Had an electrician over today doing some service panel upgrades. My custom Dino Electric pump is now in service! This project has taken nearly as long as I've been waiting for my R1T.

Its a 1940's Bowser & Co. gas pump (restored in Dino apparel) with a 40A Level 2 charger and customized plug / handle. The pump handle actuates the J-1772 latch when attached to the vehicle. So pulling up on the trigger is actually functional! Love that.

A few minor changes still to do. Going to swap out the signage to say "Dino Electric". Planning to change the "Ethyl" vinyl to something else as well. Any ideas?

For now, its charging my BMW i3S.

Do you have solar panels? Maybe "SOLAR"? Or if you subscribe to a "green tier" from your power provider maybe "GREEN" or "WIND/HYDRO"?

Maybe change from ETHYL to Joules, Seems an apt comparison.
By the way I love this installation. I could see this "Electron Pump" becoming a niche market.

My dad had a service station for nearly 50 years, in a state that it’s still illegal to pump gas. He was full service the entire time. Even when I was just helping out I would get scolded for not washing windows or checking oil. This is such a great idea and so well executed. My pop will get a kick out of it.

My suggestion is Ampere.
