This was my first time using an Electrify America charger and wow was it so much better than EVGO. No wonder Toyota chose EVGO for free charging the first year. I have successfully used EVGO twice in the past two months because their chargers never work right. If I signed up for the EA pass I would have saved some money. The price per KWh would have been $.34 instead of $.56 if I pay the monthly fee. I don't need to so I did not do that. I was pleased to charge from 25% to 70% in 20 minutes. Leave your comments and questions below. Thank you for watching! #toyota #bz4x #electricvehicle #electrifyamerica #evgo

There have been lots of complaints about the reliability of EA’s chargers. However, I have always been able to charge every time I’ve been to one. I drive an Ioniq 5 and I always turn off the vehicle before plugging in. As you mentioned charging at home is ideal. It is much cheaper and easier than going to either a fast charging or gas station. Save fast charging for longer road trips.

I just subscribed to your channel. I own an AWD 2024 Ioniq 6 low trim and my husband owns an R1T. I enjoy watching EV owner content.

Hi Diane! Thanks you for watching and commenting. You both have great cars! This is my first electric vehicle and I’m enjoying it so far. The best part is driving past the gas stations and knowing I don’t have to stop and pay $3.59 a gallon. I am going to do a small road trip next week and I’ll post that video too!

@@tyhend88 Yes we are saving a ton on gas. I still road trip in my ICE Chevy Impala because I go to West Virginia 4X a year. Charging desert. We are driving the R1T to the Jersey Shore next month. I95 should be fine. Yes, looking forward to BZ4X content.

How's the bZ4x so far? One of my neighbors brought one (same color as yours) from out of province. My old man's thinking of the Subaru Solterra which is more readily available.

@tyhend88 День назад

I do like it! I haven’t bought gas since the first week of April and I’m thrilled about that. My electric bill hasn’t gone up since I can charge free at EVGO. I think it’ll go up slightly next year after the free charging ends. If you can get a good lease on the Solterra I say do it. But it’s kinda hard to justify financing and MSRP. Thanks for watching!

Is your BZ a fwd or awd?

@tyhend88 13 дней назад

FWD

The charging cost not cheap is roughly equal to gas price

@tyhend88 12 дней назад

For sure. If you don’t sign up for a monthly subscription for EA or another company then it’s a bit pricy to fast charge.

@mach1nefan 11 дней назад

Bear in mind, though, most people charge 99% of the time at home where electricity is way cheaper than gas

@achaz_ 10 дней назад

@@mach1nefan Add to these savings, no brakes, no oil change, no potential engine or transmission failure, and boom, you're saving so much

High tolerance for boredom you have! 😂

@tyhend88 4 дня назад

Haha I do public charging maybe twice a month. I do work remotely a couple days a week so I’ll plug in and work at a coffee shop while it’s charging. Once the charging isn’t free anymore, I won’t fast charge unless I need to on a trip. Thanks for watching!

@be236 11 дней назад

So this EV doesnt show the charging speed in its driver's console? So if you're at a L2 charger which may not have a display, there's no way to know your charging speed?

@tyhend88 11 дней назад

That is correct. Nowhere does it show the speed of charging or consumption. The new Chevy Blazer and Equinox both show the power you are using and receiving in KWs. I hope Toyota shows data down the road.

What if you have no phone? They should have a card system. Pay as you go charge card $10, $20, $30 card etc. Billion dollar idea here.

@markfitzpatrick6692 День назад

They do there is a credit card reader on the machine. They don’t have a rfid card

Very long charging

Why would you buy a car with a NIMH battery? (My mistake. They have LION)

Please show your source for the NIMH battery claim. Thanks for watching!

@@tyhend88 Oh gosh, you're right. It is Lithium Ion. Ancient in terms of technology, but good enough.

@@tonystorcke thank you for clearing the record :) I do know the hybrids have a NIMH battery.

$0.56/kWh??? Good luck winning over ICE owners at that price. What is that like $5 a gallon equivalent?

@tyhend88 5 дней назад

Do you need to fast charge every time you drive though? I charged at home last night. Put in 39kWhs at $.10kWh so that’s less than $4. Much better than and ICE vehicle. Yes traveling can be expensive but EA does have a $7/month subscription that knocks the charging price to $.34kWh. Check out my latest video I did of a small road trip. Thanks for watching!

@dennissteul5445 5 дней назад

@@tyhend88 Agree with you, but we/I are talking about the masses. I am an EV owner and all my ICE friends are always asking questions about EVs, (which is good)! But when I am asked about costs on a road-trip, for non-Teslas, availability, reliability, and cost of charging, they become somewhat disappointed. Yes home charging is great. I play $0.165/kWh. I am jealous of your $0.10/kWH.
