charging

I'm in the initial planning/research stages for installing a Level 2 wall connector. I just had one contractor refuse to quote me anything unless I agreed to installing a 2nd meter. Is this standard practice for 60AMP service? This is the first I have heard of installing a second meter for...

I live in a condo and trying to figure out my charging situation before I get my car next year. I need an electrician to install a nema 14-50 outlet near a window and he would have to run the cable about 25-30 feet with rearranging the breakers in my panel to have the two that are available be...

I'm setting up home charging for a Model 3 that will arrive soon. If I set up a Tesla Wall Connector and, in a few years, get a 2nd vehicle that is _not_ Tesla, is there any hope to charge it with the Tesla EVSE? Or, should I look at non-Tesla chargers now? No matter what, I must run a new...

New mini se owner here. Love the car but I always have trouble unlocking the level 2 charging cable at home. I followed all the steps from the user manual. Wait the light to turn white before disconnect. Lock and unlock the car from the key or from the door handle. I even know the pin unlock for...

My wife and I are finally ready to make the leap from ICE to EV. We are going to look at VW ID.4s and I have been trying to figure out the home charging situation. Our garage has a dryer style 240v/30a plug however it is the older NEMA 10-30 connector. I have found several NEMA 10-30 to NEMA...

I'm looking to pull the trigger on a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y in the next 6 months. In preparing for this purchase, I'm going to have to upgrade the electrical system on my house and get an exterior charger installed where I park my vehicle. Since I've settled on buying a Tesla, is there any...

Hello everyone. We just posted an in-depth Taycan charging video. It's loooong - and has a lot of basic charging points explained so the more experienced EV drivers may want to skip ahead which is why we included a bunch of timestamps to specific topics. We hope you find it useful...

We bought a new 2019 Kia Niro over the summer. Haven't put many miles on it, since there's really nowhere to go in lockdown. Previous car was a plug-in hybrid, so (1) we have a home charging station and therefore (2) I haven't really paid much attention to what kinds of charging stations are out...
