I have been waiting for the replacement yoke, but when I requested it today the part number listed is the G. Think I will try to find a way to contact them about waiting for the H.

Thank you, thats the only thing I thought of. Just wondering what to do if there isn't a supercharger close by.

Is there a way to precondition the battery to use a public charger? Thanks

I think I'll wait until I'm back in Florida and check with the condo management and the city/county about EV charging regulations for short term rentals. Thanks everyone for all the information. I think I'm back to where I started with the Tesla J1772 wall connector or equivalent from...

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I have a lot to think about. As of now, I'll just keep using the 10-30 dryer oulet thats in the garage. I'll be there in January and am meeting with an electrician about updating the service panel and adding something then.

A little off topic but I have a short term rental property in Siesta Key that I'd like to add a charging station in the garage. Do I go with the Tesla J1772 or a dumb charger like the Grizzl-e. The Tesla charger might be worth it for the cord storage and side mount but the Grizzl-e can be 14-50...

Pics from the Indiana SC trip have been posted on the evtown facebook page. Search facebook for evtown. I plan on using the SC tonight and will check on signage and ICE use. It would be nice if the city would paint the spaces green like the Soldier Field garage and other charging areas.

Thx, looks like I'll go with the higher height. Also, without buying the HPWC it seems to make sense to leave the power cord in the garage. Anyone get and extra cord to use when away from the garage?

RN6482 should be here by the end of the month and I need to get the garage wired. Can't decide whether to have it installed at 18" or 48" from the floor. All other outlets are at 48". Sorry if this has been discussed earlier, I didnt find anything by searching
