Another video on EV charging - because small charging circuits should be more commonly known
Added 2025-06-14 00:03:17 +0000 UTCYeah so I'll be honest up front: this is something between a remake and a rerun.
I've been meaning to get this video out there for a while as something I keep seeing over and over again is the insistence that electric cars "need" 50A charging circuits which just isn't true. Long-time viewers of the channel already know all this, so in many ways this video isn't intended for my typical audience. But, especially since my older charging guides could use updating anyway, a stand-alone video on this topic felt useful.
And, speaking of cars - remember how I said 2025 would be the year of the car? And that I'd definitely for sure get my hands on a car to make videos on engine management? Well... stay tuned.
And, speaking of stay tuned - I've started the restoration of the CBS TV and I've filmed quite a lot. I want to put together a quick edit of what's been accomplished so far for y'all, and depending on how that goes I might have that for you in a few hours. I'm going to defer working on captions for this video until tomorrow.

2025-06-17 03:53:10 +0000 UTCI'd hold off on the EVSE guide for a little while longer. Bi-directional charging might change some of your opinions (not the important ones, just some less important ones), and that feature isn't really ready for review yet. On the subject of bi-directional charging: while not a critical feature, it does mandate a branch circuit with a much higher capacity since the current that the house might draw can be much higher than your acceptable charging speed. I'm not really sure how that works with electrical codes since that branch circuit doesn't have to add as much load to the house as its breaker suggests.
