...

    WiFi Connectivity for vehicle control scheduling

    As long as it interfaces with Android Auto I will be good. If the pack turns out to be LFP charging to 100% daily would be fine and scheduling can be handled by the charger at to time of day. Day to day the only connected function I use on my Ford is remote climate and juicing to 100 instead...

    Great information. On the drive motor, Ford sells them for $1600 with 281hp. https://www.ford.com/product/eluminator-mach-e-electric-motor-p2813075963 Also have an Elocker setup on the F150. Could be like AMC back in the day sourcing drive motors from the big 3.

    Basic questions about one pedal driving (Full regen?)

    Love one pedal. Came down Fancy gap this morning. Gained 2% battery and never touched the brake pedal once.

    Once we have the pattern for the rear seat bolts a person could fabricate a pintle for ol Ma Duce.

    School me on level two charging

    Correct. My place has 200amp service and the previous owners had an sauna I use as a cedar closet. Just took that location on the panel. Sauna in Florida is going outside.

    School me on level two charging

    That is a judgement call. I bought my first EV in February of 21 and bought the Ford 48amp charger and hard wired it myself for 48 amps. Damn thing worked for a week and bricked. Known Software issue. I returned it to for for a refund, put in the outlet and used the 24amp charger until my...

    Updated Slate interior digital dash

    Like the look. Could get one of these types of displays. https://a.co/d/axbIMDE https://www.crutchfield.com/p_104BE7ACP/BOSS-Audio-BE7ACP.html Question is will the Slate talk with your phone for Android auto. Now Android route planning is just as bad as Ford with just awful stop...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I installed my lvl 2 for the price of materials. Even if I paid a electrician for labor keep in mind that was in February 2021 and not a recurring charge. One thing imto consider is lvl one besides being slow to the point of distraction may not allow you to precondition your car and charge at...

    My charger and outlet live outside. This closureis what I have does have a padlock loop and a more sophisticated charger Emporia can be disabled remotely if one worries about the neighbors.

    Slate sounds ASMR video (horn, knobs, buttons, door handle, charge port cover)

    $40 says that horn is one of the early upgrades.

    School me on level two charging

    14-50 outlet to 60 amp with the proper wires is what I have. Gives you 40 amps continuous charge possible. My MachE came with a 24amp lvl 2 charger but I use an Emporia one that has a management app. I can monitor usage down to the penny and set schedules etc. with a 14-50 plug if my Emporia...

    It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    Eh, as stated charge curve trumps efficiency. Bolts are nice around town if you charge at home, traveling, they are an annoyance to other drivers. Honestly 2 hours endurance at highway speeds and a good charge curve that gets you on the road in 20 minutes are better than 3 hours endurance and...

    Open Air Kit Body Style question - how do you keep your truck from getting rained in?

    Floor drains are a good idea. Maybe a no flooring option so we can roll on some bed liner.

    It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    Road trip nightmare is pulling into an Electrify America station that shows only 2 available chargers and both are occupied by Bolts and VWs already in line..... Thankfully Tesla opened their network. Charge rate matters more than 50 miles of range.
