I'm an electric car owner and enthusiast. As a Chemical Engineer with over 14-years in the energy industry, I enjoy learning about renewable energy, home electrification, batteries, and electric cars. If you are curious about going electric for your home, buying an electric car, or learning about new technologies then welcome to my channel.
Super Simple Explanation of Electric Car Charging Stations: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Explained
Electric car charging station types can get confusing. I keep it simple. Here are the three types of electric car charging types, levels, or stations. After watching this, you will know how to charge your electric car. Or at least act as you do.
Will you feel like a car charging expert? No chance, but you will understand the fastest way to charge your car, the differences between car charging types, and what to call them so you can sound like you own an electric car.

Can an Electric Car Go Through a Car Wash? This is How
Переглядів 9 тис.2 роки тому
When it comes to keeping electric cars clean, some owners might wonder if the age-old adage that electricity and water don’t mix applies to electric cars. After all, no one wants to potentially damage their electric car by taking it through a car wash. You can put your electric car through a car wash without damaging your car. Electric cars are tested by manufacturers to ensure that they are sa...
Testing Regenerative Braking Down a Volcano | 0% to What?! charged in my electric car
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому
To push the limits of my EV, I drove her to the top of a volcano to kill the battery and then coasted the electric car to the bottom. How much did regenerative braking recharge the battery? Regenerative braking is one of the reasons why I love driving an electric car. Haleakala volcano on Maui sits at 10,023 feet. A perfect volcano to test regenerative braking. I start with what regenerative br...
How Long Can An Electric Car Sit Without Charging? Tips for Long-Term Parking an Electric Car
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 роки тому
Having an electric car is a great way to take part in doing what is best for the environment, but for those owners who work from home or don’t make many trips, it’s important to know that the car is ready when you need it. How long can you let your electric car sit without charging? An electric car can sit for months without charging if the battery power is at about 50%, and it is not being exp...
Well done, mahalos.
I replace my 2015 sonata with a 2020 hybrid Accord. Went from averaging 33 mi a gallon, which is not bad. To 48 me a gallon, which is excellent. I can also drive it as an EV for short distances like going to the post office and grocery store. So get yourself a hybrid and get the best of both the gas and the electric world.
And i thought tesla battery was special 😂😂😂😂 im not surprised
This is the best vid of regen-braking i've seen! Great proof of concept👌🏾
Hold the shifter N and it goes into N we never had any issues
Moumt ever 27000 fert 129 oerct charge soo year yiu xarn get fuly chargesd
Wish they would make a level 2.5 since my house for some reason has 3 phase 480v
Something not quite right. Trip up = 33 miles Trip down = 28 miles
This depends on the EV. My Hyundai Ioniq 5 can be switched into neutral, and you can tell the car to stay in neutral even when the car is off.
Maybe you have it in one of your other videos, but for your water heater did you have to install an expansion tank on it? I'm trying to upgrade mine from gas to electric, and online sometimes I see an expansion tank and other times I don't so I'm confused if you need one at all.
New dell 150 mioe rabgebplanet

Thanks
Is the level 2 charger AC or DC?
EV? Good job
Just bought an i4 and your vid is very helpful. thank you.
Not such a thing Level 3 called sorry you are miss informes
existen AC Level 1 - Up to 1,92 kW AC Level 2 - Up to 19.2 kW DC Level 1 - Up to 48 kW DC Level 2 - Up to 400 kW
That its no called Level 3. Only exist DC Level 1 and Level 2 - Level 3 wasn’t inplemented. No such a thing that L3 Proposed L3 Charging Methods 1996 Level 3 - Up to 240 kW DC "Capable of replenishing more than half of the capacity of an EV battery in as few as 10 minutes" 2001 Level 3 - Up to 96 kW AC 2010 - today Level 3 - Dropped "Note: AC Level 3 charging has never been implemented." Level 3 charging information is considered historical only.
Should’ve done it on B mode, more regenerative breaking
How steep was the downhill grade ? Luckily, no cow got in the road. I suppose you never had to use the disc brakes. I wonder if there's anywhere in the world where there is BUMPER to BUMPER traffic going a long downhill mountain road, in which case, maybe the disc brakes are in danger of FADING, despite regenerative braking, because you can't go too fast downhill. If this scenario happens, then there would be traffic regulating stop/go lights to keep traffic thinned-out.
Great video
Great video, thank you. Fun Fact: we leased a 2013 Nissan Leaf for three years and loved it. We only used the Level 1 charger at home. We started out charging every second of every day, when we first got the car, if the car was home, it was plugged in. That lasted maybe 6 months then we found out we can contact our electrical company and have them put us on a special EV Plan and if we promise to charge only after 8 PM we would pay less for electricity so then we started only charging at night 8pm - 8am, that lasted maybe a year, then we realized we can get by, by only charging every other day, so we did that, I share this with you because the car only had an 84 mile range and we finished the 3 year lease by only charging maybe 3 days a week, yes still only on Level 1 charger, so before you run out there and hire an electrician to install an expensive Level 2 thingie in your garage, give the Level 1 charging a chase, it is better for the battery pack to trickle charge than fast charge anyway, and please check out my EV conversion if you're bored ...
Too complicated I'll just get a gas car
My car gets charged in 3 minutes with gas lol
Love the no bs, jumping into the details intro to the video. made me enjoy watching rest of the video, like other people said
What a fantastic experiment! Wish I had a volcano nearby..
Too much money to upgrade to level 2
There’s no such thing Level 3
0:55 Replacing a gas hot water heater with electric will dramatically increase your load. Replacing a gas furnace with electric will DRAMATICALLY increase your load. Installing electric air conditioning will dramatically increase your load. So this video is not providing accurate, useful information.
It’s different if you have a car wash where you drive onto a belt that moves , and tires don’t roll as you go thru 😳 In neutral, my front tires spin as the belt engages the front tires, the car “thinks” the car is rolling backwards, and engages parking brake, which temporarily shuts down the whole car wash
Thanks alot 🙏
99-41 recoup power from regerative braking so 58% used 58 miles. Is that correct?
Yess biglt step mot topp soeed most efert
fantastic! the summary was perfect, and actually had me watching more for details. thank you!
What a liar 😂 at the beginning of the video hes tarted at 1290.6 miles 99% 🔋 (trip meter) 2:15 Then almost half way in the video 1301.9 miles 68% 🔋 (trip meter) 2:36 And arrived to the final destination with 0% 🔋with 1323.2 miles on the trip meter 3:03 but i really dnt understand why would u do such thing
Gas guages use that too
Hi Jordan. I was wondering, do the brake lights come on with the Nissan Leaf when using regenerative braking?
@@clofg3698 thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Awesome video and ride! How strong is Regen breaking compared to engine breaking through compression?
This is exciting! I live past volcano on bi, Just learning about the leaf today. Checking one out tomorrow. This car may be great for me! This volcano is just 4k elev
I purchased a level 2 charger but found out it was only about 20 minutes faster compare to my level 1. Is there a reason why??
thanks for the question. Ask your electrician why you aren't seeing a major difference. Perhaps it is 240 volts but not enough amps. Some level 2 chargers show the amps that it is getting. 27 - 32 amps is typically the minimum breaker that is installed.
