1 kWh/da ~ 42W

Both my X and R1T pull about 1% a day. I’d say they are there. This is in heated garage at 65F.

No, they aren’t. In conserve the front wheels are delivering all the torque and are, therefore, turning faster (slipping). No slip = no torque. They wear faster than the rear wheel tires.

White glove service. Remember RJ promising that?

The Rivian requires almost twice as much energy to cover a mile as some Teslas thus for a given charge capacity it will take twice as long to load the same number of miles into the Rivian.

Check Art. 625. Yep.

It is the fact that it can be adjusted (and it can) that disqualifies it. Adjustable EVSE can not, under code, be energized with a plug.

3.7 kwh/mi!

That's what a lot of them do but there is a lot more to it than that. The direction your roof facets face, shadowing trees, the weather in your vicinity etc. But before getting into that you need to determine your requirements. You have a truck with high consumption - close to 400 Wh/mi. The...

Remember that you don't need an 800 volt architecture (motors, inverters,... )to charge at 800 v.

Yes. Now as to why it would sit there and work fine for years and then fail in this mode I have no idea.

I've never had this failure with a plug-in unit but I have had it with a hard wired one.

Poor contact between that "pin"and the socket causing it to get hot when 40A was drawn through it. Some plug in EVSE have temperature sensors in the plug to detect this or will detect the voltage drop under load and reduce allowable current draw if this happens. Definitely not a short - that...

If you buy now you WILL wait.

That's a bit of a reach on the basis of 2 stations commissioned.

But not, evidently, so amused by people referring to the EVSE as the "charger".

The choice between 208 and 240 V isn't made at the whim of the electrician. It is imposed on him by the nature of the service to the building. Residences are usually served by a single center tapped 240 V winding on a transformer whose primary is connected to a single phase of the distribution...

No, the guy that was there first gets the ion's share and the new guy gets perhaps 60 kW until the first guy goes into taper (which happens pretty early with Tesla). Also note that this is only the case with the older Tesla SC (150 kW). The newer ones are not paired. The CCS standard requires...

The main competitor is clearly Tesla who didn't get it right as their phantom drain is about the same and who are currently outselling the other competition (who did get it right) by orders of magnitude (but who knows what the future holds). It's hardly a huge problem as most drivers are fine...

I want to believe.
