I have always noticed that JayD has a different mindset when it comes to cars. Man is on his own level. Driving a nano on highway trips, restoring cars and long travels with an EV. Always out of the comfort zone ❤ Keep motoring JayD.

[@Ordinaryperson1986]

Load is also very important factor.. Most important point is never charge above 85% in a fast charger and value others time if they are waiting

[@arun_95]

Talking cars , please come back ! ❤

[@ajinsam]

Great info about using EVs in day to day life.

[@Jaydsgarage]

Glad it’s helpful!

[@DevanandK]

I completely agree about HP & BPCL chargers. I've had multiple issues with offline chargers from both these companies. I usually stick to Zeon in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Jio, Chargezone and Shell chargers are also good. I've not had much issues with Tata Power chargers in Maharashtra and Karnataka - charging speed is ok since I have a nexon ev prime. Also, getting the RFID cards for these commonly used charge providers is a game changer. Where possible, you can also setup auto-charge where once you plug in the charger will recognize your car and automatically start charging (no need for RFID or fiddling with app - but there should be money in the wallet). This is available with Tata power, zeon and jio as far as I know.

[@Amor_fati.Memento_Mori]

Considering the recent controversy about KSEB's Solar Pricing system. Do you recommend people who planned to install a Solar Panels in their home and buy an EV.

[@sharonishere4322]

Very informative. Thanks JD.

[@alwinjohn6164]

Absolute delight and helpful with today's video and also conveyed socially relevant and responsible aspects. Thank you for session from a Nexon Ev user. Also eagerly waiting to see your personal message to meet you at Kottayam just we spoke on last episode. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@Jaydsgarage]

😊😊

[@JITINJOSEPH17]

Regarding charger etiquettes, those points should be displayed on the board near the charger. Actually, a staff should be there to tell people to stop charging after 80%. Maybe impose a double fee if charging above 80%.

[@svXPs]

It's all depends on usage. If you really need 100% for reaching the next charger, flat charging of double payment after 80% is bad.

[@krishnankuttythoranath2377]

Very useful and educating. Keep going.🎉

[@Jaydsgarage]

Thank you! 😃

[@vysakh9799]

You forget to mention the 16A Extension cable needed along with the wall charger for long trips.

[@Jaydsgarage]

Yes! Wanted to mention that too!

Very detailed & useful for a EV user/prospect. Hats off to u for taking the plunge 3 years ago. I would like to know how is the range during a night drive, assume the route is Bengaluru - Kochin.

[@Jaydsgarage]

I don’t drive at night , so wouldn’t be able to comment on it. Should be slightly better due to lesser heat and lighter AC load

[@niligiritahr]

@@Jaydsgarage Tks for your reply, I thought the lights would drain the charge faster, anyway happy & safe motoring.

[@soorajksmenon]

JD bro could you also share details on home charging options? your preference etc.. There are multiple options like Portable 7.2, Fixed 7.2 etc.. Very confusing!

[@amalbaugustine3622]

Very informative episode. Really helped to know more about ev. 😊

[@nitheeshudayan]

How repeatedly can one use a fast charger continuously in charging ...? Is there any mandatory recommendations in usage of fast chargers...?For how many continuous charging cycles can we use fast chargers ?... Does prolonged usage of fast charger affect battery life

[@DevanandK]

I can provide a response based on my experience. I have a nexon ev prime 2022. I've driven it from Mumbai to my home in Kerala and back 3 times (about 1400km one way). I've done 9 continuous fast charges on such trips without any issues. However, I must point out that tata recommends one full slow charge after every 4 fast charges or so.

[@Jaydsgarage]

Slow charge whenever possible and FC only when needed. That’s the only practical advice I can give tbh. Manufacturer will recommend one SC after every couple of FC but that might not always be possible on long trips

[@harigith235]

ChargeMod is iffy almost always, probably because they're using kseb stations. But their customer support is really good. Also is it just me or do others also lift up the charge cable near the port for easier config and connectivity?

[@saranmanchester]

Thank you it was very useful. Booked a punch EV yesterday

Depends on which one. And battery has to be checked before getting it.

How many kilometers have you finish yet

[@viveka7173]

Good information. But according to me the best technology which is convenient, simple and practical is the strong hybrid technology used in maruti and toyota. EVs are more complicated and stressful than hybrids.

[@Jaydsgarage]

The equivalent car to this would be the Hyryder/ Grand vitara and those are extremely boring to drive. I’d rather spend more , fill petrol and drive something that is half decent on the highway, anyday.
