Level 1 charging is slow

So, remember that story going around with someone's Kia or Hyundai needing over forty hours to charge? I thought that was weird, but admittedly I haven't kept up with how long it takes to charge a modern EV. When we had the Leaf, it was around 20 hours on level 1 which didn't matter as we always used level 2, which was 8 to 12 hours.

So, just got done putting in a proper charger rather than using the portable, since the Chevy portable kinda sucks, so we now have a level 2 Emporia charger. When I set up the app, I set it to 40Amp breaker even though it's on a 50 Amp as I'm a little paranoid. This does mean it will be slower than the max, but looking at EvoCharge's website, I think it'll work just fine, 8 hours. And if'n we used level one, 46 hours. Wow, it takes a long time now at level 1, I guess the batteries are just that big now.

Today, Today I fixed a leaking #toilet.

It took two trips to the hardware store.

We had to remove the tank, clean it, replace everything inside (including the sponge washer). I just finished.

I also admit that I took @amerikate’s #ChevroletBoltEV to the store the first time but my #FordF150Lightning truck the second, because Saturday drivers are all angry assholes. They don’t bother me when I’m driving the truck, even if I’m driving it the same as I drive the Bolt. Luckily, both are electric, but I do feel bad driving at 2.5 miles/kWh instead of 4.5.

So... @amerikate's #ChevroletBoltEV had a bit of an #AirConditioning problem recently, and so @Aminorjourney and her decided to get it checked out.

It was an expensive repair.

I just finished cleaning out @amerikate’s #ChevroletBoltEV inside and out for her business trip next week…

Her car is now shiny.

The #ChevroletBoltEV is coming back as an Ultium-based #ElectricCar.
