checking out the lincoln charging station the knockoff of the tesla station
kind of crazy shut my car down it's really cold out
and uh here it is it is quite a bit like the tesla station only it's not a fast charger
this is a 32 amp 208 volt station and uh we're only here because my parents were looking at
different cars and of course i still can't get them to switch to electric
and looking at it now the charge handle locks in on the inside there saw some photos where
it was on the outside but this one's on the inside there's a real nice blue glow
to the outside of it when it's uh nighttime it doesn't seem that lit up during the day though
feel the drive
yeah this is the ford's tesla knockoff station
gosh remarkable i actually had people call me telling me that the lincoln dealership
got a supercharger but just one that's how confusing it is um to some people so yeah
we got uh been here about an hour got about 18 miles charged in the car um with no heat and a
warm battery pack peak i was getting about 20 miles charge uh per hour so let's hop in here
considerably less now that i turned the heat on with the heat on we got five shut the heat off
sixteen yeah charges up there at least the battery pack's getting full
19 the battery pack's warm at about like 80 degrees in the package so the pack
heater shouldn't be on i had to have my can bus plugged in and a few min uh
adapters with tm spy a few minutes ago uh at least no voltage drop that wasn't too bad
but uh put the heat on with range mode on
it drops down to
zero wow
one two up climbing back up it's because my heat's taking up a lot of the charging power
which doesn't make sense because with range mode i should only be at about two kilowatt
maybe the battery pack heater didn't kick back in shouldn't have though
supercharged earlier if i turn the heat on high we'll start losing range well that's it
kind of neat wanted to see one of these in person and now i have
okay well it does not retract it is a little too long
it's in there now it'd be nice if the tesla superchargers would pop in like that
instead of the cables falling down all the time hitting cars and putting it's a little salty
right now but there's a nice scratch across there because the supercharger wouldn't retain the cable
that got about 19 miles i think it was
not bad it's expensive 19 miles with my parents i'm in a car here i might
