All you need is wires. Wires is all you need.Here's that trip report: https://youtu.be/ebGLFVzvdfMOh, and here's my main channel: youtube.com/@UCy0tKL1T7wFoY...
That video is well done and good at laying it all out. I wish I could get my brothers to watch it.
The thing is, I came here as devils advocate, thinking he was going too strong on level one. But he did well.
I had a similar discussion with my older brother, where I tried to convince him level one was possible, especially short term, but that he’d be happier with more. He installed 50a level 2, after I explained it’s the same as an electric range circuit (that’s what I have. Almost always more than I need but nice to have)
no luck at all with my younger brother. He works for a legacy car manufacturer and is convinced EVs are not practical. They found it impossible to install chargers at a plant since it would need the power of a city …… since they assumed every spot needed a fast charger and that all would be in use all day
I get the 2nd point is inaccurately assumed, but it’s a going point to possibly bring up just really just how much fossil fuel is being burned by the factory in travel alone.
If you need the electricity of a whole city, then every day those cars are burning that much.
I even had my work as an example - we have 8 chargers, 30a level 2. That’s lower than many of us get at home
…… but that’s the point where a better goal should be to just make up for energy used by the commute. The reality is most of us move cars at lunch time. 8 fairly low end chargers is sufficient to top off 16 cars in a standard workday, and that’s without “smart” chargers that can rebalance when some cars use less
That factory didn’t need bigger chargers, and could easily halve that if you don’t expect people to share
