NACS to CCS for superchargers
NACS to J1772 for everything else (level 1/2)
Basically, both of these

Is it tru they dropped CarPlay & AndroidAuto for some new Google thing?
It is in the electrics. Also available in my 2024 yukon.
They run a version of Android with it's own play store. Some apps run natively and are more tightly integrated with the car. Full screen, use the HUD, are ev aware. Carplay runs in a small window

Is that the Grizzl-e smart? I still haven't installed mine. My breaker box is so full but trying to figure if I can add two more tandems
It is!
Could always add a small sub panel, and move the small stuff over. Doesn't require a main if right next to main panel. Probably a few hundy if the wires reach. Buy the same brand so the breakers move.
Total diy on that.
Get the sparky for the EVSE tho. Mine is coming to do the heavy lifting
That is a sub panel with undersized wires for the need. Also need load shedding for the generator cause they didn't build.that in

Saw a few articles on this. Setting the stage for GM profit center.
subscriptions and recurring billing!
in app purchases.
"For $1, I can give you a route that is 15 minutes faster!"
btw - this is going to be a thing with self driving cars.
People will be able to buy priority - as in other cars in the hive will let them merge earlier.
Lower priority will take slower routes to avoid congestion.

I look forward to grumpy-old-man-in-analog-car jumping in the self-driving-hive roads. 😆
I am 100% supercharging, got no home charger. I know its crazy.

That's crazy.I am 100% supercharging, got no home charger. I know its crazy.
My wife has 8 free charging spots at work but it's hard to snag one during the day when she works. She only works 3 miles away. I might start parking the car there at night and just run or bike to and from so I don't have to charge it at home 🤣. I can't imagine paying super charger pricing all the time.

We have about 100 spots around my work site. And you have to get in by 6:30am to get a spot. I'm usually in by 6:15, so rarely a problem but only charge on Mondays and Thursdays as I have plenty of juice in between. You're supposed to leave your spot when it's full but people rarely do and we even have a MS Teams channel to help facilitate. I ended up forming my own group and the 5-6 of us are good about letting each other know when we're able to do a swap. With such reliable charging, I still haven't gotten around to added a sub panel to install my home charger. Maybe a summer project
Got the reg renewal for the P car - it came with an interesting announcement.
All EVs will be charged an additional $250/yr on top of registration since they are not paying road tax.
I was hoping it was a 1 time thing when we purchased the car....
The AI says NJ charges $0.675 per gallon - so $250/.675 = ~370 Gallons.
The AI also says that the average NJ gas powered passenger car get a bit over 25mpg (all those full size SUVs!)
so 370 * 25 = about 9,250 miles per year equiv - ok, not bad. We might be close to that.
Funny thing is that we are not paying for the roads out of state!
I get a feeling at some point the car will have to report, and we'll get a bill.
-----
Here is an interesting one, as cars get better average gas mileage, the total collected by the state goes down,
so they need to raise the gas tax to cover. You might get better MPGs, but the wallet might not get any relief.
-----
We still get about 13 miles per dollar - with gas around $4, we now get 52 mpgEquiv
(don't do that Empg thing - it takes the amount of energy in a gallon of gas, converts it to watts and deals with it from there)
people deal in money....

NC has charged $250 a year and honestly it makes me not want an EV. I'd be surprised if I spent $200 a year on gas since I'm WFH.
If I was replacing my car I'd consider an EV but definitely not worth the switch. I can charge for free bu that's offset by a $250 a year mandatory charge.

I have a Bolt EUV, bought January 2024 and just passed 46,000 miles. 95% home charging with the included EVSE on 240V. My JCP&L bill went up but not horribly after getting this car. ~$50/mo IIRC. The crappy 20 year old Sentra short-term beater it replaced was only getting 25mpg average, so not exactly efficient for a "commuter car", was costing me about $150/mo for gas at 2024 prices. Fuel spending went down while car size/weight went up slightly. Even with the $250/yr it's costing me way less to feed the Bolt commuting 300 miles/week.
I have issues with the way the EV surcharge was implemented. A flat rate is not indicative at all of relative fuel use or impact on infrastructure. If replacing the lost gas tax revenue is the goal, why am I being charged the same for a 3,700# hatchback as a 6,000 Cybertruck? I won't even get started on the fact that my motorcycle registration fee was about half the cost of a car fee, $30-ish up until several years back, significantly less than a car (as it should be), now it's $65. Why?
