This guy would be the best teacher in High School. So good.

This is way better than what I expected from a large mainstream car company, thank you.

by far the most informative video i've found thus far being a new ev owner. thank you!

Love the video. Level 2 and 3 are great! But don't discount level 1, yes they are really slow! But the average person leaves their car parked at home at least 10 hours, so even at only 3 or 4 miles. 30 to 40 miles is not only the cheapest way, but the easiest, without the need to hire an electrician or buying additional equipment. Good video

Thank you for this excellent presentation. I greatly appreciate the information you shared.

Best video on EV charging for beginner.

Well done! Thanks for the info!

great video that explains the differences and intriguing things about each kind of charger. i cannot wait for the day i can pay my “gas” bill with my energy bill at home.

This was helpful. Thanks.

Great content, great presentation.

Thanks for your thorough review of this EA home charger, went ahead and hit like and subscribe! Quick question, do you know if the app can help me record how much power consumption i use per month, that way i can submit a report to my landlord of how much I need to pay? Thanks in advance

Not for me. The most I will consider at the time is a hybrid since I don’t have a garage or carport.

Very informative

I wouldn't dismiss level 1 charging entirely if I were you since there usually are two types of low-powered outlets available in a home: level 1 using a NEMA 5-15 outlet, the typical outlet usually found throughout a house giving you up to 5 miles per hour of range, and also a higher-amperage, lesser-known NEMA 5-20 outlet, usually located in specific areas of a home such as a garage, which gives you up to 7 miles an hour of range as I get using my 2022 Kona Electric! In Ontario, Canada, off-peak hydro rates take place between 7 PM and 7 AM on weekdays, and from 7 PM on Fridays until 7 AM on Mondays for weekend charging. As such, a NEMA 5-15 outlet should provide you with up to 60 miles of range during a 12-hour period whereas a NEMA 5-20 outlet should give you up to 84 miles of range for the same time period; therefore, since very few people drive that many miles on a daily basis, it is indeed possible to get by for the most part with these level 1 EV chargers. Connect your level 1 charger as frequently as possible in order to maximize potential range and avoid the need to fully charge your EV from empty to full! Be stringent in applying the 80 percent rule at all times when it comes to charging your vehicle at home! Example: A maximum of 12 amps, or less, from a 15- amp, NEMA 5-15 outlet and a maximum of 16 amps, or less, from a NEMA 5-20 outlet can be safely used along with appropriate breakers and wiring! Unless these conditions are met, there is a distinct possibility of tripping a breaker, damaging your EV and/or setting your house on fire, or worse yet, risking severe personal injury, since home wiring wasn't originally intended for constant, high-powered EV charging! Always have your electrical system properly checked by a licensed electrician just to make sure and rest easy! However, level 2 EVSEs are far more preferable in winter since level 1 chargers simply do not provide enough power to both adequately charge and maintain your EV's required temperature range so as to ensure long life and performance. Learn as much as you can about the basics of owning and operating an EV, and you'll enjoy your new vehicle knowing that you're now basically immune to increasingly high gas prices and scheduled ICE maintenance costs!

this is a really good video i cannot lie.

So to confirm - European voltage already meets level 2?

This is a big advantage to having an EV. Not very many folks have a gas pump at home except maybe on a farm. You have to make time to stop and fill up and you burn some fuel getting to the station and back if you are in a rural area. With an EV you can recharge every time you go home and be ready for the next day.

Super clear!

good information sir

Good video. Thanks for sharing. Many people drive to work and park for the day. Perfect for a few hours of charge. Right.

I am looking into buying a ChargePoint Home Flex Electric Vehicle Charger. Are they good? It is a level 2 home charger, correct?

How much is it and how do you get one?

9:18 - Didn't know this lesser known fact about 48 Amp chargers. Gotta have the plug for indoors, also for safety reasons. Went with a 32 Amp charger (on a 40 Amp breaker).

Great video. I cleary need to do more research to have a better grasp, but your presentation was far from "nerdy."

I just got a Mach E, and it comes with its OEM home charger, should I keep that one or look for another charger like the Electrify America?

how's is your house electric bill .... is it a lot higher or little higher then before ? LV1 VS LV2

This is very helpful 👍👍😊

No "surge protection device" or a "Residual Differential Switch" or even a "circuit breaker"?

does charging generate much heat?

Good Video - I live the city and charge out my kitchen window :) - #EVCHARGINGINTHECITY

Nice

They should rename this video as “EV Charging Tips” 🙄

What do people who live in apartments that don’t have a garage. Run the cord to their apt??

how many watts does these chargers have? Were does this electric come from?

How much does the electric bill increase each month?

I would never ask this guy what time it is.

Who’s the manufacturers?

I have a question. So regular car has alternator to convert the movement of engine and convert it to electric power to restore/charge the battery inside the hood. So, why can't an electric car also recharge the BATTERIES while driving?

Does this cause your electric bill to increase a lot?

When you charge at home who pays the road taxes?????

But if you drive 30 miles a day the 120v will have you fully charged in the morning.

Kia EV6 48 AMP, Ford F-150 90 AMP home charging.

I am charging my plug in hybrid fusion with a 120V home outlet! I believe I’m paying way too much in electricity! Help!!! 😂😂😂

Does this raise your electricity bill much higher than paying for gas monthly? I want to get a EV but I’m not sure if this is going to cost more down that road

Seems so complicated.

ORRRRRR, You can go to the gas station and fill up in five minutes and be done for the week

Why can't these cars have their own "Generator" attached to a constant speed reduction gear system so the recharge themselves while they are moving???

what no Tesla unit? Hmm that is odd.

And then, you have Nissan leaf with CHAdeMO 😂

first you need a home. most do not and live in apartments

Will “they” ever ration EV charge station access or charge rate? Nah, the EV surge is good to go, right? A silly question posed by a climate change/EV denier, obviously. Ruh-roh! May 14, 2022, Texas; Texas power grid operator urges residents to conserve energy as plants go offline. Quote; "At this time, all generation resources available are operating. We’re asking Texans to conserve power when they can by setting their thermostats to 78-degrees or above and avoiding the usage of large appliances (such as dishwashers, washers and dryers) during peak hours between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. through the weekend.," wrote ERCOT Interim CEO Brad Jones. Are EVs considered large appliances? Just asking for a friend...

The average American can totally survive on a level 1 charger

(Homer Simpson voice) NERRRRRRRRRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will not work in California during peak heat wave warnings. We are not creating new electric power plants (Nuclear, Hydro and Oil) for the future. We are dismantling currently operating electric power plants.

Never ever trust charging at home unless you want to risk the EV self combustion and destroying your house as well.

Great content, poor presentation

As an electrician, backyard mechanic, and recent EV owner, this video is 99% useless but that's just my two pennies🤷

No No No No wall charge plugs or module. Clealing Install Pull rope down for plug cable to the EvCar charge port Unplug and release the plug and cable to ceiling. So Never ever have a 240v plug / charger on a wall Clealing install the plug / cable with spring / bungi cord with pull down rope or ribbon for a pull-down plug / cable.

What a waste of time. Way too long winded. I'm moving on but how to leave this negative comment.

EV's are only good for people that don't go anywhere. If you travel or commute to work, you are going to be stuck. I'd rather spend 5 minutes at a gas station than use half a charge looking for a charging station and spending who knows how many hours there. BTW damage to the environment isn't reduced, it's just shifted to somewhere you don't notice. Also, how much do you have to pay at a public charging station? If it's free I want my tax money back.

He says preheat the car as if the heat is gonna last for hours plus hours in the winter 🤣😂😂😒

Warning NJ residents, DON'T purchase the Tesla Chargers.!!! WAIT until they are added to the rebate program. (-$250 ) Brings the Total from $636.65 with Tax, down to $386.65 . I'm working on getting the Board of public utilities to add Tesla. If anyone out there has a connection to someone at Tesla, please ask them to inquire about getting their chargers on the list
