This educational EV video is aimed at those new to electric vehicles or thinking about buying an EV and wanting to know the cheapest & most convenient way to charge. I cover everything you need to know about slow charging using a portable, level 1 charger, or EVSE, from a normal 10amp PowerPoint, either at home or while road tripping in an electric vehicle.
I also talk through:
- How much your electricity bill is likely to increase charging at home?
- Cost to home charge your EV with a 10amp portable home charger.
- Comparing Petrol versus Electric "fuel" cost using this charging method.
- Travel cost for 100 km road trip charging an EV with 10 amp EVSE.
- Can you safely use an Extension Lead with portable EV chargers?
This level 1, AC, 10 amp home charging is likely the best value charging you will ever get as an EV owner but it wont be the fastest charge around. Stay tuned - next video in the series looking at the next level up charging.
