    EV Tesla driver here. I love it. For now it's super cheap for electric. I only deal with Tesla superchargers and my home charger which i find is the best experience for me. I find some of the other charging stations are so undependable. I've never had any issues with chargers not working at a Tesla stop. I also have a portable Tesla charger in the trunk that plugs into a standard outlet as a plan c. It's for if i end up somewhere far overnight where a charger might be too far to get to. Only used it once when i went out to the Carolina beaches to my in-laws house and the nearest super charger was 50 miles back on the freeway. I plugged in the Tesla portable charger (which is very slow since it's pulling from standard outlet) into the outlet outside overnight and I had plenty of charge to get around and make it to the Supercharger to get a fast charge as I was headed back home which is a couple hours away.

    Nice breakdown and interesting to see you cover this space with your videos. Btw I think you’re mixing up kW and kWh but your math makes sense. kW is the power or rate of energy that’s being used or transferred and kWh is the measure of energy used. The charging networks charge per minute or per kWh but NOT per kW.

      My brain gets confused. But I get it overall haha.

    How about the strain on the grid? Who pays for the grid to be updated so we can charge all of these cars? Oh right... tax payers. Even those of us who don't own EV's will have to subsidize the cost.

      Data centers are pulling even more power. Looks like you have to subsidize that cost too. And all the other things that make an economy. I charge at night at about 4 cents a KwH. I talked to a power company guy, and they said producers of power in ND were begging utilities to buy their nighttime power since they can't find buyers. Point is, it's not that simple.

    yeah, sitting on a huge battery, soaking up all that radiation and not wanting to know if (God forbid) accident happens, makes so much fun…
    NO IDEA what makes a man (MAN!) to buy a EV if there are gas cars! It is irresponsible to yourself and your family health.

      Tesla hands down the best crash rating. Best for your family's health! Radiation? Time to not have NO IDEAS!

      Sounds good. I didn’t realize an EV made me lose my manhood. My apologies. I’ll work on it.
