How to Charge Your EV Without a Driveway

From Josh Charles. DC Fast Chargers aren’t a good solution for daily EV charging, and most curbside charging options don’t work well either. On-street electric vehicle charging is needed, but today’s options are ugly, large, expensive, and inconvenient. My company, Coul St., is solving this with a new type of EV charger: https://www.coulst.com Sources: [1]…

Tesla can Charge the Rest

From Josh Charles. Review of the ShockFlo Tesla to J1772 (Type 1) 48 Amp adapter. Charge any electric vehicle (EV) using a Tesla destination or wall charger.

My First Year EV Savings

From Josh Charles. High gas prices have people considering electric vehicles as an inflation hedge. How much did I save driving my 2020 Chevy Bolt EV for the past year? Did it beat my old Subaru WRX and how would it compare against a new Honda Civic? Hint, it was worth it – for me.…

A Better Option for Apartment EV Charging: Orange Charger

From Josh Charles. Multi family, apartment, and rental electric vehicle (EV) charging is rare or often non-existent. Orange Charger is changing the EV charging game with their low-cost 120v or 240v smart outlet with billing and power usage features. I’ve had a NEMA 6-20 Orange Charger for a while and want to show you how…

Problems Road Tripping my non-Tesla EV?
