Thanks to all who answered the initial question. I'll continue to monitor but it looks like I know my path forward.

So what would your solution be? Edit: That will not take 3-8 hours out of my day. Supercharge all the time? (Serious question). Edit2: Cambridge legalizes EV charging across the sidewalk - The Boston Globe

I asked the inspector if could I run the cord over the sidewalk in a channel. He said no. I said what other solutions exist? He said "we'll look into it" and get back to you. After them not getting back to me, I then started providing them alternative solutions. They never replied to my emails.

Filed a permit for installation on the house. It was denied. Spoke directly with the head of the permitting deparment about the solutions I posted above and was told "no" to all of them. They did. Immediately with a "no". Due to the cost involved with that, that's like step 25 and I'm on step 8.

Worked right up until the politicians went door to door shaking hands and kissing babies.

If I can get 5 miles of range per hour and can charge my car from when I get home from work until when I go out the next day (say 12 hours), a Level 1 charger would provide 60 miles of range and wipe away most (of not all) of that drive. That's IMMENSELY more helpful than trying to fight for one...

While not ideal, I'd deal with it if this was the best I could get.

Which, in the past 3 months, the town pulled out all of the sidewalks and put new ones in. I asked during that time if I could run a conduit under the sidewalk and there was no response.

A quick google turns up: Cambridge legalizes EV charging across the sidewalk - The Boston Globe I'm trying to install a charger however I can do it. On a pedestal at the curb would be fine, but I'd also do: On the house with the cord that goes in the sidewalk: In a channel that goes on the...

So the town I'm in in NJ won't issue a permit for my EV charger because I don't have a driveway. I've tried going under and in the sidewalk, however, they won't issue a permit. Anyone else had this issue? How did you get around it?

Yeah. They're REALLY bad. I emailed them and asked to close my account / get a refund. They did. I now filter them out on Plugshare.

Very true. So I did. Unfortunately, the cable coming into my home can support 100amp service.

For now, nothing. It's not too bad. I'm thinking longer term about getting the covers that go between the rim and the tire.

Coming in late to this thread; what was the resolution?

Have you seen home prices recently? I don't think I'll ever be able to move.

Welp, I did it. I (like a silly goose) curb rashed one of my rims. And it was for a crap charger too (coincidental, stay FAR AWAY from the OpConnect chargers; the one I was at was slower than molasses and more expensive than most Chargepoint locations. PLUS, their app is HORRIBLE. Not bad...

100% agree on replacing electrical items that are old and out of date. But the cost to upgrade service from 100 to 150 or 200 ain't cheap.

I can certainly do this if you're paying for it. Otherwise, 100 amp service it is.

Not with that attitude! :p

To prevent idle fees. When using an outlet that (for whatever reason) can't provide the full amperage.

So, recently took a trip out of NJ up to Connecticut. Here's my experience. Left with the car at ~90% charge. On the way out, we left around rush hour. "Basic" autopilot and lane assist were a dream. Traffic was/is so much easier when the car handles the stop/starts and keeping in the lane...

Good to know; I almost ordered that one. Instead, I bought a larger NVME drive, installed it in an external enclosure, partitioned it, and just use one physical drive now.

Did you ever get the wire routed? I'm in the same boat; I have no issues plugging into the center console, however, I would like to avoid any visible wires as much as possible.

Here's the one I used: https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist

Best of luck! May your car be 80% charged and your paint flawless. You panel gaps within tolerance and your financials figured out.

Surprise!

I have one similar to that and it does work. Better than the ones you used to plug into your cigarette lighter. Not as good as stopping at a Gas Station / Wawa / etc. to add air.

Maybe call them? I wonder what the cost is to return the charger when you get it.

That where the place I took my car to did; they did light paint touch up before applying the PPF. Worth every penny to have someone else professionally apply the PPF.

It's worth it if you have their credit card; 5% back on the wall charger was a nice chunk of change.

Progressive gave me a letter stating that the car would be insured on such-and-such a date. That was good enough.

Thanks for that reminder.

Ordered and thanks.

Same here re: 2023.12.11

Also, when partitioned, it's nice to have the additional space for offline music storage.

GOOD LUCK on your pickup today!

Does Roadside Assistance Count as a Claim? Yes, whenever an auto policyholder enacts their roadside assistance coverage, it counts as a claim. However, it doesn’t affect your car insurance rates as much as you think. Does using roadside assistance increase your premium? Roadside assistance...

I'm doing it because the place doing the PPF is throwing it in for free, I'd like the screen to have a matte finish, and because it'll help keep fingerprints off the screen. However, you're probably right. I think of my iPhone screen (without a screen protector) bouncing around in my pocket...

Had the same convo with my wife last night (about the spare tire). In the end, decided that roadside assistance (AAA and others) would be enough in an emergency. Thinking about it, yeah, it's been a while since I had a flat.

That makes sense (the tire shop not having the jack pucks). Time to add something else to the Amazon cart.

Trailer hitch FTW

I know that feeling.

Thanks for that - I see mine as "pending"

I didn't after filling out the paperwork.

I can't find a list; I believe PSE&G lists them when you sign up for the program. I 1000% know that the Tesla home charger (NOT mobile charger) qualifies for the program as I've already started the process AND qualifed with said home charger. Still waiting on the town before I install...

That's for a rebate from the state; this is seperate from PSE&G's charging and installation cost offset program.

To be eligible to receive the residential Made Ready incentives, the customer must be using a Level 2 smart charger. To be considered a smart charger, a charging station must be capable of sending and receiving communications via Wi-Fi or a cellular network...
