The Emporia app is awesome. I don't have their EVSE, but I use the home energy monitoring Emporia Vue with an amp sensor on my Clipper Creek EVSE wire (among other household things).and now can track usage by minute/hour/day/month/year across all vehicles using that EVSE. Our 2 cars have used 2mWh since installation of the Emporia tracker earlier this year.

They did not, it was a cheap Leviton. Those electricians must not be EV experienced. I'm surprised they didn't use Qmerit or something.

Good to hear!

40A version is around 30mph while 50A is 37mph

I consistently get 34-35 mph on a 40 amp EVSE (50 amp circuit). The car charger accepts up to 48 amps. My EVSE brand is GRIZZL-E Classic.

can remove the original input plug-in cord and buy a longer plug-in cable

I don't know anything about the NeoCharge... Need to learn!

By connecting thru WIFI, can monitor on the app. my friend just bought one on ebay few days ago

We are looking forward to Autel's bi-directional systems. For now, this is an impressive solution.

Yes, excellent info. 120V charging is far less efficient than 240V.

can make schedule charging to charge at off-peak periods.

It looks like he has 6ga wiring, which is rated for 50 or 60 amps, depending on a few things. You're supposed to keep continuous load at or under 80%, so a 50a circuit is meant to handle 40a continuous. If it's a 40a breaker with 6ga wiring, I'd simply swap the breaker for a 50a, as the wiring and outlet are designed for 50a. If running 40a circuit, should only charge at 32a or less. Going half or less is silly over-conservatism.

@@michaelcummins5974 electro boom says different. He has a video on this issue where he de rates charging his Tesla down to 5 amps. His point being even if the wiring is rated for continuous 40 amps 40 amps will still generate more heat and wear than 5 amps and will impact its longevity and health over time. So he recommends derating down to the lowest amperage you actually need. Or are you arguing there is no extra heat and wear from carrying 5 amps, 20 amps or 40 amps? A simple touch test answers that. When I charge at 40 amps even with circuit and outlet rated for 50 amps the wiring gets noticeably hot

@@Jeddin sorry, been too busy to get back to this. Yes, there will be some relatively minor heat losses and very minor additional wear on the wiring and components of the charging system to use closer to rated capacity amperage. But it's very minor. One could calculate the heat losses by converting 220v 40a electricity into it's resistive heating potential, then measuring the actual heat losses from the wiring and coming up with a percentage that went to losses. It would be tiny. The wear on the wiring and devices, assuming using quality components, also nearly imperceivable. What you're not taking into account, is that low voltage/amperage slow charging is vastly less efficient than charging at higher speeds. There are much higher conversion losses at 110v vs 220v, for example. Also, the car will be using energy to condition the battery, run the diagnostic software, etc. Slow charging is pretty wasteful. Very high power charging like at a DC fast charger also has it's problems with accelerated battery degradation, so it's best to avoid overdoing that. If anyone knows if an expert who has done a deep study on the electrical efficiency of different charging rates, and comparing that with the effects on battery health, range, and longevity, that would be really interesting. It's hard to study though, as different battery management systems with quite a bit differently, as well as weather effects, etc. My somewhat educated guess would be that in colder weather, higher amperage 220v would be the clearly most efficient method in all cases. Warmer weather might be a little murkier based on battery management differences... But that's getting beyond my level of expertise. I'd also like to see more conclusive data about the differences between nightly topping back up to 80% vs going a few days at a time between charging sessions. I see conflicting info about if each charging session had the degradation effect, or if it's really more based on effective full drain/charge cycles. There doesn't seem to be consensus on that. If fewer but deeper charge sessions is in fact better for battery, that would be another reason to charge at higher rates, as very slow charging wouldn't replenish the car overnight.

They don't even look similar! What are you talking about?

It you own a non-Tesla, they are a great choice.

Never heard of the guy! :)

Quick update for you Dave - the folks at Autel never replied to my service inquiry regarding the missing box components. The unit is going back - poor customer service!

Tom recently posted review. Cable and connector didn't fair to well in cold weather.

@@johnpearson723 I saw it yesterday.

Thanks for the advice Tom. I will call my electrician tomorrow. I had no idea!

Turn it down to 30 amps or lower if you feel worried ,still a lot faster than your granny charger lol

It all depends on where your breaker box is located compared to the run you need to make to the outlet. I would say anywhere from $400 for an easy install and up. Sometimes, your breaker panel is maxed out and you need to get a piggy back panel installed. I know that some houses are maxed out in terms of the amps coming into the house and they may need to up the incoming power from the road to the house (expensive!!). My cost was $1,100 for my situation. My advice is call a few electricians for estimates and then go from there

250 but right next to panel.

I paid $250, but I had already purchased the NEMA 14-50 plug and 50amp Eaton breaker, so all I needed the electrician to do is run a short run a few feet away from the breaker box.

I sent them an email. The link worked for me this am before I released the video. Something has changed. I will let you know what they say!

@@outofspecdave1554 , Roger that.

@@mikecrawford6182 I spoke to the vendor. They told me that you can get the $100 off on Amazon only if you are a Prime member. If not a prime member, I was told you can still get the $100 off on Black Friday only. Sorry for the confusion. This was news to me! Hope this helps and thanks for watching

@@davidconner9027 thanks for checking. Not a Prime member but will check back on Black Friday. Keep up the great work.

@@davidconner9027, got it figured out. It was a self inflicted wound on my part. Link shows full price but there’s a checkbox that must be checked to get the $100 off. Once I did that I got the $459 price. Thanks again for your help and your videos. Take and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

so never. enjoy.
