Plugged into the kitchen range receptacle
I stayed at a cabin once in Mendocino. The owners of the cabin said they didn’t have any ev chargers but can plug in anywhere we can. The light pole outside of our cabin had a light pole with an electrical socket and we used that the entire weekend while we were there.
Where in Mendocino? The city or the county? I had a hell of a time finding a charge up there
Man I’ll settle for a regular wall outlet at a cottage stay. Stove range plug is absolutely luxurious 👌
Your cottage must be absolutely swimming in bugs now
Why? How is this worth the effort over a few days plugged into a 120v plug (if you’re at the cottage what’s the rush? I’d assume you’re there for a few days)
I’m driving a Ford Lightning. 120V will get you out of a jam but even overnight it’s pretty useless. Would have gained maybe 80km. We’re 4 hours from home.
No Electrify Canada or Flo stops between? I feel like I can’t go 10km in BC without some sort of L2 or L3 charging.
Having had a similar experience I would suggest a couple of advantages. Depending on how low a state of charge you had on arrival, it might also be important to be able to make it to services or another fast charger if something urgent comes up. Also depending on whether there is an outside receptacle or not, this may leave the screens open for the least amount of time. I was done charging in half a day using a 50A receptacle recently. Last time at the same spot it was a 3 day affair. It is also more energy efficient to charge at 240V than 120V.
