Can I review your EV? Any Make/Model/Year Let me know at this Email

I appreciate these videos showing real world facts about EV usage. It's definitely a nerd exercise to calculate the charge factors.

[hpwray]

Great video. Thank you for all the details and all the work you did!!!!

Thanks for making me regret my purchase of a Prologue. Taking it on the first road trip in a couple weeks, a round trip jaunt from San Diego to Palm Springs a whopping 500 mile elevation gain, but there are a few passes along the way that have some larger elevations, I suspect it will still be a bit more efficient then your terrain. I was spoiled with my Model 3, but I will enjoy the quiet and luxurious ride of the Prologue, so there is that. If I'm lucky I can go to Palm Springs without charging and plug in somewhere over the weekend I'm staying and be golden.

Thanks again for all your work and great content

[GetToThePointAlready]

Really appreciate you doing these tests! I dont think anyone has actually gone into such depth!

Random question, have you tried the ioniq 5?

As a first-time EV owner who bought the Honda Prologue a week ago and am planning my first road trip, this video confused the living crap out of me.

I find that Prologue Charge Later (by) timing is spot on, for those of us that don’t share with a clothes dryer.

Thanks Adam. I have to agree with another commenter that was somewhat off-putting as an experience. Access to Tesla superchargers will undoubtedly create issues to due the charge port location vs Tesla supercharger short charge cord. However if you can get an end spot or access from the backside you won't be taking up 2 spots. I can see issues ahead when non tesla EVs clog up Tesla Supercharge locations. I'm currently waiting for my adapter to checkout the Blazer EV compatibility with Tesla superchargers. It works fine at home on a level 2 Tesla universal charger with the charger set to compatibility mode (no more cannot charge messages).

The Honda app isn’t the best I have a clarity and it always has issues and I am transitioning to full EV relatively soon so thank you for your experiences.
I live in Los Angeles, so generally chargers out here are plentiful
I am looking at the Volvo XC40 and ID4 the Mach E is starting to come into my price range so lots of good options

Ive scheduled a charge on my Prologue and the same thing happened. I don't use that anymore. five attempts was enough for me. Never fully charges.

[gerhardk]

In four years of EV ownership I haven’t had as many issues charging as you have had in this one trip. 🤷🏼‍♂️
In our own there is a 50kw charge point that hasn’t worked for 2 years, I had a out of town driver ask me bout fast charging and the options where about 45 km south and 70 km northwest he had to charge at an available 6kw unit for longer than he wanted to in order to reach a faster charger. Anyway after rhat I thought I would ask Charge Point about the charger and they replied that they were waiting for an upgraded modem. They must still be trying to figure out how to go about making the modem a year after I contacted them.

Sorry Adam, I usually enjoy your video's. Keep in mind, My family is an ALL EV driving family. With 3 evs under our belt since 2019. However, after watching this video, not even I would want to drive an EV😢

Thanks Adam, enjoy your videos. You have a nice voice. Could you make a video with vehicle shut down and start up sequences - I'm interested in whether audio (from any sources - radio, Bluetooth, Android Audio, built in apps, etc.) starts to play automatically upon car startup, even if the audio source was turned off before shutting the car down. On some vehicles there isn't a way to actually "turn off" audio and it always plays when the car starts, even if you had it "muted" before, so I'm interested in getting details on how the Prologue performs in this aspect.

[arunkumar]

Enjoying your videos! But I'm curious why you don't put the actual charging station in GPS. Does this car not " prepared for fast charging " thanks

[Intruder]

I believe I heard you in one of your videos talking about the memory seat option is not or was not working. You need to activate the function in the vehicle settings.

[DairyAirGunners]

Considering your difficulty in Md., imagine the potential for even more problems out here in Arizona. I love the idea of an EV, but it's just not ready for prime time IMHO.

[shawnwinget]

I haven't tried the schedule on my prologue yet. I have a chargepoint charger and I tried the schedule on the chargepoint app and it didn't work. I can start and stop charging from the app but for some reason scheduling it to start did not work. I just go out into the garage after 8 or so and plug it in and let it charge to whatever I've set the car to. Our electricity is 7 cents a kwh so pretty cheap. The PUD does not appear to have a different rate for what they consider peak times but I figure after 8 pm is probably pretty safe if they do.

[DblOSmith]

Man... Tesla has me spoiled. That lack of interoperability would be so frustrating.

[Molishious]

I’m very interested to see how you do on the Tesla chargers since the Prologue is a GM car, but you can’t assume anything. I suppose you can’t assume even a regular GM car is going to charge smoothly. So you’ll have the issue of the short charging cable and the charge port being on the opposite side of the car from a Tesla backed in. Have any of the car companies put their charge port in the same spot as Tesla? Seems like that would be a good idea at this point.

[KimJongILLTurrble]

Hi Adam, I'm using the level 1 charger at home. Is there any way to measure exactly how many kilowatts are being pulled? Trying to calculate how much money in electricity I'm using. I know it takes roughly a 10 hour charge to go from 72% to 80%. Thanks!
