Really Nice Job Zane. I know this was about GMC Ultium platform trucks only - but is might be good to note that EV cars charge much faster per mile (5 miles/hour on 110 and 30/hr on the Nema 14-50) as context, for those still new to EV charging in general...
Thank you. You are totally correct- most EV's will charge much faster than the 24-module Ultium Batteries that are found in the HUMMER EV. Smaller batteries = quicker charging and greater MoRPH added. The HUMMER and future Silverado EV / Sierra EV carry absolutely beast size batteries that are not representative of most EVs.
6:05 In Europe we have 3 phase power. In my country we have 230V 16A 3 phase plug in every house. You can push 11kW (but better to limit to 9kW) at any home. And it uses 5x2.5mm cable, which is fairly thin. So it is mobile and it can push 11kW.
@@vladimus9749 Google 'Yugoslav 3 phase'. The issue is that Neutral can overload if there is no balanced 3 phase load. Designed for 3 phase motors, and neutral was most auxialry for control relay. Irony is, it is mostly used for electric cookers, as they can be up to 9kW. There was Perilex used in Scandinavia. And Swiss have their system, where 3 phase socket can be used for both 3 phase and single phase devices.
Porsche car charger, 22 kilowatts, home charger. Is there a way to use it to charge the Homer or a connecting device between them, or are there technical obstacles?
I just ordered a Hummer EV, but I have a tesla stage 2 charger at home. Any recommendation as to where I can purchase an adapter for my Hummer to charge with my tesla home charger?
Nice car and nice video. I will be installing a connector for this car soon. I'm curious what connector my customer chose for it. But most garages do not come with a NEMA 14-50 preinstalled. I know, I'm an electrician.
L2 at home. Using Ultium that came with the Hummer, I get 12 mph gain, which is plenty, enough that we even time when we charge to avoid California heavy TOU (Time of use) charges. So 9 pm, typically we're done charging between 12 am and 3 am depending on how wild we went driving it around the day before. Stably 12 mph/hour. I heard you have to change a setting ahead of time to use an L3 charger, is that true?
Very complicated. I bet on 5 years this will be laughed at same as so many fast changes in computer and phones. I think Il wait a few years. Pretty vehicles
from the thumbnail i thought u was kyle from outofspecreviews haha ill take a cybertruck jk, ill actually keep riding my late grandfathers bike cuz im poor
I recently read that study show that fast charging does not hurt the batteries. There's also the thing when you charge over 80%, it's going to slow down! The closer you get to 100%, the slower it will charge.
I got a kick out of that up to 25 cents a kilowatt, or more. I could say that the price you pay for gasoline is up to 25 cents a gallon, or more, and that is completely factual. I've seen charge America stations that charge 48 cents a kilowatt hour, whereas the Tesla chargers a couple of rolls over, are only charging 43 cents a kilowatt hour. I have never seen a charging charger that will only charge you 25 cents a kilowatt to charge your car.
That's what I was thinking at first, but honestly, you will most likely waste less time charging an EV than you will waste going and fueling a gas car at a gas station. Almost always I have to go out of my way to fill up the tank. And if I stop at best priced gas station, will wait in line as well. An EV would be charged every day, overnight while you are in the comfort of your home. (excluding road trips) . Just my two cents, but who am I to comment? I don't own an EV (yet).
@@Nicks_Hobbies_ChannelAgreed, all depends on your lifestyle. If you will charge at home 99% of the time, you're saving significant time and money compared to going to gas stations in a traditional car. If you regularly need to go to fast chargers, EVs aren't ready for you yet as you'd end up wasting way more time (and likely money since fast charging is very expensive). It requires a bit of planning and thought which is typical for early-adopting any new technology.
The entire concept is based around most you're charging done at home. Despite how slow charging at home is, you will actually spend less active time charging! You pull up to a gas station pump, you get out of the vehicle, you search for your credit or debit card, (getting it out of your wallet is not an instant process) You put the card in the machine, you follow the prompts. You wait for the machine to initialize. You connect the hose to the car and dispense the fuel. When you are done, you remove the hose and reconnect it to the pump, and wait for the machine to finish your sale, and offer you a receipt. Vs... You arrive at your place of residence, grab the cord, connect it to your vehicle, walk away. When done, you disconnect, and return the cord to the cord holder. The big difference is, despite taking several hours to charge, the average person will come home, clean themselves, feed themselves, go to bed. (That alone takes several hours to do.) The seven and a half miles per hour of charge seems slow to me, (that number should be over 10) If you are home for 10 hours, you have just added 75 mi of driving capability. The average person will not come home with a completely dead battery. I know people that actually use the 110 volt charger, they are getting 4.5 mi for every hour it's plugged in, and it is more power than they need to charge the car for their daily usage!
