Once upon a time, there was a trustworthy and proud new EV owner named Jake and a friendly property manager named Susan. Jake wanted to trickle-charge his EV using the common area electrical outlet next to his parking stall. However, Susan didn't have the budget to pay for the cost of installing a metered charging station. Wanting to help Jake, Susan suggested they install EVnSteven. Thanks to this one simple app, they both lived happily ever after 💚💚
A clarification to #1 "Do use the appropriate charging speed" *when available*. If I pull in and the only available charger is a 350kW, I'm using it and not waiting for a 150kW to become free.
Something that could be added; If you have a Ford charging at a supercharger, use the most right space and if you have a Tesla, charge on the left. Mix and matching will waste more spaces.
Thanks for these! Craig, did you see that Electrify America recently put out a memo saying that they’re starting idle fees in August? The fees don’t seem high enough to be a deterrent, and there’s a 10 minute grace period. But hey, it’s putting people on notice.
I got an EV around three weeks ago and just got a charger installed at home. There was nothing more frustrating than going to a DC charger nowhere near my house, only to find that the only available spot was blocked by a trailer! I wish everyone had to watch this video when they bought an EV.
I will leave a sign in my 7:40 window stating "ok to unplug" if green light is solid (full on my Bolt) or you need to get to destination, if I am convenient charging
A couple of weeks ago we visited a public charging station, a woman left a whole bag of trash from her meal in her parking spot when she left. I was frosted!
We see it a ton, even when there's a trash can at the station! But there should also be more trash cans at more stations.
Thanks for sharing your horrible experience 🤡
Thanks, great list.
It should play at all video capable stations...
I like to hit stop charging on my phone when I hit 80%. It's on a not infrequent basis that someone would want to use the charger I use, notably because the alternative station has a problem and doesn't do more than 35kw
do you know if the mobile charger plugged into a 240V 14-15 connection but using a 60A breaker and larger cable would allow to charge at 48A? or the mobile units not as capable as the hard wired units? Getting our R1s next week.
I think it’s totally ok to unplug someone when they are done charging. When I do that I usually leave a note and often the other person will leave a note back to the tune of “no problem!” It’s like at a laundromat, you need to be there when the machine finishes otherwise it’s ok for others to remove your clothes so that they can use the machine.
Just got my EV earlier this week. Calculated that charging will be done every 2-4 weeks. Yeah, I really do not drive that much. Hopefully, I will get my home charger installed quickly (all up the electrician getting the township permits first) and only have a few trips to public chargers my first few months of EV ownership.
I have a bonus tip. If your charging at a hotel. Move your car when it is charged. Even if it is midnight or early in the morning. If your not charging your blocking.
We have had our model 3 x 1 year and are just lately adopting letting the charge drop to between 10 - 20% then only charging to 70 - 80 %. Much faster charging rates! Cheaper as well.
When we first started driving EVs on the regular, we admit that we weren't comfortable draining the battery to 10% or less. But now that we're comfortable with it, we do it all the time.
Love the effort, but people have been filling with liquid dinosaurs forever and still cant manage to use common customs and courtesies when doing so. I can imagine this type of issue only becoming more prevalent as adoption rates rise. Thank goodness most charging can or should be done at home. If there's a problem there, at least you have some ability to enact change.
People, as a group, leave a lot to be desired.
@:47
omg! someone who understands!
I'm going to have to take a picture with you guys if I ever see you guys in Novi or Roseville charging stations!
Great Video!
lol! One of these was a technical tip and every single one could be summarised as ‘Don’t be a douche bag!’
Golden rule of charging. If only people while driving also followed that same rule...
I love the Tysons Punchout soundtrack
It takes 5 seconds to plug my car in the garage, when I do it in slow motion. There is nothing more convenient than that.
What I learned about this video. Be a good human being.
It's difficult for some people, apparently.
@@EVPulse I have to agree. Love your videos btw!
@@sow_scout4989 Thank you!
Thanks for all the Etiquette tips. Most of them i knew from other watched videos.
How about:
Don't light up a cigarette when handling a charging cable!!! LOL!!! Just kidding!
Most the time I am charging only at home. My daily travels are not that far.
Great videos. Take care.
Biggest problem that I frequently encounter is that of finding the charging point bay obstructed by a family filled ICE SUV, pick-up or flat bed. The charging points generally have wider bays to allow for vehicle side cable plug-ins but these are also just great for loading kids, prams and shopping in a hurry when the weather is poor.
Rule 1, suppose the 350kw is the only working charger at the site for your 55kw bolt. I say you can certainly use it.
Rule 2, if you need the miles til the next charger, and there are places where the chargers are too far apart, feel free to charge above 80%
Lastly I don't think most people care if a Tesla person uses a non-tesla charger.
The Rest of the rules seem great.
Yeah, if you need the juice get it. Also if its only available, that's cool. Absolutely.
In case she ever sees this… Shout out to the lady and daughter in the ioniq 5 who on 10/22/23 @1130am decided to unplug me and end my session while charging at target Van Nuys just because they “really needed it” The way you show up in one part of your life is the way you show up in all other aspects. So basically they’re entitled/rude/clueless in everything they do 🤷♂️
That's why they make "Karen Locks".
It started really well with good clear information, then the daft needless music started and that’s when i turned off.
Okay, thanks.
What an incredible hassle; I'm SO glad I don't own an EV.
The video: “Don’t interfere with other people by blocking stations or meddling with their cars.”
Everyone else in the comments “This is all just ‘don’t be a jerk.’”
You: “What a hassle I could never do this.”
I have Zero 0 interest in a AV /Anxiety Vehicle.
We love ❤️ our new 2023 Prius. 55 MPG 😎
Good for you… The EV really don’t care whether you have an EV or not.. they are not for everyone and as you stated, definitely not for you….
That reminds me, I need to go to a Prius video and say how they don't interest me.
lot of these were posted by noshitsky
I have unplugged people multiple times. Couldn't careless about their car when they are taking my time and everyone downstream of me.
Fair. If it's a DCFC and they're still plugged in, they'll get hit with idle fees though, so it could cost them.
Were they at 100%? If not, might be a bit presumptive to interpret what their charging needs may have been (even if they're only creeping along in pulling KW).
@@ALMX5DPonly at 100% of course haha. I'm not an animal.
@@mrstinky2421 lol just checking. Yeah I'd probably do the same in those situations. :D
@@EVPulseMy understanding is the EA BARELY decided the were actually going to charge idle fees which apparently they weren’t before even tho it says that they will.
Dont... go EV, its a very expensive short range super slow recharge invesment.
Why would anyone buy a car tbat requires you watch videos like this just to be able to operate it. Cars are there o
To make life easier not harder.
Probably because we are still at the beginning of the EV era and not everybody know all from the get go. I saw my father fill his truck so when it was my turn it was easy, when the pay before filling has begin it has taken me a minute to figure how to pay to fill. EV are easy, its just something to learn,
People transitioning from horse drawn carriages to cars might have watched instructional silent films. Teenagers learning how to drive watch instructional videos _now_ so what's your point here 😂
