Sucks that they didn't make it the same length as the Tesla charger. I have to stretch mine across my garage so one that's 6 inches shorter won't work for me. Too bad, I really wanted the faster charging time. Oh well.
@@DrewsReviews2023 It would be more convenient for me also but spending over $500 for 4 to 5 miles a charge more per hour ain't worth it to me. Maybe the next version will be longer when they realize making it shorter cuts a lot of potential customers out of the equation.
Appreciate the comment. If Tesla was against this faster charging why would they offer a wall charger for the home for $500 that charges even faster than this? I would suspect they would not sell a charger they believe to be damaging to the car.
@@DrewsReviews2023 Tesla is for sure not against. Why would they? The batterie will still survive their guarantee so no problem for oems. 40 amps is just half C so battery is basically fine with it. What i meant is more a general info that can be used if you want to take care of your batterie and enhance your batteries life. I have had massive lipos and lion accus in use for competition since end of 20th century (before they were installed in laptops and phones) and have thousands of charging and discharge curves until the latest iterations. You can kill them in less than 100 charging processes and also extand the battery life to survive the car by a lot. Of course the OEMs take care and dont let you really harm the batterie but the user still is a good portion of the health status. Loading them slow is just one but the easiest part you can do if you care. I would never use any supercharger. Loading an evc fast is not an argument for me at all. If anyone expect and need to fuel their evc in 20 min all the time than i would advice to think over the drivetrain you purchased. Its just my take but little bit offtopic now. :)
@SSC0815 interesting. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing. I was aware superchargers are not ideal for every charge which is why they are meant primarily for long trips. Always appreciate when experts comment on the channel to make us all smarter.
I've seen the argument made that constantly slow charging the battery is worse then a shorter charge at 32-48 amps. Less time exposing the battery to the heat caused by charging. Don't know how much truth is behind it if any.
Thanks for the video. The term you should be using is NEMA 14-50 plug as the 110v you mention is also known as NEMA 5-15.
Good to know! Thanks for the help and the comment!
Tesla's portable charger is 32 amps not 30.
Thanks for clarifying.

They also sell a 20 ft cable extender which I am going to pickup so I can reach anywhere in my garage or driveway.
@@DrewsReviews2023 Isn't the cable extender almost as much at the charger itself?
@xyzxyz6406 yes, but I plan to scoop it up for the convenience factor.

@xyzxyz6406 certainly a valid point.
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the comment!
Loading batterie faster = degenerating it faster. Simple. Load as slow as possible respecting your usecase.

@nathanbaker6033 interesting. I should probably look into the data.
