I've been happy for the past 4 years charging using NACS so more NACS the better. Honestly all those charger only matter when traveling long distance or you can't at home. I wake up daily with a full charge.

The VW auto group announced they're adopting NACS also...

0:45 I guess this was recorded before VAG announced in early December about them joining the NACS (SAE J3400) standard.

Glad to see systematic approach to it. Looking forward to doing cross country in couple of years on EV.

Love my EV. I plan on never going back to gas

[wjlambert]

I was surprised by the simplicity of the EVGo network for charging, it's very much like Tesla Charging in that all you need to do is connect and start charging and you account is auto-billed. It's the easiest non-Tesla network I have yet used.

[BryceLovesTech]

It’s only there was a company that built a nationwide supercharging network that was flawless and had 99.9% reliability

Cool vid. Thx for making. I enjoyed watching. BTW, three of those NEVI sites already opened in December.

I don’t buy new cars or even cars in general very often but I’m looking forward to an electric car when I upgrade. The driving I do everyday and once in a while could easily be done by an EV.

[devBadgerJ]

Those new Volvos are going to be a game changer. They'll be as affordable as the Bolt but with better charging speeds. There are almost no new EVs that are that cheap anymore.
If they do it right it'll end up being the Corolla of EVs.

Tap-to-Pay – about damned time! Great news!

[MarkMaxwell-author]

Safest, best performance cars on the road are electric. Time to jump in and join the party!

[swms]

My issue with these charging stations is how expensive they are. In the summer I pay under 8 cents a k/h at home but the cheapest I’ve charged on a long trip is 44 cents per kilowatt hour. Sure they have to maintain them and get their initial investment back but why do they need to gouge us

[dontbanmebrodontbanme]

Wow, an EV piece that's actually positive!

[OutsideDuhBox]

I will get one when they are chargeable at every gas station. And they charge to at least 80 percent in under 10 minutes. And 80% gives me over 250 miles of range.

Exiting times for EVs. I just hope they can get charging together as it's the worst part about an EV at the moment

[guatles]

As an EV owner for almost 2 years now, The biggest problem I have is charging out in public chargers in the last 6-9 months has been THE worst with too many other EV owners clogging chargers with not enough chargers out their compared to increase in EV owners. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I really hope this increase in EV stations does really happen soon.

Volkswagen Audi joined the NACS team about three weeks ago.

[EVnStevenApp]

Once upon a time, there was a trustworthy and proud new EV owner named Jake and a friendly property manager named Susan. Jake wanted to trickle-charge his EV using the common area electrical outlet next to his parking stall. However, Susan didn't have the budget to pay for the cost of installing a metered charging station. Wanting to help Jake, Susan suggested they install EVnSteven. Thanks to this one simple app, they both lived happily ever after 💚💚

CNET and MKBHD want us to drive a plastic box with a battery, living in 15min cities lol
