I couldn't sustify buying a ford electric in my town since my dealer had an EV charger at their location then took it away.

88kw/min = ~.30 to.32 cents/kwh! That's really cheap! I'll take it! 50kw = .83 kwh, so about 60cents/kwh! The 50kw charging speed is way more expensive! My M3 can accept 150kw/min average from about 0 to 50% so I'd be paying about 17cents per kw up to 50% SOC!

Oh yeah Ford hit it out of the park with the Mach E. Such a nice EV. And the new 2025 version is even gonna be better.

Looks like the charger is de-rating because they’re all being used. My Mach e 2023 got an update that has made the charger curve way better! Starts off high then I saw it drop to 129Kw until 79% then it dropped to 79-80kw until about 85% when I unplugged. With the std LFP 10 to 80% on an Tesla charger in Alberta with Tesla account is $22.00. Basically Double that if you use plug and charge.

I really like the Mach E. Well built and very comfortable. If I were shopping for an EV I would consider the 2025 upgraded version.

What do you guys think about the Ford Mustang Mach E? Would you consider one when shopping for a new EV? Or are there better options out there?

Even with 100% tariff this car can compete with Tesla 3 in US.

Just bought a 2025 Kona electric preferred. I really like the car, but even if they told me at the dealer's service that this trouble has been fixed since last year. I hope they are right, but having worked in the automobile business (dealers and private garages, don't necessarely trust them...), I did buy a jump starter, just like you did. And I put it in the frunk (where the 12V battery is anyway), because if I put it in the back trunk, I won't be able to access it! Now, I am curious of a few things about the 12V batterry going dead. Many posts the low voltage of the battery. But how about the acid level? Is it low? Meaning here, the battery has been overcharged. And if not, what is the acid density of each of the cells? Because that will say if one cell is bad or if the battery has been undercharged. You may simply have a bad or shorted cell which will produce the same result. Assuming that the cells are accessible to check the acid density or simply refill the battery with distilled water, just like most lead-acid batteries. The 2025 Kona has a 60 AH rating, while the older one's had 40AH, as far as I know. If I ever get into problems, I will probably install an AGM battery. Thanks for the video.

Whats up with the switch and extension cable?You don't have to unplug the ODB2 dongle when you turn off the car it should just goto sleep on its own. Wired to Wireless carplay dongles, are super cheap. You need wireless carplay, you just dont know it yet!

Any developments with doing a video about the availability of chargers at rest areas and viewpoints that I suggested many moons ago!? That would really help the road tripper. 🤔😊

😳😱 Cleaning your windscreen would have been good! 🙄😖🤣

Beautiful? Looked like a gravel carpark to me. I guess beauty is the eye of the beholder.

Perfect app for EV beginners. It truly does make range anxiety a thing you never have to worry about. Now I just use it to gauge how much charge I need from charger to charger when on a road trip. Didn’t know you could use the live data without a subscription. Will have to check it out.

Does ABRP connect to all cars through OBD2? Or just a few?

This is the perfect tool for new EV owners for sure. Or people buying a new EV and learning how it drives. I like to use it myself.

Kia soul ev here, 64kw, got it only a few weeks ago. Immediately added the obdlink cx, ant the same extension cable ahah (although I have not put the extension cable in, because I want to tie the switch to a fuse to power it with ignition). So far in all my local trips ABPR has been exactly spot on. It says I will arrive at 49%, I arrive at 49%. I have not got to do a long road trip yet though, except the day I drove it home from a dealer 500km away, but I did not have the obd dongle at the time.

Have you used A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) on one of your road trips? How was the experience? For me it is always a nice tool to have when you drive an EV especially when in unfamiliar territory.

My friend,I see people test drive it can't go up hills, is it right ?

Congratulations on finally getting a home charger! Now you can enjoy charging at home and not having to rely on public or Level 1 charging! 👍👍👍

Should have bought a Grizzle mini. Canadian built great little charger, and 2 apps.

Before I go BEV, i want induction charging at home, i want 600 range, i want batteries unaffected by cold, any cold. Sort that out and, I'm a buyer. I'm hearing all my wants are possible from Chinese makers but, Trudeau's politics & 30 yrs of poor Chinese products history weight heavy. No EV influencer dives deep on these vehicles except Sandy Munro!

I have purchased a couple Wolf box dash cams and they have been great. I was unaware that they made EV chargers. Software looks good. Charging at home is so cheap you might as well say it is free.

Excellent video. Very well explained.

I like the design of this charger. Looks nice. All the other ones I’ve see are just black bricks.

That’s a nice Woofbox evse!

Home charging is definitely the way to go if you can install one. It gives you a “gas station” in your garage at home and you can wake up each morning with enough charge to drive the whole day. Plus charging at home is super cheap!

Home charging truly elevates the ownership of an electric car. Where do you do most of your charging?

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger Is a Different Type of EV. This all-electric truck happens to carry around a gas-powered generator. it also comes with an onboard plug for charging and the MG MG3 Self charging ev has a bigger battery than the Nissan e-power but the next gen will have bigger batteries

e-power cars save the planet and until all charging stations and batteries and charging times improve a lot and also most people live in apartment blocks so don't have home charging and even if you do .... when you're on the road ..you have to use charging stations that take a long time to....

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger Is a Different Type of EV. This all-electric truck happens to carry around a gas-powered generator. While Ram's first battery-electric pickup truck caught our attention when it arrived earlier this year, the automaker's second venture in the segment might come to redefine the space.

the new MG MG3 Self charging ev works the same was but since that has more options they are more hybrid than ev

bmw i3 rangę extender works the same way

it's a self-charging ev electric car

I just bought a used 2022 as a second car and was looking for some more info on it, found your channel. I don't get the same impressive consumption.. Could it be tires? Car came with some generic allseason (not ev specific) and 33psi.. What was yours inflated at?

Japan is so far behide in EV lol

Honda calls it newer hybrid cars eHEV. Its a series hybrid similar to this, very quiet and smooth like an EV. They also sell plugin hybrids, they call them PHEV.

Nissan is bringing e-Power to the states in the next few years. The BMW i3 REX was the first example of this kind of powertrain setup available in North America.

Japanese companies have already spent billions of dollars.Perfecting the internal combustion engine that can last 300,000km. So they don't want to move to EV or plug in hybrid. Meanwhile, other companies only need to buy batteries from CATL and get vehicles that can reach 1,000,000 km.

Sounds like the hybrid power system that was in the GM Volt (manufactured from 2010 to 2019).

Not a fan of hybrid cars at all. If you are thinking of going hybrid just go full electric. It amazes me still how reluctant Japan is to embrace EVs.

I liked this car. I understand it’s not a pure EV but a hybrid. In some instances this would be a good car to have to compliment the EV you already have.

Just a comment. Train locomotives have a diesel engine that drives a generator, producing electricity that then powers electric motors to move the train. The E-Power has the addition of a battery for a number of reasons.

We tried renting an EV in Japan, but what we got was a hybrid Nissan Note E-Power. Why do you think Japan and Japanese car manufacturers are so far behind the EV revolution? Or are they correct to still focus on hybrid vehicles? Share your comments below!

It looks remarkably like the SMART car - wouldn't be surprised if they copied it

3:40 it could also be that people booked the times ahead so there are not available.

Awesome video on FLO, subscribed from Vancouver

honest guy and good shared experience... hitted like button

Greetings from a fellow Canadian. Last year my wife and I flew to Hong Kong and then spent a few nights in Shenzhen before making our way to Changchun. I was 67 at the time, and will soon be 68. I'm not sure if my age would make me ineligible to get a drivers license in China. I don't have any health issues. Also, if a license was acquired in Shenzhen for instance, is it valid for other locations in China? My wife is from China, and most of our travelling was done by train, bus, Didi, and my stepsons vehicle. It would have been nice to be able to rent a car or scooter at times. I assume that insurance would have to be purchased at the vehicle rental location. Thank you for the video 🙂.

Can i use the temporary driver's license to buy a car ?

Reservation systems are full of problems i.e. if I arrive at a station that looks open but I can't start my charge because someone who is on the way to the charger has it locked out until their reservation time runs out when I could have been charging for 30 minutes and be gone before the person with the reservation even arrives. As you pointed out "are they going to kick someone off the charger who is actively charging to make room for the reservation holder"?
