Yup. We have a Bolt and a level 2 charger.
Plugs into a standard NEMA-50 outlet, full 259 mile charge in about 6-7 hours overnight with the charger pulling 32A max. The NEMA-50 is rated for about 42 amps continuous with a 20% safety factor. So that outlet can handle a higher output level 2 charger for, say, a Tesla…

The correct answer is that you don’t buy and install a hard wired charger, you have an industry standard NEMA-50 wall outlet ($12 at Lowe’s) wired in and you buy a charger with a plug. If charging connector interfaces change in ten years, or you move to a new place you just unplug your old charger and go from there.

That oil light was probably for oil pressure, not oil level.

Most vehicles will run a quart low for many hundreds of miles, but if you run under load like that with oil pressure low enough to turn the idiot light on, blowing up the motor is pretty likely.

Look, if you act like an idiot don’t complain when you’re treated like one.

Tickets still get issued for these offenses, it’s by mail. Which you would know if you read the article. Tickets - even parking tickets - are integrated with the state DMV. If you don’t pay, you get suspended. You park on the street while…

That’s definitely not the case in many places. The city tries to double the taxes (to $8,000/yr) on my elderly parents’ modest, kinda run-down rowhouse every 2 years and has regularly attempted that for more than a decade now. The house hasn’t changed one bit but the assessed value of the houses around it have doubled…

By Philly police. The PPA and the State Police both patrol Philly and ticket for this since the state police took over patrol of I-95, 676 and I-76.

You said “license plates and registration are optional under this new law”. You are wrong, and you get the derision you deserve by saying stupid shit like that. Wanna be…

So far, all of these underground vaults have had failed waterproofing or decades of high humidity. It’ll be a whole lot of rust, rot and mold in there, and whatever bits were plastic.

Wow, OK. You have no idea what you’re talking about and you refuse to listen to those who do. Got it.

Good luck with that, kiddo.

Hideous exterior styling. If they worked on it, they might be able to make the front and side views uglier but I’m not sure how.

Jesus H. Christ, have you ever gotten a ticket, or are you just a third rate troll?
Like every other ticket, you get a certain number of days to pay the ticket. After that, penalties are added and your registration is suspended and if you drive it - or even park it on the street in Philly - you run the very real risk…

I am not in any way for license plate covers, clear or not. Just so there is no misunderstanding.

Anyone stopped - or parked on the street - in Philly with counterfeit, missing or expired inspection or emissions windshield stickers (or registration, or insurance cards, or driving without a license, driving while suspended or revoked) is subject to having their car towed and impounded on the spot via the city Live…

No, ya twit. For the love of god, develop some reading comprehension and think a little, OK?

No, ya twit. You still get the tickets, they just come in the mail. And if you don’t pay your tickets (parking tickets, inspection tickets, all of those) your registration is suspended. And you can’t legally park on the street in Philly with a suspended registration. The Philly Parking Authority is absolutely ruthless…

As both a mechanic and a dealer service manager who has seen a lot of funky electronic/programming/driveability issues - and filed a ton of TSB, recall and warranty claims for said issues -

I can easily see how this could turn out to be a **massive** shitshow. For new car owners, for dealership service departments,…

How is Nashville not enforcing the law Pennsylvania’s fault?

It’s not OK to drive with these defects, PA has mandatory statewide annual safety inspection, and this stuff has to work at the time of inspection or you don’t pass and don’t get your windshield sticker.

Philly native here. In practice, that applies to plates with one screw holding it on, plates that have plastic covers over them (including clear covers),bike racks that partially obscure the numbers or state, plates that are in the back window, cars at night with all the tag lights burned out or broken, etc.

If the…

D’oh! Good point.
