Thanks for posting. We live in the United States state of Oregon and we’re traveling to Germany in the fall. So this was a good primer for me. Thank you.
6:46 Small correction here - Ionity is not a VW company. It's a joint venture of several car makers including BMW, Mercedes, VW Group, Ford and Hyundai/Kia.
@@swestuff Uh, you are right, that's what she said. But that's incorrect also. Ionity has nothing to do with any lawsuit money. It has a different history than Electrify America.
Very nice, but the adapters to charge from Tesla charger to J type EV don't work well on superchargers, and charge slow when you can use them. NOW however, due to the US grant process, Tesla is making dual chargers that are quite slick...they have a built in adapter which can be unlocked from the charging unit through the Tesla app. At this time, they are very very few and only in more populated areas.
¡ Bien explicado, Lorraine ! It's sad, but typical, that different "standards" complicate EV charging worldwide. Hope they get their act together soon. In the meantime, adapters are sorely needed. I hope you've been able to take a few roadtrips while in Spain, and would love to see some videos of those experiences. ¡ Diviértete !
@@Seth_Stewart Tesla now sells a CCS1 adapter on their online store that can be used to charge most newer Tesla vehicles. Older Tesla vehicles that have an older generation charge port controller can be retrofitted (I and many others have done it).
@@automatix5 It never ceases to amaze me how people feel a need to interject replies to someone else's initial comment in a dedicated EV channel with the assumption that… EV owners don't already know all the above.
Awesome review! Thanks so much! I am trying to figure out if I would be able to charge my Volvo XC90 T8 in Europe (moving to Madrid soon) just using the adaptor. Any ideas? Thanks again!
It is total insanity that there are multiple different EV charging plugs. Economies of manufacturing scale favour 1 single type. User convenience favours 1 single type. Charging network cost favours 1 single type. Did car manufacturers learn nothing from EU cell phone charger plug ruling? I expect the same thing to happen to EV charging plugs at some point, likely to be CCS2
What aggravates me is Europe gets smaller more affordable EVs and we get the Chevy Bolt and that's it. Manufacturers think Americans only want big gas guzzlers or in this case electricity guzzlers. The Hummer EV is obscene, it's the same monstrosity as the gas Hummer but this time it's electric. EVs are heavy because of batteries but we don't need 6,000 lb monsters that use more juice. I was very excited about the EV revolution but so far it's only been a disappointment.
@@android04 The Aptera is good but it's not mainstream and won't work for many people. We need more EVs ID3 size. Under 30k would be great but even under 40k is an improvement of the current environment.
The problem with the prevalence of big cars is that it intimidates people into buying them even if they'd prefer a smaller car, because in a big car vs little car crash, the little car loses.

honestly, out of all the "charging your ev" type of videos, yours is the best one no doubt
Well done young lady. Concise, clear, articulate and informative with no waffle. Excellent presentation
Fantastic overview. Great job getting video of both US and Europe charging infrastructure.
Thanks for posting.

This video rocks. Love the simple explanations and clear shots of the connectors. 👍🏼
very informative and not too long. And exactly what I've been looking for. Great!
2:25 you found a Blink station that works? Amazing.
This is the most informative channel for charging basics and realities, so well presented 🎉
I appreciate that!

She never said it was, she said the company was built using VW lawsuit money

Excellent explanation and video. I can only imagine how long it took you to edit! 😬
Wow, CallasEV, great video, great info.
I had no idea the J1772 type 2 was capable of DC charging on it's own. I guess the car also has to be compatible with that
There are adapters for North American Teslas in Europe. Anything more about on connectivity issues?

American “standards” are in place to discourage, the transition to electric. That’s all.

"from Volgswagens lawsuit money" i love you 🙂
Thank you for this
EXCELLENT!!
Type 2 connector allows 3-phase charging AC.
Awesome review! Thanks so much! I am trying to figure out if I would be able to charge my Volvo XC90 T8 in Europe (moving to Madrid soon) just using the adaptor. Any ideas? Thanks again!
What is your favourite connector?
Beautiful~!!
Great overview. It makes me so happy to only have to deal with the US tesla charger.
It makes me so happy to just be able to use the normal 240v in my garage for my Tesla.
Hello CallasEv 👋
Hi!
It is total insanity that there are multiple different EV charging plugs. Economies of manufacturing scale favour 1 single type. User convenience favours 1 single type. Charging network cost favours 1 single type.

The Hummer EV is more like 9,000 lbs. If you want light and efficient, check out the Aptera.

@@TheRealLaughingGravyno it doesn’t. The safest car is not the biggest car, it is the car that has the best safety features built in.

I'm so glad that I don't have to carry 4 adapters everywhere with me just to charge. Type 2 and CCS or GTFO!
I’ll just use my Tesla charger. Too much for me to think of.
