I have considered doing more work on my own cars but buying and storing ramps and all is a PITA. The Pacifica can be done from the top with a pump but the S580 has to be done from underneath.

FL is a good place for ev i think. selling ev in WY that's tough
i think this is good though. with the ev ownership % up, that will trickle down to infrastructure development

florida is also ramping up solar use big time although the power companies have little interest in residential use. i did get my monster setup done, which wasn’t cheap, but it’s awesome. i do sell a lot of energy back to the power company. my elec. bill seems to now ba around $50 which includes charging ev’s.

Speaking of powered by the sun...
so 9 minutes from 30%-97%. (70% add, but 'normally' that last 10% is slow on other ev's). very impressive.
hyundai says 10%-80% in 18 minutes, which is also a 70% add, but not adding in the higher end of the capacity.

That is a lot of current being delivered, way more than the Tesla superchargers are capable of.
