maybe a "living with an EV" video?

Y'know, you're very right. Point 1 I said all the way at the tail end of the video, but that should've been in the first ten seconds

I like it. I wish you had clarified two points earlier in the video: 1. Using rapid chargers is not the norm. 2. In much the same way people rarely pull into a gas station just as the last drop of fuel is being used, you would rarely charge from 0%. I think that one of the image problems with EVs is that people don't realize that they will not normally being charging away from their homes (unless, of course, like me they live in an apartment without chargers)

Well crap. You're right! I'mma change it

Probably not important but there's a minor mistake at 1:25, it says EVSE stands for Electric Vehicle Special Equipment but the S is for Supply. I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it except the stated goal of the video is for educating people!

I just went to a Ford dealer with three low mileage gently used Mach Es. I bet something similar happened. EA (and the general shoddy implementation of rapid charging in general) is going to ruin EVs for a lot of people

As someone who works in the industry- nailed it!

I wish you did this three months ago before my friend bought his MachE. I told him the ride home from Kansas City to St. Paul after picking up his car would be frustrating with him hitting EA stations while I was able to use Tesla SCs. He was very close to returning the car after that trip.
