Don't Overthink Electric Car Charging

[Tom Sawyer]

Hmm, it took Alec almost one hour to not overthink electric car charging 🤔. Maybe he should follow his own advice?

I'm with you here. I stopped after the introduction.

Maybe because I have the experience of charging an EV at home for almost 4 years now and have figured things out that I felt an hour long video on charging didn't apply to me, but the length of the video didn't seem to align with the stated title and made it easier to stop watching.

In the end, it's not my decision on how to develop & present content on his channel.

As long as you have the incense burner, blacklight posters, yellow bean bag chair, and green shag carpet to complete the motif.

Am I the only one who's having a hard time taking EV charging advice from grown-up Eddie Munster?

I have to admit I was thinking the same thing.
Where in Arizona do you live?

I had a co-worker with a 60-mile round-trip commute who lived in an apartment building with a garage. He used this charging setup every night and wasn’t even charged for the electricity available in the garage.

Yeah, you're definitely not the audience. It's people like "ezjob" in this thread:

who are clearly struggling with EV education and don't understand what charging is really like.

It takes a lot more than "Don't worry about it, after you learn a bit and get used to it you can probably just charge off of 120V most of the time and use fast chargers when you can't." to convince and educate someone.
