I wanted to add that the dealer, Twin State Ford in St Johnsbury, VT likes selling and promoting EVs which was a welcome relief. I want to send them business just for that reason. They also offered to deliver the car to our door for free after we had negotiated the deal which was a really nice...

Thanks for all your tips! To clarify, it's a 2014, which has less incentives. There are still some 2013s around but in my case over 2.5 hrs away- not worth chasing. We did some more negotiating and... bought it! 36mo Lease, $297/mo, 12k mi/yr, no money down but we had to pay taxes & fees $865...

I see that now. My apologies I missed it before. I also noticed that somebody else made a 30A unit. Hope they don't get in trouble... Yes I agree with all that in theory. If the house is wired wrong then even an automatic scaling down of the pilot signal based on sensing which adapter is being...

I drove up and looked at the car today. I "borrowed" the car to bring home and show my wife and she liked it but they're not offering us a very good deal. Basically they want $340/mo with no down pmt, no trade in, 12k mi/yr, 39mo lease, we pay taxes + fees separately. I think I'll bring it back...

The NEC defines ANY load by and EV as being a continuous load, whether it's greater than 3 hrs or not. The problem with your DIY portable charger is that you will end up using an adapter for a circuit that is not rated for the amps that the Clipper Creek unit is signaling to the car. The reason...

nallgaier thanks for the tip! They weren't showing up on our previous search but they are now. I didn't even know VT dealers were allowed to sell them yet! I called and talked to Tim who seemed quite knowledgeable. We made an appointment to drive up and see him tomorrow (Wed). They are 50+ miles...

Ford opened up NH as another state where one can buy the FFE earlier this year. We live in VT but only 15 min from NH so that was good news for us. At least initially. I looked up (using Ford's web site) all the NH dealers that supposedly sell the FFE and started calling them. I've been driving...
