Courtesy is a big deal. You try to leave the spot once you're done charging. Some stations may apply idle fees. It's weird when the place is pretty empty when you go in for a restroom/snack break and you come out 15 minutes later and the chargers are packed.
@@lawrencewittenbergii4309 I understand that's not the case for the newer Bolts, 2022 and newer. There are videos of Bolt owners already trying it out without going to any dealer.
If it's not the adapter coming directly from GM that you order from them, then it's a "knock off" as you said. Ergo, this one is a knock off. Same with the A2Z one. Both might be the "better" ones that are out there, but still knock offs all the same. If you use one of these and an issue occurs, you are completely liable. All the manufacturers can't test all the different adapters that are being made. They are making the one they want you to use in conjunction with Tesla so it is properly compatible. These others may work just fine for the most part, but if it doesn't one time, you will be liable. It would be wise to mention these disclaimers in your video.
Good to see that Chevy put the charge port on the Silverado in the right location for superchargers. It's odd that they haven't done this for other new vehicles like the Equinox. Maybe next year.
There is no such thing as level 3. It's called DC fast charging. Level 1 is 120 volt, level 2 is 240 volt, then DC fast charging and it has different levels 1 up to 400kw & 2 above 401kw. The Megawatt standard is not finished or set yet.😊
@JeepsOnTheRun This is no time to be using "slang" for EV terms. That is similar to people calling EVSE'S chargers! The AC onboard charger is in the vehicle, and it determines how much power the ev can max charge on level two, not the EVSE = Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. They are just smart power cords, and some are smart units that can do many things like wifi, time of use, and V to X, etc. We need to use the correct terms so we know the difference between a carburetor and electronic fuel injection. Good thing GM has the option of 19.2 kw AC onboard charger to fill those 240+ kwh battery packs. Good luck, and I will check out some more of your videos.
Using an after market adapter will void your warranty if the system fails. GM will confirm purchase date. I have a Hummer EV SUV and will not risk it. @jeeps on the run... You need to tell people this. You are doing this for views and not for the customer benefit. Not cool. Buyers beware of this. The dealership should have told this dude about the warranty issue. Some many issue here that need to be made transparent.
@@davejones1959 the announcement about that came out after this video. I do literally state that this isn't a GM approved adaptor in the video. While your right, I feel the risk is very minimal, and again it's stated in the video.
@@JeepsOnTheRun I believe it is safe as well, However my Hummer was 109K and I will not risk voiding the warranty. GM will know if you purchased the adapter through the MY GMC App and will play hardball if the charging module is damaged in the field. Proof of purchase, of the approved adapter, will be required if submitting a warranty claim. GM will verify purchase date of approved adapter. Not worth the risk to save 30 bucks. Just let your viewers know that should not use any aftermarket adapter until a certified unit is available for purchase or just stick with GM unit. Simple as that. Looking out for fellow EVers,
@@davejones1959 I can't say I disagree with any of that thought process. Again this was released before thay was announced. I agree, I wouldn't save 50 bucks for that situation either. @davejones1959
This is exciting!
Game changing for sure!
Tesla owners will be happy that this GM model has the charging port on the “right side”
Agreed!!!
Or on the front passenger side for people who tow.
@@MrEboogy2009 Charging and towing will for sure be an issue.
Great test! Thanks for the video
@@Vxvx22 thanks for watching!
Are you a Chevrolet EV owner?
FYI, you can only use the V3 and V4 Supercharger stations. If the dispensers only have labels of A & B, they're V1 or V2 stations.

Bolt owners will have to go to the dealer for a software update before they can use the Superchargers.

@@lawrencewittenbergii4309 good way to tell the difference. I didn't know that.

Seems like a good sturdy product
It for sure is!
works well :)

Agreed.. Maybe at some point there will be a industry standard.
Great video. Thank you.
Most welcome!
What EV do you own?
Chevy and rivian 😂
@@EastG123 Awesome!!
It would be nice to have this feature apply to all the Tesla chargers and not just the v3 ones. I guess this applies to the chevy bolt.
Agreed... But baby steps :)

@@davidws5439 fair enough. I always use level 3 as 'slang'
