I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    Until the government successfully establishes a standard charge port (republicans go “reeeeeeeee!”) then I will want a out in hybrid that can still use gas in an emergency. I have never found a compatible charger for my Chevy Volt, but I can still road trip since my gas tank will take me hundreds of miles. Daily driving though? Never use a drop. I even keep my gas at 1/4 tank just to save a couple lbs of weight because I can charge it in the normal outlet in my garage.

    Price-wise, I got it used, 4 years old for 20k. I think you can get a 2017 now for about 10-15k so they’re not crazy pricey

      I suppose that one could hypothetically tow a trailer-mounted generator.

      Assuming you’re in North America, the North American Charging Standard (NACS) is now a thing and manufacturers are starting to move to it.
