Yeah, I realize that now. I had assumed the car would display the total energy it was receiving, nit the net energy that gets to the pack. Now I know differently.

No, it didn't get warm at all. Yeah, will definitely test it out from a lower SOC soon.

I got mine yesterday and tried it out on an Electrify America station and a 24 kW IES DC fast charger on the ChargePoint network. Both times it worked perfectly. I have a review video up on InsideEVs for those interested: https://insideevs.com/news/463721/tesla-ccs-fast-charge-adapter-setec/...

That's a great price for the JuiceBox Pro 40. Those are the probably the best EVSEs available today, all things considered. (price, functionality, power)

They have partnered with Bosch for the powertrain. I asked them about that and they told me they thought it would best for them to focus on developing proprietary tech like the UI / UX, and leave the powertrain to an established, proven manufacturer like Bosch who works with a variety of other...

Hi, I'm the author of the article and have been a longtime member here, and I do appreciate the question. The way trade shows and automobile first-drive events work is manufacturers usually cover the costs of travel for journalists, but never ever pay them anything for being there or writing...

Looks like Tesla and eMotorWerks are working on a resolution. In the meantime, you can still use a JuiceBox without issues, because they have implemented a temporary workaround until Tesla updates their software: I got this from eMotorWerks. Attention: Tesla Model 3 Drivers Unfortunately...

Tesla and eMotorWerks are aware of the delayed charging issue with the Model 3. It should be sorted out shortly. If you're considering an additional EVSE, the JuiceBox Pro 40 is a great option, IMO. They also have an 80 amp one; the JuiceBox Pro 80. The app is great, it keeps records of past...

I did a post for Green Car Reports about this site. I had the chance to speak to one of the top executives at Quick Chek and if things go well with this site, they are open to adding Superchargers to more Quick Chek locations. Here's a link to the Green Car Reports piece: Quick Chek...

Can a PHEV use less gas than an EV? Chevy Volt Vs Mitsubishi i-MiEV: This Volt Uses Less Gas Than Electric Car, Data Shows

Yes, it was a range extended i3 and they photosopped out the gas filler flap for most of the scenes. However not all of them. I called them out on this with a blog post. If they had properly used the i3 they had, they would have made the trip without issue. It would have taken a little longer...

No, but it does look like I did in that picture. I may well do so in the future though.

That actually isn't black, it's a dark grey called Laurel Grey and it's the color of my i3 before I wrapped it. I wrapped it to have some fun and make it a color that nobody else had while seeing what the car would look like with the hood the same color as the body and the rear window dip...

Sorry for the late reply, been crazy busy lately. I flat out wouldn't have bought a 1-Series EV. I was pretty much done with the ActiveE when the program ended. The interior was way too small, the back seats were just about unusable and what is normally a small trunk was cut in half by the power...

So far so good. I have a host of small issues, but I'm a perfectionist and feel that way about every car I've had. Here's a quick run down: Likes: Hill Hold: It's different than any hill hold I've ever had. The car won't roll backwards at all, even if you don't touch the brake. You can roll up...
