I bought a Kill-a-watt meter yesterday. I was able to charge a nearly depleted battery (had 2% left on it) in 5 hours and 3 minutes according to MFM and the killawatt read 6.8 Kwh. I'm using 120 volts with the ESVE that came with the car.

This option is not there on a 2015 FFE

Assuming that I can do that, is there amy EVSE that will do what I want?

Is there any EVSE out there that uses two 120 cord that would plug to different circuits and give you a 240 volt charge? Can this be hacked somehow?

So I've been reading and I see people that have the PSI on their tires set between 35 and as high as 45. Any tips as to what the proper inflation should be? I'm in Southern California where the weather is relatively nice.

So i need to admit than more often than not, i forget to close the cap after i disconnect the charger. Does this happen to anyone else? Any tips to remember to close it? I wish the dash would show a warning that its been left open.

How do I turn on this enhanced or advanced view? I can't find the option.

If a trip is all EV, why does myfordmobile show MPG? For example, this morning commute of 17.5 miles was all EV, however it also shows 182.6 MPG. If i didnt use any gas, why show MPG? Please help me understand.

Is theree any gauge, option, display, myfordmobile, etc, that would display gallons used during a trip on a 2015 model?

ok, so then I got 42mpg just on ICE. Which is whats advertised. That was 0.19 gallons, which is 38 cents. Those same 8 freeway miles on EV power would have used ~33% of the battery, which costs me around 46 cents to recharge. Not accounting for ICE maintenance (oil changes and what not) as stated by Rexracer, its cheaper to use gas on the freeway than to use battery power.

Now that i've been driving the car for 1.5 days, i see that I can do 27-30 miles to the charge. My commute is 17.5 miles. 9 city and 8 on freeway. I can charge at work free of charge. Yesterday I drove all EV to work and used 55% of the battery Today I drove EV on the city and hybrid on the freeway and only used 30% of the battery. Even though I selected EV later, some of the freeway miles were still on EV for a total of 12.2 EV miles. The MPG, as reported by myfordmobile, was 91.5. I assume this reported MPG is for when the ICE is running? If the 91.5 MPG is just for when ICE is running, and based on my cost per kWh, it would seem that im better off driving EV on city and Hybrid on freeway (or above 45 mph) What do you think?

I'm on the regular tiering service with SCE, and I usually fall on Tier 3. I just got the FFET a few days ago so it will probably take me to tier 4. But assuming I stay on tier 3, I pay around 19 cents for kWh. Now bear with me on the math. Reading other posts I see that it takes around 7.2kWh to fully charge the battery. so 19 cents times 7.2kwh is $1.37. So it costs me $1.37 to fully charge the battery, which is good for 20 miles of electric drive. My local Mobile gas station is charging $2.39 per gallon. Assuming 40 mpg oh hybrid mode, half a gallon would last me those same 20 miles and would cost me $1.19. 18 cents cheaper. So am I looking at this right? Is it cheaper to just go on hybrid mode?
