I live in unincorperated Littleton these days so yes I am some distance from the Denver airport. How often do you go to the airport? The money saved buying a $14000 car could be used for uber or the A line (train). Being in Colorado my bigger concern is recreating in the mountains or other...

While I certainly understand the car utility value vs the price one thing about people like you is you helped push mass market EVs. At a time when the Roadster was beyond the reach of most you helped support mass market EVs. Nissan made a number of mistakes but they at least tried to have a...

I spent the summer in Japan with family and saw them too. They are the most popular EV in Japan. There were also several LEAFs in my families neighborhood as I walked around. While I have converted my wife who now thinks gas is stinky and gross the rest of the family is still driving ICE...

Your car is over 3 years old, does it actually work? As my 2019 stopped working and I am hearing about a 3 year cutoff I am wondering. For me the best use is to know charging amount so I know if a charger poops out like an evconnect so I can go reset it or if I have enough to leave. Some DCFC...

I have good reception where I live. In my 2019 SV Plus EV Connect broke some time back. I took it in for the recall and they told me to call them. I called in and they said I have to pay for it to work. As no charge update or anything I think it is a car issue. I have disconnected 12v and...

I too do not trust Tesla or their network but as long as the other networks do not go out of business it should be OK. Don't like gas station chain 1, go to chain 2. That means we need at least 2 DCFC (from different networks) every hundred miles or so. EA has reliability issues and has even...

BTW possible adapter coming. https://a2zevshop.com/products/dc-ccs1-to-chademo-adapter-125a-500v

As far as a forum goes I think the best we have for now is https://www.ariyaforums.com/

If you find out I would love if you post back here.

Worse for me is chargers with nothing around. Nice to have a place to use the bathroom or buy a drink or whatever.

Too bad. We are usually stuck there for at least 15 minutes usually longer, probably what needs to happen is to put a charger in gas stations or other convenience stores to help encourage us to buy a snack or drink while we wait. I would think this also happens at a grocer to be honest as even...

https://www.topspeed.com/nissans-solid-state-batteries-everything-we-know/ Nissan is determined to establish itself as a leader in solid-state battery technology to secure its role in the future of EVs and the entire auto industry. Solid-state batteries have the potential to offer...

On that link you click on I will use my own charger and can see the current supported EV models and chargers.

Because they have to be able to record the data from the car. Similar to home EVSE (or charger) they have just a few models you can set a schedule and Xcel gets data on it. I too have the smart meters but I suppose they want to look at the car specifically. Much like they have kickbacks for...
