In Delaware, Rehoboth for example

I notice a number of 18kw level 2 chargers popping up. I assume that these charge batteries nearly 3 times faster than our 6.6 kw onboard charges. Is there any possibility we would be able to upgrade our systems to handle higher input at some point?

It is eye opening for me, I would like to take my FFE on road trips, but I want to go to areas with little or no public charging. Usually all one can do is go to car dealers, usually that means driving off-route and/or waiting for a dealer to move a bunch of cars that are blocking the...

So if I am understanding this, if you have a 100mile trip you would get to the destination faster if you go 30mph than if you go 80 mph, because at 80 you will need hours of time for charging (probably at least 4 or 5 hours of charging time) with the reduced range.

Plus in 3 years you'll have much better choice of EVs like the ones with 200 mile range. Also I expect the prices on current EVs to drop like a rock in 3 years when the 200 mile EVs come out. You should be able buy your leased EV (or a like EV) at that point for a real low price. It will be...

I bought my FFE in Oct. I survived much of the winter bundled up without heat due to the loss of range. I was was wondering if someone could give me an idea of how much range I could expect to lose running the AC in 90 plus degree weather.

I set out on a 22 mile trip with 24 left on my GOM. I got the battery depleted message with 8 level miles left. There was no place to charge. I did make it to my destination. It made me wonder how far I can go on empty.

I had one installed, I only paid $850 with installation. I am wondering if I could also get a portable and get the 30% credit. I think I can justify one for at home and one on the road. I was looking at this unit...

Going back to the original post, my understanding is also that most of the charging stations were built with government money. It also seems that the companies that operate the network are different than the companies that originally installed them. The companies that operate them charge what I...

In noticed that some stations are 30 amps and others are 32, I thought the max that the car could handle was 30, so is there an advantage to a 32 amp unit. Also I was wondering if a unit like a clipper creek LCS-25P with a 14-30 plug could be used on a standard dryer outlet, I would like that...

I like the idea of a plug in too, besides moving if I have a problem I can just unplug it to return it for repairs. I would like one that is rated for outdoor use though for maximum flexibility.

To me, if Ford requires a charger in a "customer area" Ford wants the charger in an area for customers to use. I would think if dealership wants to charge their vehicles, they should use the charger that is required in the service area. The only reason that makes sense to me for a customer to...

Thanks, I guess I was thinking about the post by unplugged, where it showed that Ford was required to have one charger in a customer area. Does that mean that are supposed to leave it open to allow customers to have access to it? The dealer I have checked out always seem to have either...

When you say they can exclude all but their own models, can they also exclude their own?

I would appreciate photos of creative solutions people have. I have trouble picturing the l1 locked under the hood

Thank you for the feedback. I am in the DC area, this is one of the few EVs we can actually buy here (although from what I can tell I got the only one that was available at the time). I didn't consider the FFE until we had the big price cut . It turned out to be about 8K cheaper than the...

Thank you very much, I am really enjoying the car, but not knowing how much battery is left was really bothering me. We started on a 30 mile trip this past weekend and the GOM (as you folks call it) said I have 50 miles. We got about a mile from our house and were down to 32. We turned...

I have been a very happy FFE owner for about a week now. My one real issue with the car is that I would like to know how much charge is left in the battery. I have read posts saying that there is a "leaf" menu that gives this information. I was hoping someone could give me detailed...
