I recently was on a road trip and came across numerous faulted Freewire DC fast chargers. Is anyone maintaining or repairing these Freewire chargers anymore?

Surprisingly I found one that was still functional, but it was over 100F when I attempted to use it. After several minutes of ~150kW output it suddenly dropped and the charger started to emit a strong "hot electrical" smell during operation. I immediately stopped the session but there was nobody I could report the issue to because the charging network operator had gone out of business.

Washer is 2 years old and has already required 2 control board replacements due to pressure switch failures.

Now it’s making a very loud howling sound during the spin cycle and is getting worse with use. Is this a sign the gearbox/transmission is failing?

I’m extremely disappointed in the quality of this washer. Ridiculous that it has required multiple repairs in 2 years as a single person household.

Any other R1 owners experiencing issues charging on ABB A400s deployed by Walmart? It seems like these chargers are very finicky about certain EVs like Rivians and newer GM EVs. I have reported these issues to the Walmart EV charging team multiple times but they never give any feedback other than "we will escalate your concern."

Oddly, I have no handshake issues charging on the older ABB Terra 184s.

Now that the Walmart ABB A400 chargers have been installed for a few months I’m noticing that they are dropping like flies.

If Walmart doesn’t fix these issues they are going to quickly develop a reputation like Electrify America in the early years.

I currently have a Maytag/Whirlpool vertical modular washer and it has been nothing but problems. I am ready to cut my losses and move to something more energy efficient and reliable.

I have other Miele appliances and am a huge fan of their quality. Does anyone in the US have a Miele W1? If so, how do you like it compared to American-size washers?

The other option that's interesting to me is to go to a Samsung Bespoke combo washer/dryer, after getting very positive reviews from Ben of Ben's appliance and junk (YouTube channel). I know Samsung gets a bad reputation but I can't believe it's any worse than modern Whirlpool appliances. The space savings would be very appreciated, as my laundry

Walmart's ABB A400 deployment does not appear to be going well. I'm familiar with 2 new A400 sites with major, ongoing issues: faulted/offline chargers. Walmart EV support is aware of these problems and they are now saying it's an issue with the ABB hardware and they are "evaluating options."

Curious if they will be switching to 100% Alpitronic going forward

Stopped by a new Walmart EV charging site and it appears they are having major issues with these new A400 chargers. Only 2/8 connectors were online, the rest were faulted out. None of the NACS connectors were working.

I called into Walmart EV support to report it and they were aware, but couldn't do anything remotely. They are having lots of problems with these ABB chargers.

I'm noticing that most Efacec DC fast chargers are broken across the US. Is this vendor no longer supplying parts or service in the US?

I have tried several ABB A400s newly deployed by Walmart and could not charge on any of them due to a "vehicle communication error." The session will start and I'll hear contactors in the charger clicking, but then it will fault out with that "vehicle communication error."

Has anyone else had this issue with new ABB A400s? Interestingly, I was able to charge on an old ABB Terra 184 without issue.

I'm trying to help a local business troubleshoot issues with their old Tritium RT50 DC fast charger. It keeps throwing "error 62" during the CCS handshake and will not start a session.

They keep getting told it's an obsolete DC fast charger and needs to be replaced with new hardware, which is not in budget.

Is there anything simple we can try to fix the charger or will it require replacement?

I have a Maytag Commercial top load washer (MVWP586GW) that keeps getting stuck in the drain cycle and runs the drain pump continuously (for hours) until I unplug it. The washer lid is not locked and the control panel does not respond to inputs while the drain pump is running.

It's only about 1.5 years old.

I have been on Stelara for years and was doing pretty well on it after failing corticosteroids.

The patents on Stelara have expired in the US and most insurance companies are dropping coverage fast, in favor of biosimilars.

As of 2026 my insurance and their PBM (Prime Therapeutics) have decided to stop covering Stelara. Prime Therapeutics directed me to one of the following biosimilars: Selarsdi, Steqeyma, or Yesintek.

For the past 2 weeks I have been having significant issues with refilling any Stelara biosimilar. I have been on the phone with my specialty pharmacy, insurance company, PBM, and providers clinic for many hours and we just aren't getting anywhere. I have proba

I'd like to see a feature added to filter lifetime charges by AC vs DC total kWh.

Filtering by Supercharging is not a complete solution because I have done a lot of DC fast charging on CCS chargers.

This is a long shot, but a local business has a Tritium RT50 DC fast charger that works fine and outputs full power on CHAdeMO but continuously throws “error 62” when using the CCS connector. We have tried several different EVs and get the same result.

I’m trying to help them get it repaired but they are having issues finding a local technician to work on it. They cannot afford to replace the charger and our area desperately needs DCFCs, so it would be ideal to get it working. Curious if anyone here has ideas or suggestions.

I'm looking at getting a 26kW natural gas generator installed, which will use either 290 CFH (Kohler) or 333 CFH (Generac) at full load. The natural gas company has been out and confirmed my meter & exterior regulator would be good for up to 600 CFH.

I have a new house, with a 2 psi 1/2" gas line (25 foot, 3 bends) coming into the house. Specifically, it is Counterstrike FGP-CS-500. It connects to another regulator and interior manifold that goes to all my other gas appliances.

Generac dealer wants to run a dedicated 3/4" gas line directly from the meter, but the other 2 Kohler dealers want to tap off the existing 2 psi 1/2" supply line in my basement to avoid trenching or running a gas li
