Hey everyone! 🎉 I hope you all had an amazing holiday break! This is my last video of 2024, and wow, what a year it's been! First off, THANK YOU for helping me reach 800 subscribers! This is a HUGE milestone, and I’m so grateful to have all of you along for this journey as we explore tech, EVs, gaming, and life together. I truly appreciate each and every one of you ❤️
In today’s video, I’m visiting all the major fast chargers in my area to compare the experience at each one. Joining me is Amanda, who’s testing how easy it is for a newcomer to charge an EV. This isn’t a super serious experiment, and we might have made a few mistakes here and there 😅 but it’s all in good fun!
TLDW Summary:
EVGO: Easiest to use with plug-and-charge, and you only pay for what you use.
IONNA: Amazing amenities, but no app, no plug and charge and a crazy $75 hold.
ELECTRIFY AMERICA: Reliable and has the best app, but billing could use some improvement.
CIRCLE K: Their app and overall system need a LOT of work.
Overall, we had a blast making this video, and I can’t wait to see what the future of EV charging holds! Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and here’s to an even better 2025! 🚗⚡
