Keeping electric cars charged seems like such an easy process: plug the car into power and wait a while. But in reality keeping cars like our Tesla Model X fully charged can actually be quite the challenge. In this video we take a look at the different charging options to learn which is the easiest, the most intuitive and the fastest way to keep your electric vehicle car charged. This applies to all new and used electric vehicles. From the Nissan Leaf, to the Tesla Model 3 to even the Fiat 500e if you are thinking of owning or own one of these full electrics, this video is for you!

Neighborhoods are not designed for this type of charging demand, the transformers are not spec’d out for major daytime AND nighttime usage.
Hybrids are a better more versatile design. Charging when driving and also being able to be plugged in, is the superior design.
Try lines wherever there’s a power outage.
The environmental impacts creating a $29,000 lithium-ion battery pack for millions of vehicles?
Does the name "Kobe Bryant" ring any bells?
“I think it has to do with the additional weight and engineering overhead of having 2 power sources on one platform.”
Does that mean that overall, hybrids weren’t a good idea?
what brand did you decide on?
Fossil fuel runs cleans cars; something libs don’t get.
Well, it was a magnificent waste of time and money not to mention the heavy handed way it was done by freedom robbing mandate. It was a typical gooberment total fluster cluck, a flop.
Fortunately, someone out in the world, slaving away for the profit motive came up with blue LEDs and the rest is history. The CFL is a dim bulb of a memory. Long live the LED.
Electric cars will go the same way as the LED eventually. I don’t know how and neither does anyone else right now.
I drilled for oil and gas all over the world for more than 40 years. From what I have read, the EV will soon fit at least part of my needs. As for pulling the stock trailer and things like that diesel rules for quite some time. For tractors EV actually makes a lot of sense if I could afford that.
Yup, people drive in conditions where they should not. Kobe flew in conditions they should not have flown.
Same here, I go 650 miles with a combined stop and go and rural highway in the mountains. 50 t0 53 mpg average with all the heat and AC I can stand. 1.9 TDI
“The charging time and having to have an extra 220 outlet to charge at home seems to be a nonstarter.”
If you are heavily invested in making electrical cars our main vehicle, you will ignore a simple reality:
When there is no electricity like we had recently in N. Ca. due to the fires and PG&E shutting off power, your damn Lexus or whatever charger will not work.
” Plus, electric vehicles simply won’t work for some applications.”
I’ve said this before. The perfect use for electric vehicles are things like delivery trucks that run a limited route each day and can be charged overnight. City buses come to mind also.
You’d think electric city buses would be everywhere by now if they were a good idea. In my town there are a few natural gas powered buses. I think an electric bus was tried but it disappeared.
That is the hitch in the giddiup, all right.
They aren’t California-style blackout-proof.
Shore, you can fold it up and put in your pipe right now.
Twenny minutes or so and you'll be flyin' high!

World’s first FLYING CAR that can turn into a plane in less than a minute and soar along at 100mph is going on sale in the US next month.
I can’t wait for airplane parts raining from the cloudy/foggy skies after a simple 100 mph fender bender or a 200 mph closing speed head-on.
