    PA NEVI funding plans

    https://www.penndot.pa.gov/ProjectAndPrograms/Planning/EVs/Pages/NEVI.aspx Finally some good news in PA. 54 sites announced so far. All along the major highways. I had seen the article headline about a week ago, but was surfing Plugshare today and noticed several new planned DCFC's on a...

    Nikola Tre sighting

    I was driving home from Cincinnati today and about 20 miles East of Columbus on I70 I happened to glance right just as I was about to pass it. Pretty surprised to see one out here. Not quite as much of a unicorn as my Celestiq sighting a few months ago, but kind of cool. Also saw my first...

    Entire Chevy fleet sighting

    I had an interesting day at my go to EA charger in northern PA on my trip to camp today. The vast majority of the time I am the only one charging when I stop, although I'll get an occasional sighting since it is a good location right off an interstate. I was surprised to turn into the...

    First towing experience with R1T

    I'll start off by saying I'm a complete novice when it comes to towing anything. I think I have done it 4 times. Once with a U-Haul truck towing my SUV several years ago during a DIY move. Three times with my former Ford Escape, yes, a towing beast. Two of those I'm quite certain I had...

    The best EA station in the U.S.???

    There is an EA station in a Walmart parking lot that is 116 miles from my house and 75 miles from camp, a route I take at least once and in season 2-3 times a month. While I don't have to stop, with EA's per min pricing it ends up being cheaper than my home utility rates of ~0.13 cents/kWh...

    Enphase announces bidirectional EV charging solution.

    Been waiting for this. My solar system uses Enphase and I knew it was coming. For those that don't know, the majority if not all of the lvl 2 chargers at the Rivian SC's are Clipper Creek, which is owned by Enphase. Really hoping the companies have enough of a relationship to integrate...

    EV tires explanation by Engineering Explained

    Always liked his videos. One of the best at explaining things in a straightforward and understandable way without making a video so long you need to schedule time off work to watch.

    25,000 unit production goal might be tough

    The generally quoted goal of ~15,000 R1's and ~10,000 EDVs isn't looking too good for reaching the 25,000 goal by the end of the year. Based on VINs, I think the 15k will be exceeded, but this release from Amazon about being excited to have 1,000 on the road suggests 10k in the next several...

    lvl 2 to 100% vs DCFC - what's better for long term battery health?

    My home and camp are about 200 miles apart and I make the trip up to 2 to 3 times a month, sometimes more. Right now I can make it pretty comfortably by charging to 85%, but that might not be true come winter. There are 2 DCFC on the route. One of them is an EA which surprisingly enough...

    Help me narrow down my portable charger choices?

    I will be charging my truck at two locations about 200 miles apart, home and a camp. I want to get a portable 40A charger to use in both locations. I'll admit my first priority is lowest price, but that doesn't mean cheap. I think I have narrowed it down to 4 choices listed below with best...

    Amazon EDV Rivian Delivery Van - Munro walk through

    Around 10:30 they talk about how much thought was put into the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle with steps, handles, etc. Maybe the EDV development team should have spent at least a day sharing some of that wisdom with the R1 design team.

    The most American made vehicles

    https://www.cars.com/american-made-index/ I would be curious to see where Rivian lands on this list. They aren't even on the list, so probably didn't have enough data to be included yet. I couldn't find any specific reason they wouldn't be included based on the exclusion criteria listed...

    Off road BEV choices

    Well since many of us are now at least contemplating moving on to the competition, I would like to make an attempt at some form of summary of the current status of our choices. I am only interested in vehicles with at least some degree of trustworthy off road capabilities. I am not...

    Tesla model Y in the snow

    But look how great that camera resolution is!. And it probably has a couple extra cupholders somewhere. Priorities you know. This hatchback really isn't a competitor in the same category as the R1S/T. But seriously, if this guy was just out there to film a snow video, he is an idiot...

    Clipper Creek now officially part of Enphase

    http://newsfile.refinitiv.com/getnewsfile/v1/story?guid=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20220103:nGNX5NJKbX&default-theme=true I know Clipper Creek was at least the initial supplier of a lot of the Rivian Waypoint chargers. Don't know if they were exclusive or behind the Rivian branded ones popping...

    Enphase buys Clipper Creek

    Very excited to see this. IMO Enphase is the best of the best for home solar and storage. Been waiting to see what they would buy next with their huge cash pile and this is a great start. If my RIVN stock does 1/10th what my ENPH did I'll be ecstatic...

    Future V2H charging and any impact on warranty?

    With an upcoming move in the next few months, part of my home searching includes checking the Sun score on Zillow for every listing since I will most likely be installing solar. I'm on the fence about adding storage. I would love to, but the best systems out there are still pretty pricey for...
