@evdude when you removed the a pillar to go under the airbags, did you have to disconnect the battery to reduce risk of airbag deployment?

Does this charger work on a Nissan Leaf? i just purchased the A2Z CS-1 to CHAdeMo. Still not as many CS-1 as Tesla destimation chargers. perhaps I should have purchased the tesla adapter. its 1/8 the price. thank you

Thanks for reviewing and posting about the bz4x, this and earlier videos. I'm coming from a 2019 Tesla model 3 and considering getting a 2023 bz4x limited with about 38k miles. I dont really need the fast charging and I've even lived with a Ford Focus EV with 50miles range as a daily driver. Totally I've been on EVs for about 9 years now. So I think I have the right expectation for the bz4x. Any gotchas I should watch out for 2023 bz4x limited with 38k miles, for about USD26k? One of our reasons for the switch is the space (toddler and infant) and how bad the ride quality is in the Tesla M3. Other option is Tesla MY, which I think would be best to go with a brand new rather than a used. Then I'm not really comparing the same $$ value. Anyways - thanks!!

Thanks for the decent explanation. Is it safe to connect both charger probes to the battery itself? Shouldn’t the positive probe be connected to the battery and the negative be connected to the body (ground)? I suppose it would mitigate any risks to the electronics and the charger controller within the computer.

We own two Ioniq 5s, and we live in an apartment. I get free charging at work as an employee perk. So I V2L to recharge my spouses EV overnight in the parking lot. I wish there was a V2V adapter that essentially combined thr V2L and a level 1 EVSE together into one seamless plug. It would mean less entry points for water.

I think the 12 volt battery charges when the car is in EV ready mode. If you are worried about the level of charge in the 12 volt battery can't you just turn on the car in EV ready mode and leave it parked. I think it will charge the 12 volt battery and turn itself off after one hour.

You definitely can. The DC-DC converter charges the 12V in Ready Mode, but if you dont want to leave your car turned on, a smart charger is the way to go.

transfer switch in Canada is a scam! There is no need to isolate the panel neutral from the generator neutral, as long as the 2 grid hots are disconnected at the panel, the panel will NOT feed anything into the grid through the neutral since the circuit is NOT complete! a breaker interlock must be legal in Canada, since it is completely legal in the USA and the USA NEC standard is superior to the Canada EC standard, but I don't understand the lame reason the Canadian authorities have for not allowing breaker interlocks: they say IF the panel cover is removed THEN the breaker interlock becomes useless, but the whole idea of breaker interlock is to prevent accidental back feeding! but if someone intentionally back feeding the grid CAN do it ANYWAYS! all they need is an OUTLET! someone opening the panel cover better know what they are doing so cannot back feed the grid accidently. Canadians codes are outdated and ridiculous! must be changed to match the USA NEC standard.

There is no “negative” inside the fuse box. One side always has power (the feed side) and the other gets its power through the fuse. The negative is the body/chassis of the vehicle.
