Complete Guide to DC Rapid Charging

I've been wanting to make a one stop, go-to guide for everything DC rapid charging for a while now. I tried to make it accessible to everyone. Rapid charging is pretty fragmented and confusing, so I don't blame anyone for knowing nothing about it! Next time someone asks me "How many hours does it take to charge?" I'll show them this video. Seriously, I've encountered sooo many people that think I'm stopping for hours at a time on road trips. If I had an EV6, I'd only be stopping for 10-15 minutes at a time!

maybe a "living with an EV" video?

2023-01-11 16:07:37 +0000 UTCI like it. I wish you had clarified two points earlier in the video: 1. Using rapid chargers is not the norm. 2. In much the same way people rarely pull into a gas station just as the last drop of fuel is being used, you would rarely charge from 0%. I think that one of the image problems with EVs is that people don't realize that they will not normally being charging away from their homes (unless, of course, like me they live in an apartment without chargers)

2023-01-11 07:12:43 +0000 UTCProbably not important but there's a minor mistake at 1:25, it says EVSE stands for Electric Vehicle Special Equipment but the S is for Supply. I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it except the stated goal of the video is for educating people!

2023-01-11 06:52:06 +0000 UTCI just went to a Ford dealer with three low mileage gently used Mach Es. I bet something similar happened. EA (and the general shoddy implementation of rapid charging in general) is going to ruin EVs for a lot of people

2023-01-11 04:09:39 +0000 UTCI wish you did this three months ago before my friend bought his MachE. I told him the ride home from Kansas City to St. Paul after picking up his car would be frustrating with him hitting EA stations while I was able to use Tesla SCs. He was very close to returning the car after that trip.
