2.3-2.5mi/kWh dropped to 1.8-2.0 mi/kwh

Do you need to charge it? I’ve driven an hour to an airport, arrived with 60% soc, parked in normal parking then when my trip was done drove the EV home

I never understood this joke. Because I have an EV now I can’t use alternative fuels? Should I have sold my lawn mower that uses gas? Do I need to convert my business generator to battery back up all because I got an ev?

Is the wallbox a smart charger? I get wallbox and one other charger mixed up between the two. I read a story on the evse sub reddit where someone bought a smart charger from eBay. They got it installed and working but then the manufacturer remotely shut down or locked the charger from working saying it was stolen

I read somewhere the 92 kWh pack is not the usable amount, only 70 something kWh is usable. It’s laughably small for the size of vehicle. My truck has a 98kwh pack and that’s usable amount, it seems disingenuous if Ford advertised my truck as having 110-115kwh pack which isn’t a lie but it’s not usable.

I’m not in Canada but at 4500 ft in Idaho it has hit 20 degrees fahrenheit over the past week, 15 on some nights. I park outside and using level 1 charging I still pull 1.2 kWh.

My truck is currently averaging a tiny bit less than 2 miles per kWh. That means a 1kwh portable power station will give me a whopping 2 miles of range. Quick search for portable power stations it seems they won’t be very portable once they have large capacity. I found a 3600 watt portable station that’s 100 lbs, that doesn’t seem ideal to lug around. Plus if I’m averaging 2 mi/kWh, 3.6 kWh station will only give me 7 miles of range, assuming I can get all of the 3600 watts into my truck without any loss, which isn’t likely. $3,000 for this big portable station, expandable to 25 kWh which is my math is correct I’ll need to buy 6 more of these, the extra battery stations are $2000 which means I’ll need to pay $12,000 plus the main battery station of $3000, so $15,000 to get me 25 kWh. My truck battery pack is 98kwh, let’s say 100 kWh for easy math. This means $15,000 will get me only a 25% charge.

I saw one in person in southeast Idaho of all places. It sticks out for sure, the light bar is thick/massive, I saw it from far away. When it drove by it looked like a prop from a sci-fi movie, so odd and weird, I think I like it, but not sure

Don’t eliminate level 1 charging, maybe there’s a regular ol 120 outlet on your parking garage. If not I like the comment about not thinking like Ice and filling up once a week. Charge up on spots you frequent

Those rams are super sharp rigs, congrats on your move

My lightning replaced a 2013 Tahoe and we were paying around $200 in gas every month. It was getting old and in my town the Tahoe/Yukon/suburban vehicles are very popular so for me to replace it by options would be a used Tahoe with 120k miles for $20k or something newer which are few and far between and I’d spend maybe close to $40k . The lightning was 57 so I wasn’t far off, is kind of a wash with the savings on gas, those savings go to the truck payment now

I don’t know why I keep reading comments in here that it’s comparable to a lightning. Lightning weighs 6000-6500 lbs depending on the battery. That doesn’t seem close to Tesla 8000 lbs
