Selecting the correct type of rapid charger for your particular car is important for a stress free longer journey - in this video I talk about how to find a charger and the three main types of connector you'll find on a typical public rapid charger - CCS, Chademo and Type 2 AC.

    Genuinely useful for a newcomer to EV, thanks for the clarity in the 43kw type 2
  • @sallymoore21
    I have been researching charging whilst waiting for my first EV and wish I'd seen this sooner! I've been trying to charge my car for the first time today, out and about, and flunked. Thanks for sharing this. It's really helpful.
  • @davidmparkes
    Brilliant, that cleared up the difference between the AC/DC charge points for me. Thanks. Im in the process of getting a new company vehicle and it will have an onboard 11kw AC charger, so now I finally understand what the onboard charger does and I understand the difference in chargers and cables. Well done, very, very helpful.
  • @emgeemet
    Thank you so much! My mother has just got her first electric car and it has been a learning curve. This is so helpful ❤
  • Very useful video, new EV driver here and it's nice to have someone go through it as you do.
  • Thanks - I've had my Polestar 2 for a few weeks and thought I had my head round it but this was extremely informative and has probably saved me some head scratching and 6 hour services stops. Thanks!
  • @Wincey99
    Like most I’m due to get my first all electric car soon and starting from scratch regarding learning the connector types is just what I needed, thanks
  • @mikesl1573
    I have had an ev for over 3 years and I charge at home 99% of the time and have always used a CCS when at public chargers and did not know that the type 2 even though it might state 22kwh will only charge at 7kwh as cars that except DC charge will be limited to 7kwh AC. Very helpful 🎉
  • After getting my first ev this video has given me some great insight, thanks for sharing
  • With this hot weather my millage forecast on my screen is showing well over 220 miles range! I only drive around town and village and hardly drive over the speed of 40/50 mph. Again many thanks for the information you show us! Yeah I have got my MG now, have had her since November last year and I love it!
  • @marktyers69
    That was a really clear explanation. I was confused about the fast AC option and you explained it really well
  • @alancarlyon3928
    I am learning a lot from your blogs which will help me when I receive my car in thee weeks time! Many thanks for your time in posting important info
  • @quincee3376
    Thank you. I live in Canada but i love the way you explained the choices.
  • @avidviewer1
    I found this a really interesting and helpful video. I've been driving various EVs for almost two years and thanks to you now understand the difference between AC and DC charging (which has always puzzled me). Thanks!
  • A first rate explanation. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video.
  • @TheJackKennedyM
    so your saying i shouldnt have stormed away from the charging point like a giant kid, i just had the wrong cable! Thank you!!
  • @jewelly9005
    Great information for someone like myself new to EVs. Thanks
  • @benjimc1
    I am getting an EV and didn't realise this about Type 2, explains why i got really slow charging the other day when i had one for the weekend!
