What about the A Better Routeplanner app for non-Tesla EV road trips? Can you do a video on that if you think it's a worthy companion, or a video on why you think it's not necessary?
Ok Max thanks for the added information on charging companies and how to find them great advice. Out of Spec channels are making the transition to EVs more fun and informative keep them coming all you Out of Spec EV nerds.
EV Connect is needed if you're going to charge at GM dealers. Many EV certified GMC & Cadillac dealers have a 50 kW ABB DCFC that is on the EV Connect network. That isn't obvious though, as most don't show up on the map within the app. Volta will likely be redundant shortly, as the company was bought by Shell Recharge. I imagine they will be merging the two. Even if it feels old fashioned, I've found my ChargePoint and Shell RFID cards useful on occasion when 5G service is flaky or something else is happening. Good to have as a backup.
Wish there were sections to skip to which apps are helpful to find EV charge stations like which ones are working or out of order or being installed . Great video tho thanks for the info
Out of Spec should create their own app that combines ABRP with all the charger providers to be able to activate and monitor your charge session with all the charging details.

this seemed more aimed at charging successfully, not route optimization.
Agreed. My comment was about the title not the video content.
A good "primer" for a Newbie -- and a refresher (confident-inspirer!) for the EV owner. Basically, a good use of my time !!! Thanks! 🙂
Chargeway is also helptul. It is like plugshare, but the way it shows how fast chargers are and customizing it to your car can be handy.

I wish the apps were just pre loaded in the car, or you could download the apps to the car / can use them right from the car's infotainment system.
Very informative,well spoken, not dragged out.
Thank you so much.
You can't talk EV apps without discussing ABRP. Yes even for Tesla drivers.
A dedicated video on route planning is in the works!

also many of the FreeWire chargers use EV Connect. They are getting more and more popular at gas stations.
Still in the infancy of EV public charging! I’m looking forward to some consolidation!
Good info! I learned a few things.
Great video Max!
Love this channel
Dude, it's pronounced jaLApee not JALopee... :-D

I LOVE THOSE SHADES!!!!
Shell recently acquired Volta.
Very informative
Did you graduate from UVA? I was class of 2022, I swear you look familiar!
Yeah I did! CLAS. Crazy small world 😅
@@iMaxPatten ah same here. Go hoos!
im convinced the main reason a group is resistant to change for evs, is both this app ecosystem, and math.....

Just fyi, the word is pronounced “Ja-lop-ee”
Good info. And to return the favour....the word is juh-lop-ee not jaw-luh-pee. Have a good one (just ask Google).
