    Question for home charging install - wire size

    100 amp service on a NEW house, Something ain't right. 200 amp service is the standard where I live in South Alabama. And Steer clear of any ALUMINUM WIRE, not acceptable in the house PERIOD. These specs should be in your contract and not left up to chance.

    Supercharger - Ellenton, FL

    True the Super Chargers are open 24/7 but the mall is not so if you arrive between 11PM to 4:AM the gates to the parking lot are locked. Call security at 773-680-4233 and they will come open the gate. Nice guys. They were nice to standby and chat while supercharging at 2:AM in the morning...

    Supercharger - Pensacola, FL

    I see no problem with that. Both areas have HIGH traffic count daily, both are close to services for the traveler. Keeping them both is a win. Pine Forest Road is a nightmare in the afternoon with the way the un-balanced lanes are set up with 2 lanes South bound and only 1 lane North bound...

    Supercharger - Robertsdale, AL

    I live nearby and it does NOT take long to exit. I ALWAYS use the West entrance / exit end and it's never a problem, ever. The SC are in the South East corner of the parking lot towards the Beach Express.

    Tricky Wall Charger Install - Stone Detail

    Option "B" Still use the great PVC board material and use variable-length / custom cut "stand-off" spacers to plumb up the alignment of the PVC board. Think small diameter nylon tubing or PVC conduit. Anything to be able to pass a bolt thru it and be able to tighten up on it to pull the...

    Personally, I heat my home with a wood stove and seldom ever use the Heat Pump even though I could but prefer not and I let the flames keep me entertained and put me to sleep watching them. House is ICF so heating is not critical anyway. I have a buried 500-gallon propane tank and generator to...

    I hear the GM Volt is leading the way in EV technology, I heard someone say recently. Probably one of those since it's made by a large OEM with so much experience in selling cars so they have it all figured out I am sure.

    Tesla deletes cheap Cybertruck from its website

    Will the Cybertruck Be able to tow a 5th Wheel?

    When you drop the trailer the forward "landing gear" wheels come down and support the load and engage a parking brake so your trailer is safe. Check out the videos you will be amazed at what this rig can do, it winches the trailer to the truck and locks in place. Extremely maneuverable, like...

    (4) Powerwalls with 8kw Solar Array cost concerns

    South Alabama, near the coast, Baldwin EMC is our Co-Op power provider. It's a 24/7 flat rate of .084 per kWh. Not quite 9 cents per kWh. .......... $95.00 / 1130 (kWh) = $ 00.084 per kWh. I hear HI has some steep rates.
