In this video we cover the 4 main questions you should ask before deciding on what components to buy. We will go in depth on what is vehicle fast charging, how to achieve stable fast charging, and what parts are needed. We cover wiring on traditional gas vehicles, hybrid vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and some RVs.
We end with examples of two different vehicles with different answers to the 4 questions and show real build outs on those two vehicles.
We specifically focus on Bluetti's Charger-1 and Renogy's 1000 watt and 3000 watt inverters.

As always, I am not paid to make these videos. Some of the products you see have been provided for review purposes, but none of the costs of testing or installation were reimbursed. In this video, only some of the Bluetti products were provided. All Renogy products were purchased at full retail.
