So excited to share this video with you and the entire series! Absolutely epic to play around with some DCFC stuff. Can’t promise videos will come quickly, but I’ll be filming everything possible with this process ⚡️
The day has come! Super excited to see the video and thinking about the journey ahead. We have some very interesting videos to look forward to! Thanks for bringing us this great content Kyle!!
That's straight up baller getting a DC Fast Charger! I love my Autel MaxiCharger. It was one of the best upgrades to my garage over the portable unit I was using for a few years.
It would be cool to set up the DCFC for public use by payment and see how much you make vs electrical costs over a month or two. Put a video camera on the parking spot for the charger.
This was a fantastic video! There is literally no one out there making content with their personal DC Fast Chager. Congradulations on an amazing milestone. #mindblown #autel #dcfc #charging
Love to see this and now my dream of getting a Megapack delivered to my house is a possibility!
This is sickkkkk.
This is really raising the bar on EV RUclips channels. How can I take someone seriously now if they don't even have their own fast charger? 😂
I got a charger on cheap - kinda half fast.
Fast forward 5 years Kyle has his own DC fast charging network that put EA out of business
EVTV did years ago
Credit to Autel for taking a leap on providing a long term loan review unit to Out of Spec with no strings attached. Not a lot of companies would take that chance.
Kyle gets super excited all the time but this beats anything seen before 😂
LOL -- I agree, next level Kyle excitement on this video! It's a little bit too contagious!
@@kingzorb yes “next level Kyle excitement” is exactly right 😂
I admit I got excited too. I had to do something else but when this video showed up I absolutely had to watch it immediately.
How jealous is Tom Moloughney right now?
Right?
His last name is too difficult, I can only remember Molo
Very much so, they'll have to keep Tom and his truck away from the garage while it's in storage! 😊
Lol
😂😅🤣
I would suggest putting in a 600a frame sized breaker that is adjustable (an ETU) so you can change the trip settings in the future when you get a new charger that has a different trip requirement. You can oversize the conduit and conductors too, so you won’t have to swap out those. Also, I’d recommend “skid mounting” the charger so it’s easier to swap out when you get a different one down the line.
This is the kind of Content the EV business needs.
It will greatly help both consumers and potential buyers to understand what’s involved in obtaining provisioning, and operating a ChargePoint.
I can’t wait to see what happens.
It should also dispel some of that FUD that fast chargers are needed everywhere like gas/ petrol stations.
I don't have a petrol station in my home / garage or driveway. Nor need a fast charger for anything other than long trips.
First line of the video: "maybe I should read the instruction manual...nahhh". Haha you love to hear it, what could go wrong. Wonder what Brandon Flasch would say :)
I can't believe that you guys are starting a whole new niche on RUclips!
I know! A private company testing public-type chargers!
This video knocked it out of the park! Beautiful panel work---coming from a man closing his shop this week---after 45 years!
I haven't seen Kyle this excited since the Twizzy. I'm looking forward to the installation and the testing.
Now you can mock EA on a whole new level! "Well MY DCFC has a 100% uptime, what's your problem, EA?"
That's assuming this unit works all the time. Perhaps it will work 100% 60% of the time
EA is very very poor at maintaining their network.
You’re lucky you surround yourself with smart professionals in this industry ⚡️
Thanks for sharing. There is a lot of curiosity around these and it is really admirable of Autel to open up their process. They get huge props and I'll be supporting their charging systems in the future because of this.
Out of Spec - Never was the channel name more appropiate
Now you need to ask Elon for a free Megapack to go with your charger.
and Auto-Bidder for Tariff management.
That would really help with Kyle's demand charges. Run properly it could reduce them to zero, by keeping overall building demand plus EV charging less that the max the building alone would take. Paying the demand charge would be less expensive than a megapack, but a free megapack would be awesome!
Kyle has amassed a lot of knowledge about DC charging. Both technical and HMI. Having the actual hardware is a great opportunity. I'm anxious to learn how this thing turns 3 phase AC into DC. I'm impressed that something so powerful is in a single cabinet and air cooled.
5 years from now......... The Out of Spec charging network becomes a nationwide charging network!
Haha would be great. But we want them to make money and not to go bankrupt…..the charging industry is a giant money loosing business.
So who else was desperate to see/hear Kyle clunk that big switch...
Oh GAWD YES!!!
Hi Kyle, just a suggestion about the placement: please, think about the charger as a sculpture, a showpiece, an educational object, not as a 'charger'. When you look for a place you want to walk around it, you want to open all doors and show it to interested students, drivers etc. It will need pavement around it (not soil and bushes around the slab). So, don't squeeze it in a corner. The video is great as usual, thank you for the great job you do for us.
We bought around a dozen DCFCs from a competing brand for a school system and they ran $24k per unit. Level 2 dual stalls were around $16K each. Extra cost to consider is in conduit runs from the closest transformer, electrical service panel upgrades, concrete pad, stanchion, installation. internet connectivity, setup and ongoing monthly fees for the payment processing and management software. Biggest question we have now is how to setup the charger visibility so that they are not publicly available during school hours.
You're correct. I'm guessing at least $50-$100k all in for design, engineering , permitting and construction costs.
This DC Fast Charger looks like it costs $75-100K. How much power can you get from a $24K model?
I am glad your thinking about public use during non-school hrs since it's publicly funded
Can't wait to come up to FC to see this in person. So awesome and so Kyle!
I love that you get so excited over this stuff. You're living your dream and that's so cool to see.
Excited to see this saga unfold. Man I love RUclips.
As the bloodsucking lawyer in Jurassic Park says - 'Is it heavy? Then it's expensive'
That's awesome Kyle! We're super excited too for all your reviews!
Okay but this is literally the most Kyle thing ever. How I did not see this coming I am not sure😂 So awesome.
So cool! Can't wait to see the backend and all the juicy details!
Huge congratulations to you all Kyle! I can’t think of a better media outlet than out of spec for this. You are going to do some amazing content with this!!
Thanks Kyle. This is absolutely the biggest unboxing I have ever seen! Have fun with this. Lots of love to all.❤❤❤
The tilt indicator is working pretty simple I guess. If the box was tilted a certain degree, the little steelball will come out of its pocket and land in another one, indicating the degree of the maximum tilt, that the box was "suffering" during the shipping. Never seen one before, but it should work like that.
Really cool! This is going to be a great learning experience for out of spec and your viewers, so pumped to be a part of it!
WOW!!!
Your brimming enthusiasm is what powers your channel(s) Kyle.
This is a project I will be looking forwards to every episode of. Brilliant.
Kudos to Autel for engaging, and investing, in public exploration of EV charging. They couldn't have picked a better youtube outfit to do this with. If you're watching, Kempower...
So cool. Really looking forward to the progress on this project. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Exciting stuff for the future! Congratulations, I can hardly wait to see this up and charging! 😊
Kyle you are pioneering the details of EV that nobody else is doing. It seems nerdy now but you are educating a horde or future EV nerds that will annoy their friends with all their EV knowledge and ultimately create tons of knowledgeable champions for this technology.
Who knows where EV is going to be in 10 years but the more people that actually understand it the better it will be.
I'm so excited to see this process. It's going to be such an education for all of us CCS drivers as to what the difficulties are with maintaining the charging infrastructure for charge point manufacturing. Congratulations, OoS, for all the work the team has done through the years. You've truly earned all of your success and I look forward to witnessing the future!
Very cool Kyle, great content keeping us interested and excited! Thanks Alisa, great filming 😁
this is awesome!! love your enthusiasm! really interested to see how the power agreements work with this scale of energy
The emergency stop is supposed to always be user accessible in case of emergency even by a user or a professional.
A basic example would be if a firefighter needs to do something on a car that is still connected to the charger, they need to be able to shut it down for good.
This video will be very useful when i order mine. Thanks Kyle!
This will be a very interesting video series. It is great to see Kyle's enthusiasm, as always.
It was only a matter of time! Very excited for the content to come.
holy smokes Kyle, your excitement is intoxicating, love your knowledge on this subject, love the ev's tested, sweet
Very cool! Looking forward to the series, and hopefully with more brands loaning chargers!
So looking forward to this series, way to go!
Exciting times. Congratulations on the terrific score. Looking forward to the future videos.
I think Freewire should benext as you don't need alot of power
This is so freakin cool. Thanks for covering this super important part of the EV world in such detail guys.
Kyle is so excited he was out of breath the whole time! Proud of you brother! It's gonna be epic to watch it go in :)
This is so exciting Going where no other You-tuber has gone Keep the videos coming
I am excited too! I will be watching in detail!
Too Cool!! Looking forward to seeing all the videos on this!!
The geek in me is GEEKING OUT!! You are a crazy awesome guy!!! Get it set up and I’ll come charge!
Utility friends are best friends of a EV owner. That is just awesome.
Congrats. Looking forward to this series.
22:49 Why on earth does this cost $100k? Kyle opens door.... OHHHHHH MG!!
Thoughts on the project: Get a mega-pack or equivalent donated/made (possibly a school project), maybe get the university to redirect (A/B switch) solar and wind to the battery pack, and put that inline with the charger to defer the day-time cost of charging students/faculty/staff charging. A school/OutOfSpec study on small install DC fast chargers with supplemental "green" energy can be a school project and feasibility study done to see what "mom and pop" small companies might expect. :) looking forward to the progress...
That's pretty cool. It is good that you'll get to see the business end of the credit card reader so you'll know more about what a joy or disaster it is. One thing to consider is explaining through diagrams the exact path that the three-phase takes as it goes through the charger and into a car. All the switching, all the voltages and currents. That would be educational.
This is so exciting!!! 🎉
Great idea! Very interested in future content on DC charger operations.
Congratulations…..looking forward to seeing it in use.
This is pretty neat not to mention the building you are in. Glad you did not leave.
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!! ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love Alyssa's inability to control herself and *not* peel the film! :)
F...n awesome!!!! You guys are unbelievable!
I need 3 for the house lol. That’s awesome Kyle! We are just as pumped about this as you are!
How awesome is this!! Can't wait for the next video's.Would love to know all about it!
Wow this is really cool! Thanks Autel for loaning this. I had no idea we had a old powerplant on a CSU campus. It's nor far from me either. :)
Holy crap!!! This is awesome!!!!
Now you have me looking into gettin 3 phase 480v to my house/shop. This is awesome!!!
I'm hoping to learn so much from these videos. Please get this installed ASAP! I know that won't be the case. But I can't wait.
This video earned my subscription. Gratz on the Autel...
Have you considered getting a Tesla power pack so you can charge the power pack when electric costs are low, and use the power to charge vehicles anytime?
Hell yeah, brother!
Very cool I cant wait to see the next video! 400 amps for one charger!
alright so I'm excited to see this. The 'mystery' behind these chargers is too damn high. can't wait to see what you encounter
20:04 What a big box, Aral Pulse has also started to deploy VW integrated LFP based DC chargers in my area that only require little power (battery boosts the charge). 👍
So stoked!
Really cool project, I will subscribe for future updates!
If you're going to pour / run conduit, looks like you can at least fit two units in there so site prep for more than one might be worthwhile. Test the next thing on spot 2 and gives you flexibility to clear out spot 1 (Autel) for a new one or whatever in the future.
Man o Man do I wish I was younger and in the market. One thing you should hit on with these homes is that neighborhoods built with this process will not turn into run down eyesores as so much of America has become. Wouldn't it be nice for once to be able to stay put (if your want) because the homes next to you and down the block are still looking great 60 years from now. I just sold my home in Florida that was built 17 years ago and the wear on the home was unbelievable. These printed homes are going to change everything. Great job. Can't wait to walk through one. 👍👍👍👍👍
"The right tool for the job" such an important saying. You rock bro, i dont car what tool you use to open it with.
Are you installing one at Green River too 😅😂
Yes. And another race to Vegas just to beat the Tesla.
Kyle hit the switch on his DCFC, neighborhod blackout 😂
Keep up the great vids!
Looking forward to the infrastructure upgrade...🎉
Yoooo this is so cool, wish all EVs used NACS though so you guys could only have NACS ports on it haha. This thing is going to be so useful for you guys with your battery testing videos and your EV race videos as well, congrats guys! 😄
The tilt watch shows how far it has been tilted during transit, the ball sits at the steepest tilt angle in the direction the ball traveled.
Yup, somebody tilted it pretty far to the right.
Wow I didn't realize you guys were at the Power House. I just stayed with friends in North Old Town and walked right by... should've stopped by to say hi. Congrats on the DC fast charger! Looking forward to lots of videos with this thing.
Super exciting! I have always wanted to know more about the process of trying to install a commercial grade charger and how hard or not it would be to make it work as a business. Looking forward to more in this series.
This is the most exciting OOS project yet!
So freaking awesome 🎉
I work for the number 1 provider of fuel station equipment in the US. We acquired a dc fast charger company but I never even considered “review” units. You’ve sparked my interest in finding out more about it.
My guess is that you'll need a load study on that distribution panel and possibly down line panels as well to ensure you do in fact have enough power for that new DCFC. Also, I'm guessing the campus/school will require a stamped drawings from an electrical engineer as well? Looking forward to seeing what the actual requirements will be and the total cost of construction combined with the necessary electrical work. Looks like a fun project!
Watch the power bill SKY ROCKET!
Yeah a university building is going to have to go through all the red tape. The campus facilities and business office might have something to say about the power usage and cost as well. Somebody higher up could easily say no and derail the whole thing.
@@TechnicalLee I'm sure Kyle has backup plan upon backup plan. If the university says no, they are turning down a huge PR opportunity. And Kyle can just rent some commercial warehouse with enough juice and demo it there instead.
I can’t wait for a rate your charge tweet from your charger.
As someone who was responsible for EV infrastructure at a Big 10 University, I’ll be super impressed if they can get it up and running in three weeks. It took me nearly a year to get two level two chargers installed. Btw, nice job on acquiring the charger and good luck. I’m looking forward to the future content on this project.
This is such a cool video. The use case you mentioned around manufacturers testing sounds like it could make for some great content. It would be cool to invite a startup like Telo to give it a shot (once they have a car)
Kyle is like a kid on Christmas morning 😂
This will be fun to follow. All the running cost etc etc etc.
I'm here for it!
This is crazy! New avenue for Out of Spec!!
