That just looks like an uglier version of the Nx. Subaru concepts have always been disappointing. They never make anything close to the concepts. They just end up making an Evo X copy we didn't even get the fucks concept

Yeah, it's a really nice looking car. Unfortunately, no company will be able to really compete with Canada on equal footing until one of them signs on to use the Tesla charging standard. The convenience and speed of using the Supercharger network is far superior to that of any other third party charger i've used to date.

for city commute, I don't see the need to use SC. On the other hand for road trip, SC network and speed is miles ahead of L2/DFQC combined.

I'm on the strata council in our building. Our building is wired for EV charging and so owners can have a L2 outlet installed in their parking space.

One owner wants the council to approve the installation of a Tesla Wall Connector. I don't know much about these. Can someone explain to me the purpose of the Wall Connector, is it even necessary, and what are the risks if we allow it?

Is it a permanent installation to the wall or just to the outlet? My main concern is someone comes along and steal is by ripping it off the wall leaving a ton of expensive damage.

We have lots of Teslas that charge just by plugging into the outlet and nobody has ever asked for this before.

Thanks

The Tesla Wall Connector will need to be hardwired instead of plugging into the NEMA 15-40 outlets. The are optimized for teslas so they charge slightly faster than aftermarket NEMA 15-40 units.

You should make sure the owner provides information on who is doing the installation and probably direct where the charger can be mounted. (e.g. confirm mounting location are not near pipes or structural beam). Also, there should be a clause where the owner is responsible for removing the charger and replacing it with a level 2 outlet if the owner decides to sell their home.

My condo building took away like 5 or 6 visitor spots to install electric car charging stations... they charge a fee that's pretty standard............. I have yet to see a single car use them lol... I think electric owners, who still are relatively few and far between, are still making use of all the free options around. Gonne be awhile before those things see any action.

Was looking at Tesla Model Y's and my friend just told me to check out the Audi Q4 E-Tron, anyone know more about it? Seems like Audi put it out to fight the Model Y - SUV Class?

Not sure why there not much talk about this but I'd also take a look at the Gv60. The Q4 looks pretty good like a baby e Tron but this looks even better.


Also not sure that the Q4 pricing will be but I didn't feel like the model y is worth the extra $15k plus on top of a 3. You do know there's no grants on the y so you're paying $8000 more plus I think $4000 more price difference on top of the 3 plus taxes.

Eff-1: I think the owner want to install a permanent Tesla Wall Charger instead of the plug. The risk is minimal and the owner will be responsible for damage/theft of the unit. It is less of a hassle to plug in instead of using the portable charger that came with the car. If you want a physical idea how it look, there are two at Aberdeen.

JDMDreams: 1st gen Leaf is a very affordable EV with limited range.

68style: What rate is your strata charging per hour?

https://www.audi.ca/ca/web/en/models/q4/q4-e-tron.html - Starts at $60k.

It's the Audi version of the VW ID.4, only available in AWD in Canada. Exterior size is about halfway between a Q3 and Q5, interior is a bit bigger than a Q5.

It's the first EV that I can both afford and which is interesting enough for me to can consider. I think I'd want a bit more room but otherwise this seems like a great fit for me when I switch to an EV (I'm pretty keen on the ID.Buzz van though).

I think I saw on Jalopnik the Q4 eTron is priced below the Q5 that should help it sell. The id.4 is made with the principle of people's car so there's some cost cutting but the Audi variant should be better.

As for the GV60, I think it looks too smooth for a Genesis. It has the lights from the rest of the lineup but doesn't look like a Genesis. It's more of a Kia, especially in their neon green press photos.

i'm not complaining

more EV options and sales hopefully means battery costs keep going down with better range

hope the new chargers around keep coming
