I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    As an electric car owner:

    • We need more fast chargers on Interstates. Preferably at places travelers would want to stop for thirty minutes. Places like Starbucks or McDonalds. NOT gas stations or WalMart. People just want somewhere clean they can use the rest room and grab a bite or drink while they wait for the charger to finish.
    • If you are living in a house or duplex, you don’t need a 240v charger. Plugging your car into a normal outlet overnight is usually enough to add 40 miles back onto the car.
    • The Tesla connector feels like the right choice. I’m glad the industry settled on it in North America. It’s much lighter and easier to handle.

        That just means you would need a level 2 charger for your house instead of the 120v ones.

          A weekend is like four nights strung together so really you’re getting 840 = 320 miles of charge per week and using 550 = 250 miles per week.
