Over the last couple of years we’ve tried three different ways to charge our EVs that all worked well. I had a 2014 i3 and charged it on a 110 outlet and it worked out well. We just had to make sure there wasn’t a big load on that circuit or it would trip the breaker. Next, my wife charges her 2018 i3 by sharing the dryer plug using a Split Volt. That’s worked well for two years. When I bought a 2022 Chevy Bolt, we had a 50 amp NEMA 1450 plug installed and that works very well. Charging at home is one of my favorite things about owning an electric car.

EvSE - In the UK we call that device that most EV cars have a “Granny charger” don’t know why or how it came about. We do make it much easier here in Europe where almost all houses have only 220-240V 50-60hz AC and not the strange mixture of circuits you have in the USA. Some people even have 3 phase power supplies too. I have a dedicated EV charger at home that is hard wired to the house circuit but can take power from the mains supply or my solar panels. I have a tethered 5m long cable on it but my next door neighbour has the same charger with only a socket so they use their car’s type 2 cable to connect to their charger.

It would be amazing if we had three phase residential power in North America!

Hey guys. Good video. One word of caution. EVSE manufacturers advise never to use an extension cord when charging your EV. Your charging cable should go straight from the wall outlet to your vehicle. Using an extension cord is a really, really bad idea. Please emphasize that in your videos.

@gregpochet4812 9 месяцев назад

Its not a really, really really bad idea if you know about wire gauge and how length effects the amps. Or know how to use google to search for this info in 10 secs. Its no more dangerous than using an extension cord for power equipment/tools, Christmas decorations or any appliance.

@dpsingh6421 9 месяцев назад

@@gregpochet4812 Realistically, how many people are actually going to do that? Besides, these videos are geared to novices. They have enough to worry about between all the jargon (Lvl 1, Lvl 2, J1772, kWh, etc.). The last thing they should have to worry about is sizing extension cords. If people are knowledgable about these things, then have at it. But for the newbies, best to give them one less thing to worry about.

@dtvconsult 9 месяцев назад

I use the term “smart extension cord “ instead of EVSE. It is more accurate.

@MrK2zeplin 9 месяцев назад

Where has Jordan been?

@laloajuria4678 9 месяцев назад

max is correct. its not lvl 3.

@josephmanuele1321 9 месяцев назад

Will the J1772 go away since other company’s are adopting the Tesla port?

@outofspecguide 9 месяцев назад

Yes but not immediately. Plenty of cars and infrastructure have it and plenty more for at least another year. And the Tesla Port is really just for North America, the rest of the world uses different standards!
