I think it makes sense for workplaces and multi family dwellings as well. Maybe not installing stations, but outlets designated for level 1 charging in some places may be just enough to open up easy access to EV ownership to more people who do not have access to home charging. Designating some outlets for level 1 charging is so cheap to do that it just makes sense, certainly wouldn’t be very useful for a grocery store, etc. though.
@0e-michigan Жыл бұрын
I totally agree! My first workplace charging was Level 2, but with a 20 mile round trip commute, I could have gotten that back in 6 hours, i.e. less than a full work day. While the AC charging power capability of onboard chargers in most vehicles is now escalating to 48 - 80 A (11.5 - 19,2 KW), Level 1 is still relevant in many cases. Orange Charger even makes a smart outlet focused on multi-dwelling units so that apartment and condo owners can offer EV charging without an expensive networked Level 2 system. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWmXw8GDk6u7iZM.html

In this video he was using a level 2, j1772 charger. That's like you use at home if attached to a 240 outlet. Ev go, electrify america, charge point and the others are DC fast chargers which are faster and cost more. You pretty much need to use them on a road trip. Keep in mind Bolts are about as slow of a fast charger there is. Charging etiquette say only use the 350 amp chargers if none of the slower ones are available. Leave them for the cars that can make use of their power output. You can only take in about 50 amps so a slower one is just as good for you.
@karlbloss Жыл бұрын
Good points! In this case, I chose to use a Level 2 charger since I had easy access to it and I was able to charge while running my errands. Certainly for longer road trips you would want to use DC Fast Chargers. You're absolutely right about using the right chargers. At an Electrify America station with 2 - 350 KW chargers and 2 -150 KW chargers, it's good etiquette to use one of the 150 KW chargers since the Bolt charges at about 50 KW peak and one should leave the higher power chargers for those vehicles that can benefit from those. Also, Electrify America often only has one charger with a CHAdeMO cable that Nissan LEAFs can use rather than the CCS cables other vehicles do. I can do another road trip video using DCFCs with the Bolt next time I need to take a longer trip.
@sammmyDaviS Жыл бұрын
What others charge Bolts? Ev Go or what are the names? Electrify America or something 🤔
@karlbloss Жыл бұрын
The Bolt EV will charge at any Level 2 charger with a J1772 plug (as opposed to a Tesla Destination Charger; you need an adapter for the latter) and any DC Fast Charger with a CCS plug. The most prevalent charging networks in Michigan are ChargePoint, Electrify America, Red E, Shell Recharge, and Blink. You can look ahead to see which network a charger is on along your route using www.plugshare.com or the associated smartphone app. I recommend that app for finding charging, then use the charging network app to activate the charger. In this video I used the Shell Recharge app for that location (www.plugshare.com/location/270980).
