The complaint is not just the delay.

There are local buses from the Rutland transit center to resorts. It a short walk from the train station, and there are several thruway buses a.day so more options to Rutland than just the Ethan Allen.

Http://Railforless.us lets you compare days to find when seats and rooms are cheapest.

This should be something where they coordinate with local emergency services at some point, and get some school buses if nothing else is available.

There also needs to be a backup toilet plan for a train stranded without power.

The definition of "inverter" in power electronics is DC to AC. So if it only goes AC to DC it's not an inverter, by definition. The proper technical umbrella term for all of these power electronics devices is "converter".

Working live requires proper PPE and a work permit.

Not clear who you meant this to be a reply to.

I recommend planning to charge one car on L1 and the other on the new L2. Then, you can swap for a day if the L1 one falls behind, but

At some point, you or an electrician will need to assess the available electrical capacity. In most cases, you'll be able to install at the full capability of the Emporia you ordered. You might need to limit it to a lower power, e.g. 32 instead of 48 A, but even if it's even lower you have to limit it to, even 16 A gives you 3X L1 charging rates. In the rare case that not even that is avialable, you would want to have the Pro to use its load management capability. No big deal but you might wait on opening the Emporia box when it comes in case you need to swap for for the pro for that reason.

For the cost of the new high quality receptacle and the GFCI breaker that's required for a new EV charging receptacles, you could pay for the cost difference to upgrade from the mobile connector to the wall connector. That's going to be more reliable and a little tidier.

Don't skip using a real torque screwdriver for the polaris connector splice and for the wall connector terminals.

I think it would help to cut away some of the plastic at the bottom of the box. On a porch, having it a little more open and less protected from water is fine. A small table to support the charger could also help. Probably just a crate. Or use a strap around the top of the box to suspend the charger.

The plug has a temperature sensor in it, which is why you don't want to locate it remotely with a short extension cord.

Even better,

Specifically, Ford announced on Tuesday that the Fathom will be the first EV from a U.S. automaker with a starting price below $30,000 that does not need a separate wall-mounted inverter — the piece needed to transform the DC power stored in the car’s battery to the AC power used in the house. Instead, engineers built one into the truck’s “e-box” module that houses much of its electronics. That on-board unit is good enough to supply more than 10 kW of AC power to a home, Ford says.

They also say the shore-side equipment needed will be at least 60% cheaper than the first generation of that stuff (which included an inverter).

I think they mean set the clock to the wrong time. Set the charging schedule to start on the hour, but have the car's clock off by 1/2 hour.

If you stick to your guns that would be a firing squad, not electrocution.

But yes, m-w is holding the line there and they are both respectable and liberal with admitting new meanings, so that is good support for your position.

I'd start with the holster and cable hanger at a convenient height. Then, the other stuff out of the way, higher or lower. I lean higher, to interfere with the 120V outlet less. So probably A, but with everything higher.

but the cost differential between that and a 40A wasn’t significant.

In some installations, that difference is in fact negligible. In others, it can be very large. That's why it's important for people that go into the conversation with an electrician with an awareness that lower current is a viable option.

And I kind of think the pricing breakpoint where you get into lower price installations is going for a 30 amp circuit with 24 amp charging.

Living up to your username. Or, I guess if the ground is good, there's no such hazard.

It would be less work for the subscribers here if you described your situation and ask for advice about that rather than asking everyone to write essays covering all possible situations.

https://www.reddit.com/r/evcharging/wiki/options is one starting point that might be aligned with opie's question.

If you use plugshare and a better route planner, both of which have apps and websites, you can probably plan a route using other charger brands that have native NACS plugs (no adapter needed) and much longer cords.

Plugshare, or Google street view, might also give you a way to scout out which supercharger locations would work for you.

Or, you'd probably do fine showing up at Tesla superchargers and looking for a spot that will work, and if not, it's probably faster to take the bikes off than it is to go to another charging location. But I would prioritize the other networks first, where you know it will work without a hitch (figuratively), even when you have a hitch mounted rack (literally).

The Glenwood springs option is a great one. The trip includes let's probably the most spectacular day of train scenery in all of Amtrak.

But if East Coast cities like washington, philadelphia, new york, or Boston are on your bucket list, it is quite feasible to make the connection in Chicago to get there. If you book it as one trip, Amtrak will take care of you. The trains are timed so that missing the connection is rare,, and in that rare case they will take care of you, either put you up in a hotel and get you on the train the next day, get you on another train that still gets you to the destination, or sometimes even put you on a bus a few stops before Chicago that will catch up with the train you're going to miss a few stops after Chicago. The risk is just that if they need to put you on a train the next day, there might not be a sleeper available, and so you might have to do an overnight in coach. You would get a refund for that part of your fare in that case. To eliminate that risk, some people do opt to book it with a plan to spend the night in Chicago and continue the next day.
