@MrDunkin Forgot to mention; your video is very helpful to others, so that they may understand what they are getting into. These cars are not cheap. The #1 reason owners go back to ICE is charging issues. Great job!
@@halfromeo8019 You only ever go 100% on an AC home charger just before going on a long trip. Once you're DC charging, it's 10% to 50% in 10 minutes, then get back on the road.
@@MrDunkin First off most electric vehicles are designed to be driven daily NOT at max battery, with the ideal max battery level around 80-90%. This is because 100% actively degrades the battery quicker than if you just kept it at 80% max, as lithium-ion batteries have their most consistent performance at a battery range of 20-80% charge. Go above 80% the batteries are full and stressed more. Go below 20% and the batteries are emptier and cannot fulfill the load on them to the same degree. You shouldn’t even use a supercharger to charge your vehicle daily. These are designed for longe range travel (more than 250 mile distances for modern Tesla’s) as supercharging itself degrades the battery quicker. You prolong the life of your phone’s battery by using lower watt chargers, like pumping it full of energy with a 40w fast charger would be more harmful to the battery than a 20w charger. For example: Imagine you are filling a glass of water up. You want to fill it right up to the brim as quickly as possible, but if you spill even a single drop, very bad things will happen. You start out with the faucet on full blast and the glass fills up. As it gets close to the top, do you let the faucet run full blast and try to time turning it off perfectly? Or do you turn the faucet gradually down to a trickle for the last few drops? In an electric vehicle, the battery when charged experiences what is called a “charging curve.” A lower battery charge level means higher charging rates can be used, and this falls off over time. At a certain state of a charge, a charger will switch to a mode where the amount of current flowing into the battery is simply dependent on the battery level itself, so as the battery state of charge increases, the charge rate naturally slows down. But I think the water analogy is a helpful illustration of how the charge rate slows down as the battery nears full.
4:10 Dunkin says the full charge takes *about* *an* *hour* . Wow!
A Camry Hybrid has a range of 630 miles, and it takes 5 minutes to fill the tank.
Nicee🔥

Thank you! 🙏🏽
Did you mention the Supercharger level? Makes a big difference. Also takes longer if 2 cars are sharing the charger.
I did not! Thanks for adding that though! 🙏🏽
It only takes longer if two cars are sharing if it’s a Gen 3. Gen 4 is not affected this way.
Thinking of making a purchase! Thanks for the info
Yessir!!!
Thanks for the info bro
Anytime🙏🏽
WHY are you charging to 100%? I charge from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes
Because he's paid for full battery and want to use a full battery, if tesla can't make proper safe fast charging it's none of consumer problem?
10% to 50% FTW.

Just watch the video, he is answering at your question.
I can tell you didn’t watch the whole video 😭
90% to 100% takes like 30 minutes. 17% to 80% would take about 25 minutes.
‼️
Charging to 100% at a fast charger is stupid. You only do that (if at all) at home at an AC charger over night, while you are NOT waiting to finish.
Can you explain why? For the rest of the class please.

I definitely wanna get one asap!!
You need to 🙏🏽
