Are YOU tired of having to charge your car by letting the current pass through your body? <cut to man getting electrocuted> 

What body part do you have to inset to make the connection? Is some kind of adapter required?

I love the direction you've gone with the electric videos, a serious question. My MIL is taking delivery of a nissan leaf this month and the FIL is looking at a Tesla or Merc EQC, what home charger would you recommend? @Kiltox

Is the Leaf new? 

Assuming it is, all of those cars will be Type 2.  They’re also all capable of scheduling their own charging (unlike my MG was) so you don’t need to go too extra on the charger itself. 

It then comes down to whether you want tethered or untethered and how important aesthetics are. 

PodPoint make a cheapish, reliable charger but it’s a bit bulky and ugly. 

EO make very small, slick looking units but they’re only really good for untethered - you lose the advantage of it being small if you have a cable permanently attached 

HyperVolt are a newcomer that people are making a lot of noise about. Bit blingy but well featured. 

Avoid BP Pulse (huge waiting times and shit customer service) and Rolec (poor quality)

Yeah both cars will be brand new. I'm 99% sure he'll go with an untethered option. Thanks 

In that case he will need a cable, my friends at Max Green make a range of….. 😉

are you gonna compare cables with others?

10 mins plugged in it tranferred this type thing

or is that too nerd

 

There wouldn’t be any difference. As long as they’re rated the same (32A) they’ll charge at the same rate.

The only difference might be that one of them may be on fire.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to sell gold plated rapid flow charger cables for increased electron flow or some shite for 5x the price.

They did this with expensive HDMI cables and the fact it was gold plated or was teflon insulated made 0 different compared to the amazon basics ones as it's a digital signal.

Have you met EV drivers? 

Someone posted on one of the big FB groups the other day that they work for a charity and the chargers at a site they look after are being abused - PodPoint that gives you a 15 min grace period to confirm the charge in the app. People are sitting there charging for 15 mins for free, unplugging then plugging back in to avoid paying.

I guess they are but only the wanks you describe bother to talk about it on the internet.
