Well this is a pain. Juicebox pulling out of North America and shutting down their app support. I'm hoping this doesn't impact my EV charging credit. I schedule charges in app so I won't be losing any functionality.

Every time I hear the word "juice box" I think of Talladega Nights, can't help it. 🤣

it is a good idea to offer some sort of set up. as you said, it is a huge objection if you’re gonna buy an electric car an easy place to go, through the dealer perhaps it’s not a bad plan

Subaru offering 10K off their EV where I am. 5K federal incentive, and 5K off if paid in cash.

It reports charger usage to the utility co and I get a discount off EV specific rates as long as I'm charging off peak (after 11PM or the weekends). If that reporting stops, I don't get my discounted rates

Lol where the hell are you? It's not 105 degrees in NorCal and I know that's not Baton Rouge, LA on the map.

I don't have any complaints about my cars' ACs' abilities (they all get cold fast...Merc has the best HVAC, of course lol), but yes I would definitely use that as well. It's so hot here in the summer.

I'm in NorCal, it's hot today, we are having a heatwave. It's probably more like 102 F, but because the road is so hot it's showing 105 F
