Precharging isn't as simple as it first appears. Here are a few things off the
top of my head:
Precharge circuits *must* used DC-rated parts with an appropriate voltage
rating. An AC-rated switch, relay, or fuse will fail *on*! If the switch or
relay fails "on", the precharge resistor can overh
Then you might want to check under your brand new Tesla Model 3, if you live
in Florida.
Tesla is reportedly storing unsold new Model 3s in long-grass fields, which
can invite spiders, snakes, rats, and other critters to take up residence in
the cars.

Remember the days of cheap Nissan Leaves when the 2011 - 2014 models fell
off lease? Cheap used EVs a're back, but this time with much more usable
range: some used Chevrolet Bolts are now selling for under US$10k.
There's also a used EV credit. Depending on your income, that could drop the

and the rated carbon emissions.
However, EVs get a total pass - registra

>>> Comments on your advice <<<
All good advice with a couple of minor oversights:
1) Manzanita chargers have a substantial output capacitance. (I use one
to charge our race vehicle(s) and I have a pre-charge circuit to
gracefully charge the capacitors on the battery side.)
2) The Manzanita c
I was wondering if most EV's keep chargers connected to pack full time.
I want mine disconnected unless charging so that there is no pack
voltage outside the battery box (charger is in the cab).
I have the DC fast charge contactors from a Tesla Model 3. They seem to
be custom made by Gigavac.
