Awesome Tips EV Charging Is About To Amp Up in 2024
More charging stations in more places with even better compatibility and, of course, more electric cars to choose from — 2024 is shaping up to be a very interesting year for the electrification of America’s roads.

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
I was surprised by the simplicity of the EVGo network for charging, it's very much like Tesla Charging in that all you need to do is connect and start charging and you account is auto-billed. It's the easiest non-Tesla network I have yet used.
It it cost more to charge than a corolla hybrid to fuel up, there isn't much point to the Fast chargers.
Exiting times for EVs. I just hope they can get charging together as it's the worst part about an EV at the moment
NOPE. These cars AREN'T SELLING. It's recently been reported they have EIGHTY PERCENT MORE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS than gas cars. They use toxic batteries & slave labor. & the more of these need to be charged the more grids will suffer BLACKOUTS. US electrical infrastructure is a joke. Oh, notice this guy didn't mentioned these area all powered by BURNING COAL!
Those new Volvos are going to be a game changer. They'll be as affordable as the Bolt but with better charging speeds. There are almost no new EVs that are that cheap anymore.
If they do it right it'll end up being the Corolla of EVs.
More fires 🤣😂😜😝🤔😅😄😃😀
All the Legacy auto manufacturers are too stuck in a rut and can't quite make an acceptable EV. Many are going to outright fail, if not all of them. The Aptera may be the best as far as self-powering cars go, but won't take off without a massive scale-up. The standard-type EVs are being led by Tesla and China's BYD. The rest will fall to the wayside until they can revamp their production.
"The Most Anticipated EVs of 2023" – Why are we anticipating cars from last year?
vw announced it would be using nacs two weeks ago…
Wow, an EV piece that's actually positive!
I've had a Tesla for about 7 years now and I can tell you that driving 172 miles from town to town, charging still sucks. Now since there are more tesla model y and 3 on the road all the chargers are full and even if there is a spot everyone at the charger is lowered in the amount of power they consume. So, if you sit at the charger back int 2018 to charge it would take me 40 min to full and now with everyone else charging it's more like an hour and half. Now that is to get me to about 80 percent. Now you're probably thinking well just charge it enough to make the trip. The issue with that is that some place that you stay don't have a charger for your car. And if you stay somewhere longer than a day that means you can't go anywhere while you stay. There is a long way to go before the grid can keep up with this demand.
I hate his lisp
Bucee's already has Tesla chargers.
I will get one when they are chargable at every gas station. And they charge to at least 80 percent in under 10 minutes.

Every charger that has ccs HAS TO HAVE NACS, as it is becoming a standard in U.S
How come nobody mentions the durability and the cost of tires for EVs?
Looks like Holiday Joe, left this card for the election year, instead of coming earlier… of was there a real credable reason for the EV roll out?
this guy sucks 👎🏻
These EVs are not worth the price. Nor is the battery technology good for hot environments like the tropics. If you look at Lithium ion UPSs they have a specific range for operating temperatures. They can not be used in hot temps without degrading quicker, nor can they be used in the cold like Maine.
New battery tech needs to be invented.
Everyone wants EVs & everyone is buying EVs
Total fantasy. Here's a pro tip. If your job in any way touches the EV industry; don't spend money, don't buy a house or use credit cards. Save your money and prepare for a long winter. You can join the rest of the people that live in reality when you're ready, but until then, be wise with your cash. EV's are cool, and a toy. I have one, and it's pretty sweet. But come back to reality if your think they have a different place than my golf cart or atv in our lives. Time to get real.
We hear this same thing every year. We aren't buying it.
No more Bolts. Production ended and the Blazer is slow to develope max distribution.
$36k is not affordable
no one is buying these evs
Volkswagen already committed to NACS.
Thank you for the "tap-to-pay".
They can build all the chargers they want. I'm not interested.
There is no point in buying an EV in California as PGE has raised prices in ‘24 to make it equivalent to owning an ICE. I’m going back to ICE once my free EA charging is up.
300 miles is paltry for evacuating from hurricanes. They need to improve battery technology to atleast 700.
CNET and MKBHD want us to drive a plastic box with a battery, living in 15min cities lol
These range claims don't take into account cold weather's effect on batteries. Reduce the range by 25-%33%.
can't wait! stop talking and do it!
When I was a kid, I used to be a try-hard. I would try to make different products popular, I'd try to make words I made up popular. Nothing took. I realized, you'd need to be a celebrity to make that happen with a well-funded, clever ad campaign, and even that's not a guarantee. Secondly, your stuff just has to work and be better. It has to be smarter.
When I see EVs, I'm reminded of how I used to be and how kids are today and were back then. Certain people just want to make it happen because of the media and misinformation. Some people think EVs are new. Some think they're hi-tech. Some think that because it has no engine, not much fluids, doesn't make a noise or emit anything, it's better.
It's just not. It has serious issues. They shouldn't be sold to the public. A lot of EV drivers are smug and think they are smarter than everyone but they're just waiting to learn the hard way.
ICE cars are annoying, I won't lie. But they work and get the job done. They can last for decades if taken care of. I love new tech but am not a fan of EVs. I was actually considering getting one when Bolts were cheap. I noped out of it. Way too many red flags came up I didn't even think of before I even saw the listing. It's just not worth it. Without all the hype and the lies, no one would touch them if they had a brain.
I feel like EVs will end up like ultrawides again. You'll see people quietly dropping them and even the diehards will be muttering quietly something like "I had kids" or "I went on too many road trips and I couldn't make it work…"
They haven't even been able to make hybrids standard after two decades. I don't think that's happening either.
Cool vid. Thx for making. I enjoyed watching. BTW, three of those NEVI sites already opened in December.
Glad to see systematic approach to it. Looking forward to doing cross country in couple of years on EV.
Stop trying to sell it. People do not want electric.
0:45 I guess this was recorded before VAG announced in early December about them joining the NACS (SAE J3400) standard.
my problem is I want 350+ miles consistently because it takes so long to charge but that’s just an unrealistic expectation
The only large EV charging company which has not sucked so far is Tesla. The other big EV charging companies like EA and EVgo only care about how many new charging locations they can install. They do not care at all about keeping their existing charging stations working, nor about all the inconvenience and stupidity with trying to connect to one of their very few working chargers. Allowing non-Tesla vehicles to charge at Tesla will run some of the other charging companies out of business. (No, I am not a Tesla fan. Elon is a bigot.)
