It's very important to understand the capacity of the electrical installation in your house or even the grid transformer providing service to your community. Depending on the limits of your distribution panel and breakers and wire size the 80 amp charge box may not work. If modifications are necessary to your electrical panel it could also get very expensive. In some cases (Thailand) the grid providor (PEA) in many cases has a program that allows for a second TOU Time Of Use meter for the express purpose of charging an EV ONLY. This allows for off peak rates just for your EV. It's about 7.5 cents per kwh from 10pm to 9am. Very good value.

Surprised Tom didn't bring up the Porsche Wall Charger Connect. It's also an 80 amp charger and unlike the Porsche car itself, it is within the same price point as the Ford charger and Lucid charger.

That was just in Vancouver in January. Beautiful city. But you guys need to turn the heater on in January for those of us who come from hot countries 🙂

@raydoolan2236 5 месяцев назад

80 amp chargers need a 100 amp circuit. Many homes only have 100 amp service.

At home you do not need fast charging in 95% of the time as you plug it for the night like your cell phone. Buy a 30A supported power plug, share it with your dryer via special adapters if you want, it will be more than enough. My daughter got charge over 110V 15A all night for about 85KM or 50 miles. Enough to go to the next public chargers or her work.

You might want to do a video on Gogoro, a Taiwanese scooter company, They have battery swapping which is fast, efficient and safe. You can also take the battery into the apartment/ home to charge them. They are expanding into India and soon also in S.America.

@newdawnalex 5 месяцев назад

Ironically enough, that is exactly what I did. I called around until I could find a place where I could charge my car at and I rented from them.

@flattire707 5 месяцев назад

Battery swap is a horrible idea. Almost as bad a hydrogen. Love my Tesla wall connector.

@EforElectric 5 месяцев назад

It is still in the best of interest of landlords to get the best tenants and the best tenants usually are the ones who can afford the expensive electric cars. Also I own properties in three different states so as you can see your original assumption was uneducatedly stupid

Seems like a lot of EV drivers who don't need to charge assume that they can just park in dedicated EV parking spots simply because they drive an EV. Which is dumb.

You have countries like here in The Netherlands, where municipalities rule all aspects like it’s north korea, and they are against people parking on their own property, if it’s not in the planning/“steals” a parking spot on the street ( it’s now in the way of your would be driveway) I intend to move houses just have one of the few options with a spot to park. Let me tell you that charger selection is the least of my worries here

@KaiPonte 5 месяцев назад

Wait - I thought you lived in Thailand, Alex. Probably the majority of people don't have charging at home as they live in an apartment or don't have driveway parking. We just did our first minor road trip in California in our Mach-e. I don't have the NACS adapter yet. It was painful trying to find a working DC fast charger. I feel the pain. Going to Vegas from LA next week. That will be easier.

Itz good, itz nice. California law allows an EV charger to be installed “within an owner's unit or in a designated parking space” or “at a parking space allocated for the lessee.”

@EforElectric 5 месяцев назад

Yes, but the landlords are not required to pay for it and tenants don't want to pay thousands of dollars for something that they will only be using for a short period of time and won't be able to take with them

The 2022 study by Emissions Analytics, an independent global emissions testing and research group, found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants ...

Swapping the battery in cold weather might have issues with frozen grit, consisting of some road mock/mud mixed with frozen ice. The swapping station personnel will ask the EV owner to visit car washing place before being accepted for service.
