    Battery life of 120Ah

    Wow!!! Thank you! As I was looking to buy an i3s I was concerned for the existing mileage and what was left for me to use before the batteries need replacing. I saw a ‘19 i3s going for 25k that had 42k miles and thought almost half of its life was gone. No one wanted that so that is why it was...

    Battery life of 120Ah

    I read somewhere that these batteries give about 100k miles and it’s about $12k to replace? That correct?

    There is a bunch of these dryer buddy in Amazon so I’m assuming a lot ev owners have resorted to utilizing that outlet. Yeah I would like to extend the high voltage so as to get a good length to charge in front of the garage. I’m wondering how long those charging stations have of wire when...

    And I’m not allowed to do any cutting and drilling. My brother is paranoid thinking too much power will “burn” the house down cause if I had that option, I’d added a new circuit breaker and set its independent power 240v.

    Its 16amp is very close to the breaking point. That’s what I’m referring to. There’s only 6 circuits running in the breaker. So pretty much I’d have to plan out where to use this. Might have to pass on that. I will look at that buddy thing or some sort of splitter so I don’t have to plug and un...

    This equipment uses a regular outlet? But how could it do 16amp without tripping the breaker?

    I do have a washer and dryer in the garage but my brother and his wife parks their car in it. How long are those cords? I park in front of the drive way and we have a slot perfect for a 2 inch cord to go through it on the side.

    I def will have a Rex and yes I will charge most of the time in public but will have it charge at home with 120v regular outlet. From 10-8am I should get at 40 miles just charging at home, right? I recall regular home charging is 5miles per hour.

    I pretty much drive 45-50lbs on average and freeway at 75mph which a quarter of the day I usually have orders cross town. Again total out 140-150 total for the day of driving.

    Muchly appreciate the response. Turns I can’t have home charging so I will rely on a station. All these acronyms of what to use. I’m sorry I haven’t a clue what is what. I want to charge it and park at home. Guess I’ll have to figure out what is the fastest way to charge it.

    I’m not going out of town say 40 miles out and above. The farthest would be 25 miles and that’s super rare. I’m often driving around town in a 15 mile radius. My intentions are to ride my daily routes on one charge and with the extension just in case I find myself going over that 150 mile...

    I would not go cheap on safety. Def will have some smart protection and notification.
