Booked a ID.4 Pro but got upgraded to the 1st Edition and now refreshing my email 100 times a day.

Welcome to the forum @terasain! Is the ID.4 going to be your first EV? Also what color are you planning on getting?

 

[terasain]

Its my First EV. I initially wanted to hedge and get a plug in hybrid and then decided its not worth it. I planning on getting a blue. Though i would love the moonstone gray. I don think its available in the 1st.

Nice! Success on the First Edition. Very cool!

Interesting to see that there are very few Tesla owners actually.

 

[terasain]

Thanks for the heads up. I just filled it out.

Congrats @terasain!
Have you started looking into charging options to have at home? What's the charging network like around you?

 

[terasain]

I am planning to install a Level 2 @ my home. I am in central jersey and the public charging is not great. I do have a rutgers university charging station and an electify america station nearby

I don't know if you've looked at specific chargers but I hear good things about JuiceBox and Bosch.

 

[terasain]

Thanks, I was looking at chargepoint or juicebox. Thinking if I should install it this year since they have a federal incentive that covers 30% of the total cost of charger and installation. I read somewhere the incentive is expiring next year.

I read somewhere the incentive is expiring next year.

Current expiration is 12/31/2020, whereby the charger needs to be in service. (See IRS Form 8911)

Does it mean I just need to install or must have a car as well?

A vehicle is not required. It just needs to be installed and turned on (honor system).

Isn’t that for businesses? Is there one for personal?

The form has separate sections for business and personal.

Welcome to the forum - I also live in Central Jersey - can you please tell me where the nearest electify america station is ? Also is the one in Rutgers Electrify America one too ? Thanks

 

[terasain]

90 NJ-18, East Brunswick, NJ 08816 is the EA one. The rutgers one is not a fast charger

 

[spaceid]

I am also in Central Jersey. Target in Bridgewater has EA, but they are under construction at the moment. For most of the Rutgers chargers you need to have a Rutgers parking permit.

 

[terasain]

Do you guys have contacts for good electricians who can install the charger for me.
