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. An adapter like this is a must-carry for non-Tesla EV drivers. See what I like and critically don’t like about this particular adapter. ShockFlo Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/3ibhX0z Use…
From Josh Charles. Non-Tesla electric vehicle drivers should carry a Tesla to J1772 adapter. I review the Lectron 48A Tesla to J1772 adapter that allows you to charge any EV on Tesla destination or mobile chargers. It’s a great backup option for charging on the go and something every driver should keep in their vehicle.…
From Josh Charles. This is my DIY installation of the Elon Musk signature edition Tesla charger in my garage. Upgrade your EV charging speed by wiring up a dedicated charger. While you can do it yourself, it’s always recommended to contact a licensed electrician for this work. This is a re-upload of my original 2019…

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.…
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…
From Josh Charles. I road trip my Chevy Bolt EV over 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania to Illinois. What is fast charging like in 2022? Did Electrify America fail me? How did I plan the trip? Was it a terrible trip? I explain my overall experience, the challenges I experienced, and future improvements that need to…
From Josh Charles. I review the new Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Home 40A Level 2 EV Charger. This smart EVSE includes unique features and is a fantastic value and, I think, high-quality charger.

This is a follow-up to my previous outlet installation video here: https://youtu.be/_HLGZ4K75n0 Take my Charging Survey and be entered…

From Josh Charles. I converted a very inexpensive Tesla Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) to a J1772 plug for my Chevy Bolt or any non-Tesla EV. The UMC is an awesome electric car charger and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to build a custom one. If you are interested in one of these, please contact me…
From Josh Charles. Installing a 50 Amp NEMA 14-50 outlet for 240V (Level 2) electric vehicle charging can be relatively simple, quick, and inexpensive. This is how I installed one a few feet below the electric panel at our family’s beach house. Be sure to watch my follow-up video before attempting this project: @ Take…
From Josh Charles. We took the Ford Mustang Mach-E on a road trip to my dad (a lifelong mechanic). Is it a good EV? What’s it like to drive? Is it exciting? What about charging? Is it a real Mustang? These were the questions we answered during our trip around the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania.…
From Josh Charles. Is a coal-powered Tesla electric car dirtier than an ICE car? Vehicle CO2 emissions are a big deal. I examine the numbers on ICE vs EV emissions with surprising results along the way.
