When are the 2023.5 Ford Motor Company F150 Lightning’s going to get 500 amp charging. The 2022’s and 2024/5 have it, but not the 2023’s? The 2022’s have had it since October 2024. More than half a year later and we can’t get an OTA?

Since CPO's don't own the transformer, it will make it that much easier for AppleGreen to install new DCFC without the wait for new transformers, just use the ones the utility already placed for the superchargers. Trying to put a good spin on this.

I just did an EV Road Trip that was 1,175 miles and didn’t even think it was anything special to overly post about it.

Stopped to feed the dog on the way home so figured stopping at Cajon Pass to watch some trains with my Ford Motor Company F150 Lightning would be the perfect spot.

Got to love the CA DMV. First you have to pay $10 every 5 years for a permanent trailer (not so permanent) but if you don’t want to operate it, you can pay $27/year. Help make this make sense.

I love going to PlugShare and checking in to a site and seeing my photo as the main location photo. My picture is from almost 2 years ago. And props for Circle K Stores charging being cheaper than the nearby Tesla Supercharger even with the membership.

Some videos from this weekend. We went for a drive and saw a pair of F35’s take off, and then headed to east of Niland to Flowing Wells and caught some trains. It was a nice cool 111° out there.

Went to a Tesla Charging Supercharger in Reno and we saw a group of people waiting on the sidewalk and the people parking and lining up. We at first thought maybe they were casino workers, but then noticed the Tesla pants. Must be the shuttle location for Gigafactory.

Went hiking through the tunnel and snow sheds on Donner Pass today. Hiked 5.8 miles. Tons of graffiti, even saw one guy adding to it.

Stopped by the EV Range charger in Portola, CA. I’ve been waiting for this station to open for a while, but a $2 session charge on top of 60Ā¢/kWh! 🤯 I didn’t need a charge so we just left. The per kWh rate isn’t horrendous being a charging desert and likely not a huge EV route,
