I've been using a self propel Ego mower on about 1/2 acre of grass for
the last 4 years. They have just come out with a riding version that
uses their 56v ARC Lithium batteries, but it's pricy.
I've been very happy with all of the chargers/batteries/lawn tools from
EGO with the EXCEPTION of
My guess is that it would work fine at 120 volt charging (but your
charging speed may be slow, as alot of the power would be going to
condition the battery.)
Generally, the only thing in the car that sees the 120v is the battery
charger (taking the 120 volts up to the 3-4 hundred volts the

I suspect you would have to open up the EVSE (or cut the wire to the
J1772 plug) to get access to the pilot line, but the advantage is that
it uses the EVSE's built in contactor to switch the high current power,
so you don't need to buy an expensive big relay to switch power on/off
to the EVSE
I do not know of any consumer EVSE's that require you to push a "start"
button before they begin charging (perhaps somebody else does?)
If you are looking to make a L1 (120 volt at 8-12 amps) EVSE have this
behavior (and have a bit of electrical wiring ability) you can use a

The advantage of LIDAR is an accurate distance measurement (to every
point in the sensors view).
Radar as a technology can give distance, but typically the units used in
vehicles give "relative speed" instead, and are used to detect the
distance to other moving vehicles.
Although they can
I suspect that Ford is subsidizing the truck (i.e. selling below cost) a
bit to get into the market and is counting on the price of their battery
dropping over time to make it profitable.
