The EVIQO, Level 2 charger has 2 models. One is hardwired and produces 11.5kW/ 48amps, and the other is a plug-in and only produces 9.6kW/40amps. Hardwired version is $30 more. Is this a safety thing or a hardware limitation? I've seen other makes do a similar thing. I'm wondering if I bought the plug-in, could I later make it hardwired by cutting off the plug?
My first encounter with Ornette Coleman came with his collaboration with Pat Metheny on "Song X". I read about his concept of harmolodics, but didn't really grasp it. I just heard a recording of Don Cherry explaining it and it clicked. His description was basically: 2 players learn a melodic phrase and play it together, then 1 player creates a harmony with the phrase and that becomes the new melody. Then the 2nd player creates a harmony with the new melody arms that becomes the 3rd melody. And this could go on for a while. I'm going back to listen to "Shape of Jazz to Come" and "Song X" again to find this concept. Did I get the concept right?
Other than a phone app, finer amp control, and other data, is there a real advantage to installing a small 240V charger station over a simple 240V outlet? (contemplating the Emporia Pro charger)
How is Toyota for delivering software updates? Do they support their EVs for many years? Can they usually be done at home over wifi?
How is Hyundai for releasing software updates, esp. EVs? Do they keep up for many years? Can updates be done at home over wifi? (Side: Is the ICCU fix by software or hardware?)
