Maddie will return later this year with a new series 'Maddie's Electric Home' - check on the notification bell above to be notified!

[@terryrodbourn2793]

Yea have her run out juice on a desolate road! Find products that fix that problem!

[@TikiPete]

You can just as easily run out of “fuel” on a desolate road too.

[@charlech]

This 20 min is waste of time. Just save up and buy Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. Everything else is just vastly inferior.

[@RWBHere]

With apologies, Robert: Yay! Maddie's back! Thanks. 👋😉👍

[@frankdavis2316]

It amazes me how anyone can miss the whole point of why someone makes this Type of Video? She’s not trying to convince anybody to buy anything, or to change their lives? She is just trying to de-mystify the process of owning and operating an Electric Vehicle, for the benefit of a large number of people who have no knowledge or experience of doing so. Good luck to her! If anyone doesn’t agree let them make a reasoned response or stay quiet.

[@Noukz37]

I'm actually very happy to see this shortened version, I really didn't have the time to look at all the episodes, so thank you FC!

[@2nd3rd1st]

Jeez, now I want to know how busy you are when the world has not been put on standby.

[@ApemanMonkey]

@@2nd3rd1st some people can work from home. I have been busier than before this 'lockdown', trying to deal with all the issues it brings with it.

[@sonichedgehog8490]

Why are you looking happy?

@@2nd3rd1st I'm not busy with work, but I am with my books and the 94 channels that I'm subscribed to. :-)

[@markholohan7011]

Nicely done. One suggestion for a future episode: most people would be blown away by seeing an example of what the equivalent cost per gallon or liter of gasoline would be. Many more people would hurry to go electric if they realized it could be like fueling with gasoline at well under a dollar per gallon in my area when charging at the right time of the day. Teach people about using the built in timer to charge at the best time.

[@markfitzpatrick6692]

I don’t mind watching the shortened version Maddie is great I could watch her talk about anything. Great series

[@Bergie_78]

Not seen you before Maddie but you’re a bloody good presenter! Well done great content x

[@djdrwatson]

She's a children's TV presenter here in the UK. That's why she's so good. Her enthusiasm is infectious and draws you in.

[@frankdavis2316]

This is a Brilliant Guide to Anyone who knows very little about about Electric Cars, I knew absolutely nothing about Electric Cars Seven Months ago until I sat in a Tesla Series 3 and fell in Love with a Seductive almost Sexual Experience. It was so out my reach, Price, Style and Experience that it would remain a Dream for the rest of my Elderly life? I read everything I could about E Cars, all types and Styles, watched innumerable Videos (including the whole Six Episodes from this lovely Lady) and expanded my research into interest in Solar, Home Batteries and Chargers. I now own an MG ZS EV, have a Zappi 2 Home Charger installed in my Garage and I am Saving Up for Solar Panels and a Powerwall 2. Which I learnt about by watching a Robert Llewelyn Video. I am 82 years Old and if it wasn’t for this Damn Virus I would be zipping about the Countryside in Silence, at a Cost so Low as to be unbelievable Eight Months ago in my New Ford Ecosport SUV?? Thank you for an Excellent Video.

[@MSB_1987]

Have to say was this series which convinced me to take the plunge. Ordered my new Renault Zoe couple week ago, can't wait to finally get it delivered!

[@tobyneufeldt5763]

Really looking forward to the: `Maddie`s electric house` series. That’s where we all want to be. Free of the Grid...

[@suchdevelopments]

I've seen the series when first came out. Well worth time to watch the series, Maddie tells it as it is.

[@johnshares]

Welcome back Maddie, I must admit I was expecting a new episode, not a re-edit of the first five episodes. 🤭

[@Krylle]

But this "episode" just sums it all up - as they say in the headline: "Shareable" :)

Yeay, more Maddie! Edit: Damn, no new material...

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Nicely done guys. I had already watched all 6 parts of the series, and this hits all the high points and tells the story. Anyone really interested should watch the episodes to get the details. The one where Maggie chooses her car is really interesting. I no longer drive, but I recommended this to my sister who is thinking of replacing her 1.4 FSI Golf next year and she found it very useful.

[@wschnitzler]

Calm down, it’s a shorter version of the 6 part thing for people who can’t be bothered to watch the longer version

[@yasenpeev763]

That's brilliant, thank you so much for that episode!!! Really fast(short), informative, easy to digest guide...just what I needed!

[@marcelolazzaro3548]

I watched again because it is so much fun to see Maddie's surprised expressions. On the part about solar panels. I hope that in the future we can have interchangeable batteries. So we could leave it charging during the day at home, and simply exchange for the unloaded ones when we arrived.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Thanks for putting out these short versions since it is a good intro for someone that knows little about EV.

[@Succumbed2Rum]

Great series, truly enjoyed it. Maddie and Greg are hilarious 😂. We love our EV and encourage everyone to make the switch!

[@anthonysmithtube]

Great you do this. I'm immersed in the EV world and even I'm confused sometimes with all the numbers. This is exactly the kind of video needed to get people on- board. Ignore the haters in the comments section. Superb stuff!

[@fullychargedshow]

Don't worry we have an excellent hater-filter!

[@seanbramble4649]

Hey Fully Charged, great show. I really do appreciate the concept. But there's one thing that I really do wish that you would do more of....have Maddie host more shows. This isn't because she's hot. Yes she's gorgeous but she really reads and spells it out for the uneducated EV enthusiast. Was she ever a teacher? She just makes the information comprehensible. Andy, Robert and the others are cool too but Maddie gets my nod, my bow. Keep at it Maddie and Fully Charged.

[@diwe9984]

Great summary of the series - well done! Thank you, Maddie!

[@SailPink]

Questions 1. Cost of Zappi home charger plus install cost. 2. Cost of lease or purchase of electric car. 3) cost of typical 6kw solar PV install. Cost of storage battery alternatives Tesla LG Solax and so on. 5. Payback on the cost in financial and carbon reduction terms?

[@phoeij]

[@jamesfleming6773]

Already a big fan after watching with my grandkids on kids tv👍

Love watching Maddie - please film MORE with Maddie!

[@fullychargedshow]

We are. Lots.

[@crazyunclebob6901]

Well done Maddie! I am slightly envious. I want to go electric and dump the gas guzzle too. Unfortunately, in the USA only Teslas have serious range but since I can't afford to buy new, any Tesla I buy will have the rapid charging turned off when Tesla twigs to the sale. The only other option I have here is the Nissan leaf and that has a very small range. I hope the other long range options show up here soon.

[@Hibashira007]

Love to see a version of this journey where not everything went smoothly. Old house doesn’t have sufficient feed from the power company, dealers not selling electric vehicles on purpose, etc. which is incidentally what I’m dealing with and extremely frustrated this past year.

[@alexc6946]

This is so much more than just electric cars. Loved this video!!

[@damianchang6439]

This was awesome, thanks guys!

[@alexdalgleish1061]

Have most of the Fully Charged Show got family close by or would it be a longer trip, because the charging network can vary depending on area of the country.

[@fullychargedshow]

It varies person to person, but I do 30,000 miles a year in my electric car. Many models now have 200-300 mile range and are really easy to live with. All the best, Fully Charged Dan

[@jimchallender4616]

Loved you story - cant wait till I am able to join he EV community.

[@richardblackburn4193]

Is it safe to keep your home charger coiled up like that? You wouldn't put that much power through a extension without uncoiling the whole thing 🤔

[@livingladolcevita7318]

any chance of putting up costs of home charger

[@sonichedgehog8490]

It's helping me on the lockdown

[@WeddingDJBusiness]

Great insight into electric cars. The key for this to work is good infrastructure and faster charging times. It feels like the future though. Maybe you could do one on hydrogen cars and how that is looking.

[@fullychargedshow]

It's the here and now. Have done 120,000 in 4 years in an Electric Vehicle. We cover Hydrogen too, but the cars start from over £60,000 so it will be a while before they are cost competitive. Thanks, Fully Charged Dan

Maddie has had her EV for some time. How about an update? Is she still pleased with her decision? What problems has she experienced?

Ok I'll watch it again

[@vk2aafhamradio]

Good stuff, Maddie!

[@lukedaunt4434]

I have a question regarding the rising cost of public charging. It’s really putting me off looking at electric. Firstly there is the far higher cost of the car but now in many counties it’s costing more to charge than a fossil fuel fill. Massive mistake here. What are your thoughts? Paying more up front for cheaper running costs make sense but paying more all round is a major turn off. It’s now purely an environmental choice which will hinder growth or stop it in its tracks.

[@peterjol]

I do think all the companies should work together and produce a totally standard method of charging with no noticeable differences for the consumer to work out at all.

[@mikeyonwin8195]

Hi Peter. Welcome to the world of commercial competition. It reminds me of the VCR developments of Ampex, Toshiba, Philips, Sony, RCA, Sanyo, Panasonic, Funai, Technicolor, JVC, Matsushita etc. It took ages before an international standard emerged. I do, however, agree with you - this is the 21st Century after all 😜.

[@markcayer4859]

Great short, sharable version of your fantastic 6 part series. Remember for those not in the UK look around for your own national or regional resources to get info more specific to where you live. Here in Canada that would be www.plugndrive.ca/ to get info on EV models available in Canada, rebates which may be available on new and used EV purchases as well as info on our national Plug'n'drive test centre in North York ON.

[@user-in1gn6fw2eab]

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

There are more charging points than petrol stations in the UK? That's a surprise. In the US there are around 80000 charge points and about 168000 gas stations. Of course, to be fair, if you also add all of the places you can just plug in to a (slow) electrical outlet then the charging points run into the millions for both places. (That last bit is the part that gas/petrol-heads conveniently forget to mention when criticizing EV adoption).

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Interesting that in the US the cables are permanently attached to the charge point (destination) but in the UK you bring your own cable. The good part about that is that your cable is probably more likely to stay in good condition than if you have thousands of other people using it.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Wait...You can choose your electric utilities company? Logistically, how does that work? What entity is your house connected to for power? If you choose another company do they reroute your house to another physical electricity supplier? In the US basically your electricity supplier is determined by what area you live in, and the suppliers (utility company) has a long-term contract with the local government to be the sole supplier in that area.

[@GajitUK]

@@JustWasted3HoursHere Your house is connected to the National Grid. It's actually generally unlikely that the energy you consume will generated by the company you pay, but the UK wholesale energy market works such that the company you pay will either generate or buy enough energy into the grid to cover your use. That leaves us broadly free to pick and choose from any company we like. I have to say I find the American way of doing it peculiar. For the land of the free you seem to have a surprising lack of freedom to choose your utility providers!

[@philipleetham309]

V good presentation apart from costs ££££££ ??

[@sowtrue8827]

those circuit breakers are made in China, in brand name CHNT! In fact, serious buyers of electric car only care about the capacity of the battery. Anything left is called add-on only.

[@guantou2520]

My new favourite lady

[@KalanYore]

Why not also include hydrogen combustion vehicles not just electric like Stanley Meyer's fuel cell technology electrolysis to make your own HHO fuel in a modified combustion engines that required stainless steel component to prevent rust damage along with a smart subsystem... unless it is the very same line of Nikola Tesla's electric car that did not require a battery or battery storage as the energy is free to use that exists all around us within the Earth and in the atmosphere - he also demonstrated on the very first RC sailboat model he modified using the same technology to direct the model boat?!? There is also Troy Reed's electromagnetic surge motor engine that worked only had the standard 12v car battery to operate redundant systems was also recharged by the technology within the Geo Metro compact care he had converted...

[@fullychargedshow]

This is a beginners guide; and there are no Hydrogen FCEVs commercially available to buy in the UK for less than £60,000.

[@gordonross8524]

I’d love to buy an EV but I park my car on the street in front of my house. It’s a quiet street. To charge from home I’d need to run a cable over the public pavement. Do people do this? Is it legal? I assume it’s do it at your own risk?

[@jwharvey7167]

An interesting video. Well presented but sadly lacking in the details as to what are your costs involved for the lease of the car and the home charging station. Did you find a better power supplier? I'm afraid that the combined costs combined are going to be out of reach for many that are considering the move to an EV car.

[@danielmcdougall6662]

Exactly she must spend about 50k in this video

[@fullychargedshow]

@@danielmcdougall6662 You didn't watch it did you. She leased the car, got the charger free with a Govt grant, switched energy supplier for free, and just looked at the other technology for future reference.

[@danielmcdougall6662]

@@fullychargedshow look I really enjoy her presenting style and I watched episode 2 in full. In this quick format it looked like she spent a heck of a lot of money. Must have missed the line about it being a lease and it looked like she had had solar panels installed at the end. Look I love your content, something about his video irked me though. Even when she uses a charge point for the first time and it's easy, I dont know any ev owners who have had the experience, the second time using one was much more realistic. Keep up the good work anyway

[@Dralonet]

Whats wrong with the girl that says 50kw is the top dog. I would consider 50 kw emergency charger if I cant find a 150kw.

[@tjsean0308]

lots of cars still have 50kW as the max fast charge current. Mine included.

[@tomcat124us]

That's a nice Destination / Home Charger. Which handles 90-95% of people's daily needs. The higher currents are for traveling longer distances or locations that can't or won't offer higher power outlets. Apartments/Flats. Houses with curb side parking.

[@TC-tn9tb]

I'll get an electric car maybe in 5 years time when the infrastructure is sorted and charge times are lower, I can't wait an hour for a charge

[@geralddavison]

I had similar concerns, but I realised that in fact I could charge it every night at home (I have off street parking - I know that not everyone does). So in fact it actually SAVES me time. No more visits to petrol stations (for 99% of the time). It's very rare that I do more than around 120 miles in one day. I realise this might not be your situation. I've done a few long journeys in my 2019 Leaf. I plan the stops for Rapid charges around toilet/coffee/meal breaks and it's been no hassle. Virtually no waiting around. I made one timing cock up once, which resulted in an unexpected 40 mins in a motorway services..... that's it - the only hassle I've had in five months of running an EV. It's difficult to explain this to someone who hasn't experienced it. It's a change in mindset and operating method - but that doesn't mean less efficient or more hassle - just a different way of thinking.

[@fullychargedshow]

Depends by country/region, but in 100,000+ miles of electric driving I haven't had a single problem. The 'infrastructure issue' is mainly a media myth. Thanks, Fully Charged Dan

It's beyond stupid to use a set of batteries to charge the battery pack in your car. There needs to be easy changeable battery packs that one can stay at home during the day to charge. Then on trips you can have quick change batteries the whole way, so you never have to stop longer than the time to swap them out if there's an available charged battery pack ready.

[@colinfarrow9971]

Since when is 7kw fast charging? what century are we in? You are kidding right? My 2012 LEAF home charger did way better. My Tesla's are miles beyond that. What a joke. Only a noob would believe that is fast charging.

[@fullychargedshow]

That's what it is termed in the UK. Dates back to it being the first faster charging, clearly it is very slow compared to what is now available. Thanks.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hmmm... As soon as I saw she was using an Apple laptop I knew everything I needed to know about buying an electric vehicle. Step 1: Have money. Step 2: Drive home and enjoy! Nothing wrong with having money and spending it on things you like, but why must the alternative (still) be pedalling a ruddy bicycle? With the improvements made in batteries and motors since the 1980s I'm sure Clive Sinclair could come up with something affordable.

[@Krylle]

Why are you even here? It's a programme about buying a car, and you get offended by them showing you the steps to take and things to consider in the process. That's kind of bizarre.

[@Krylle]

@Ross Bourne Agree! And the content must be 100% suitable for their needs and wantings.

[@matthewwatt2295]

Those are the same two steps as buying a normal car! 😂
