Get Ready for EVs: Discover the Basics and Options for Charging!

Bob Pellerin (CTOBOB) demonstrates the various types (levels) for charging electic vehicles (EV). In this introduction video he highlights what comes with most EVs and what the options are. ** LEVELS ** There are several options for charging electric vehicles (EVs). These include: Level 1 Charging: This involves using a standard 120-volt household outlet to charge an EV. This is the slowest method of charging, taking up to 12 hours to fully charge a vehicle. Level 2 Charging: This uses a 240-volt outlet, similar to the type used for electric clothes dryers or ovens. This method can charge an EV in 4-8 hours. DC Fast Charging: This type of charging uses a high-voltage direct current (DC) to charge an EV in a shorter amount of time, usually around 30 minutes to an hour. Public Charging Stations: These are charging stations that are available for use by the public, often found in parking lots, garages, and other public areas. Home Charging: This is a charging station that is installed in a home's garage or driveway, allowing the EV owner to charge their vehicle at home. Wireless Charging: This method of charging uses inductive charging technology to transfer energy between a charging pad and a vehicle's battery without a physical connection. ** CHARGE TIME ** Example of the time to charge a 62kWh battery (BZ4X, for example as around this of usable capacity) The charging time for a 62 kWh electric vehicle (EV) battery will vary depending on the type of charging being used. Here is a general comparison of charging times for a 62 kWh EV battery: Level 1 Charging: This will take the longest, taking around 30-40 hours to fully charge a 62 kWh EV battery. Level 2 Charging: This will take around 8-16 hours to fully charge a 62 kWh EV battery, depending on the charging station's power output. DC Fast Charging: This will take a shorter amount of time, usually around 1-2 hours to fully charge a 62 kWh EV battery. However, the charging time will vary depending on the specific fast charging station and the vehicle's on-board charging capabilities. It's important to note that these are approximate charging times and may vary depending on the specific EV model, temperature, and state of the battery. Also, some EV's support fast charging over 150 kW, which can charge the battery to 80% in as little as 30 minutes. --------------------------------------------------- ► Level 2 Featured Product: JuiceBox 40 amp level 2: https://amzn.to/3R8YCuc Emporia 48 amp Level 2: https://amzn.to/3HLyxyp ► Become A Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJX3tntPBJk8YvbClblS-xg/join ►Merchandise: https://bobpellerin.creator-spring.com --------------------------------------------------- ►Visit Us: http://Ctobob.com ►Subscribe: https://bit.ly/2y71jrK ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/ctobob?lang=en --------------------------------------------------- *FULL DISCLOSURE: Most outbound links financially compensate the producer of this video through affiliate programs or sponsorship deals.
