Electric Car Charging Is A Mess For New Electric Car Owners
As the electric car craze sweeps more and more Americans, shoppers are taking home the latest and "best" electric cars at five-figure dealer markups above the suggested retail price. We saw a $30,000 markup on RAV4 Prime. Electric car shoppers are also experiencing countless troubles to bring home their new beauty. Social media is flooded with posts from frustrated early adopters who ordered the exact color, decoration, and packaging combination six months ago, only to find that the vehicle that arrived at the dealership was not their choice. Owners of Chevrolet Bolt EUV found that due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, the model’s two top-of-the-line functions Super Cruise and its multi-function mobile charger could not be delivered. All these frustrations pale in comparison to the hassle of charging newbies.
What voltage? What should we call the voltage provided in our home? 220, 230 or 240 volts? Which is the correct nomenclature? No one will agree. No one will consistently refer to the power supply in your home as anything. Not an electrician (we asked some). Of course, not the people who write about electric cars (we asked them). Even the employees of the power company could not agree (we asked some). Officially, it doesn't matter. In any case, the rated voltage in your home is nominal. If you pull out the voltmeter and measure the voltage provided to your location, it will be different from the neighbor's house in the next town. Or even in the same town. It is a nominal voltage, as long as it is within a certain range, its change has nothing to do with actual use. Choose your favorite number and hope to be corrected by other electric car owners.
What socket and what plug? Now we are entering the good part. Many EV owners bought a new electric car for only US$60,000, plus US$375, and let Jethro put another layer of clear coating on the local detail store to protect the factory’s clear coating. They are doing their best Try not to install a suitable electric vehicle charging device (or EVSE if you are in that camp, please set it up).
