We talk about the CCS to Tesla adapter you can now get for your Tesla charger, but Tesla also sells a CHAdeMO to Tesla adapter, too. We don't recommend that adapter as CHAdeMO charging stations are much more difficult to find than CCS, unless you need to be able to charge at non-Tesla fast charging stations and your car doesn't support the CCS adapter. Does your Tesla support the CCS adapter? Tesla's website can answer that --> shop.tesla.com/product/ccs-combo-1-adapter?web=true

@dylanwhite6539 10 месяцев назад

It is worth noting that, likely not for reasons directly related to the connector, the CHAdeMO stations have better up time than ccs booths. There’s one dispenser near my work that has had the ccs port out of service for months but the CHAdeMO continues to work fine for me. (Kia soul EV) it’s clearly low priority since there 7 other dispensers with ccs on site.

Funny you consider level 1 charging a last resort, when it's probably the most commonly used. Most folks charge at home overnight. 5 miles / hour of range doesn't sound like much, but that's 50 or 60 miles overnight, plenty for most people's day-to-day driving. It's how I do all my charging when I'm not on road trips. Level 2 in the home is overkill, in my opinion, especially since it's so expensive to install (vs the standard wall outlet you probably already have in your garage or carport). Level 2 is more suited to destination chargers.

@vulpixelful Месяц назад

Yeah I also only use level 1 at home. But hey, they have sponsors to please 😂

@KiRiTO72987 2 часа назад

I mean if I could get level two charging installed I would but yeah for most people level one over night is just fine, for me especially (I don't have an EV yet but i want one) my work literally let you charge for free at work and my commute is about 6 miles one way so I'd have effectively free charging unless taking a long trip

@0dbm Месяц назад

Thank you so much , excellent video

@cs_fl5048 9 дней назад

BTW as an update. Tesla IS rolling out chargers with built in J plug adapters. It was a requirement for getting the government grant money. There aren't many around but they are slowly going to be building more and when they have to replace a current supercharger they will be using the newer dual charger super charger.

@rand49er 9 месяцев назад

I saw data posted on a forum devoted to GM news that using DC fast charging does not degrade batteries. The graph showed the degradation from Level 2 charging vs DC fast charging to be roughly the same. This is good news for consumers who rely on DC fast charging.

@EVnStevenApp 26 дней назад

Once upon a time, there was a trustworthy and proud new EV owner named Jake and a friendly property manager named Susan. Jake wanted to trickle-charge his EV using the common area electrical outlet next to his parking stall. However, Susan didn't have the budget to pay for the cost of installing a metered charging station. Wanting to help Jake, Susan suggested they install EVnSteven. Thanks to this one simple app, they both lived happily ever after 💚💚

@cs_fl5048 9 дней назад

My electrician, whom I usually use for my houses, put in my NEMA 14-50 relatively cheaply. However, the EVSE was expensive. You can get long 14-50 extension cables to run from your clothes dryer outlet if you can reach it and run that out to an EVSE to charge the car. You can also get extension cables for J1772 connectors if you need extra length. I do have a spare EVSE with both J plugs and 14-50 extension cords. to take on road trips.. Sometimes, it's hard to back in.

@KiRiTO72987 2 часа назад

They even sell switching panels that will auto shut off power to the EV charging while your dryer is running. Too so you can have both plugged into the same outlet without risk of tripping your breaker

@ALMX5DP Год назад

I like using the colloquial term “charger” instead of EVSC. I get the technical differences but have never really found an official definition for charger and these wall devices do provide electrical current (charge) so I feel it fits even if it has to go through an AC/DC converter in the car to make it to the battery.

@EVPulse Год назад

TBH, we all call them chargers, too. Regularly. It's worth pointing out the difference in a series like this, but it's uncommon to use EVSE in normal conversation.

@D0li0 Год назад

True enough. I'm guessing "EVSC" was a typo. The "charger" is definitely the piece of hardware which has some level of intelligence in it to ensure it provides the proper current and amperage to the battery. But you would need to cite shop manuals to find it called that. Or go to an RC hobby shop where you will find all sorts of very smart chargers for batteries. I suppose it gets a little fuzzy if we try to cite cellphones or laptops, since we call their "charger" the USB cable or the power supply with specific plug for your model of laptop. But in reality the voltage and current regulation is also onboard these devices, so those chargers are really (mostly) just dumb power supplies as well. For L1 & L2 that hardware is onboard and likely to communicate with a BMS (Battery Management System) or fill that roll itself, of monitoring temp, cell or string voltages, amperage in or out of the battery. The charger also communicates with the EVSE and essentially asks it how much current is available, and to ask it to turn on or off and give it access to the AC input. For DCFC and SuperChargers, the charger part is on the curb, because it's too large and expensive to be on each vehicle. And also because there was no common pluggable AC multi hundreds of kW (house sized) interfaces... The car still communicates with the charger on the curb to ask it for the specific voltages and current it requires each moment to moment. But the high power pins go directly to the battery pack I'm the car. Anyway, yes, we generally gloss over all this and just call the charge cable, EVSE, USB cable, etc "the charger" and that's close enough for EVeryday conversation.

@mmbodnar 10 месяцев назад

If you are heading out on a big roadtrip I would also recommend bringing a NEMA 6-50 to NEMA 14-50 adapter so that you can borrow any plug used in a welding shop or farmers' repair shop... If you want to be extra prepares you can bring a EV-specific TT-30 RV plug to NEMA 14-50 adapter and charge at any campground at ~3.6 kW....

@EVPulse 10 месяцев назад

Solid tip.

@cs_fl5048 9 дней назад

I go to the 350 stations because my Ioniq can take 235, which means it would be slower at a 150.

@donaldwright2426 2 месяца назад

What about Level 1 DC charging ? As per SAE J1772, DC level 1 can go as high as 80A using standard pins 1 and 2 (48kW). This is often overseen or unkown.

@kaic9972 Год назад

Hello, I don't agree with your video labelling level 1 charging as "for emergencies". Level 1 can recharge at 3-5 miles per hour, so, when an EV is allowed to charge overnight, can replenish a typical commute to work and back with time to spare.

@ALMX5DP Год назад

Sure, but that doesn’t leave much room for any other trips that may come up. Google says average commute is around 41 miles round trip. On the low end, even 12 hours of charging won’t recoup that.

@EVPulse Год назад

Depends on driving needs and battery size. A Hummer EV, as an extreme example, isn’t going anywhere on an overnight level 1 charge.

@seanpeacock5595 Год назад

@@ALMX5DP couldn’t find that number anywhere on Google unless you’re rural. Average is 24 minutes and 5 to 20 miles

@ALMX5DP Год назад

@@seanpeacock5595 sounds similar to what I saw, but the figures using those numbers from what I remember were for one way, not round trip. I think Zippia was one source I saw for the 41z

@jays1601 Год назад

Not in a cold climate! In cold weather (Michigan) an EV will need to condition "Heat" the battery before it can accept any charge (especially if you have to park outside) on level 1 this can take 100% of the electricity intended to charge your battery just to heat it up. Resulting in several KWH used and 0 actual charge. This hits people who live in apartments or don't own their own homes esp. hard and that wasted electricity adds up.

@EyobFitwi Год назад

Wait, so for countries outside US that have 220-240v outlets, do they need any additional installation to use level 2 chargers? Or is installing the EVSE charger mandatory regardless?

@EVPulse Год назад

A regular wall socket would likely work fine for most people. Some cars that can AC charge at higher speeds may still need the EVSE for those speeds.

@EyobFitwi Год назад

@@EVPulse Thanks.

That cordset (with the Ford logo on it) is produced by Webasto, not by Stellantis.

@dylanwhite6539 10 месяцев назад

Potential EV buyers: consider the nema 6-20 port rather than a 14-50. While yes, it is less than half the speed of 14-50, it’s over 2.5 times the speed of L1 5-15 120v charging. And SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to install as is uses the extremely common 12/2 romex which many 120v circuits in your home already use. In terms of range: Teslas own data supports 100-120 miles per 8 hour night. If you don’t get time of use incentives this is a highly viable option. Boost it to 10 hours and that’s 150 miles of range added. Considering the average miles driven a day is 40, the pros far outweigh the cons for many people

@alialjaeidi1350 7 месяцев назад

I have a question, dose the level 1 charger damage the battery for the long term use? Can anyone please answer!

@EVPulse 7 месяцев назад

It shouldn't. Charging slowly is perfectly fine for a battery.

@cs_fl5048 9 дней назад

The downside of cutting the cord is cost... That set up is expensive. at least it is now.

@ALMX5DP Год назад

I thought Tesla was going to open up Superchargers to other vehicles here “soon”? Still no idea when that might be then? I feel like it’s only a matter of time as non-Tesla EV’s ramp up to take more and more of the market share.

@EVPulse Год назад

It's being piloted in Europe now, which is easier to do because of a required CCS2 connector on Tesla cars. We've seen spy shots basically of Tesla Superchargers in NA preparing for a transition, but details are still scant at this moment. It's bound to happen, we think. There's lots of infrastructure money Tesla would leave on the table by not doing so.

@That-Guy_ Год назад

You probably already heard but Ford, GM, Rivian and several charging companies are switching to the NACS (Tesla charging plug) starting next year. Tesla is making 12,000 chargers available to Ford and GM.
