So I'm going to have to use the included J1772 adapter to charge the Tesla with my Grizzl-E, it's probably not a bad idea to buy a second one so I can still keep one with the car, right? The tesla wall charger is hardwire only, right? I don't really want to bother doing that I don't think.

Tesla HPWC can be pig tailed, but it requires a little more work than just hard wiring and you lose some charging speed because of it (40A max instead of 48A) if you do which is why nobody ever does that. If you wanted to stick it on a 14-50 outlet just buy the corded mobile connector instead since it costs less, the one with the permanent 14-50 plug on it since those also go to 40A. The real bizarre twist is that for L2 EVSE units, the Tesla HPWC at $495 US is one of the least expensive units out there that can do 11.5 kW. Same for the gen 2 mobile connector, at $275 it is also less expensive than just about any other mobile EVSE that can do 7.6 kW. My guess for why they are less expensive than alternative J1772 units is because Tesla moves hundreds of times the volume and has a big economy of scale advantage.

I would suggest getting one, especially if your EV charges at speeds greater than 6kW since most J1772 destination chargers max out at that speed from my experience at least. The adapter's AC only.

I would get one if you need to charge at public L2 stations as anything more than a convenience. I came across a lot of situations where Tesla was all that was available, or the J-1772 plug was in use at a mixed charging spot at hotels or spots where I had to charge to hit my next destination. The mini tesla tap is small enough that you can just shove it in your glove box or something. It even fits in the EV6 "frunk"!

MrYenko posted:I’m excited to see what they do with with an EV Corvette, but I really can’t bring myself to be excited for a hybrid. I feel like for a performance car, I want something with a pure experience, and no amount of engineer man-hours tuning motor cut-in and torque balancing is going to improve that. We value the imperfections in the experience almost as much as the strengths. Give me an EV Corvette that only has 190mi of range and no trunk but can beat a Tesla S Plaid from a dig/on a road course instead of a hybrid that gets 29mpg and otherwise is a regular C8 any day of the week. I dunno dude, the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 Hybrid are both really good. Also Formula 1 cars.

I have a Harley LiveWire motorcycle in Scotland. At home I have a Zappi type 2 tethered 7kw charger that charges the bike at 1.5kw because that's the max the bike can charge at on AC. When I am out and about, I can use public type 3 tethered CCS chargers to charge at DC at 25kw, that's the max the bike can charge at on DC. I cannot use most public type 2 chargers in the UK as they are untethered, and the charging cable that comes with the bike (which lives under the seat of the bike) isn't a type 2 to type 2; it's a type 2 to UK domestic 3 pin socket. I want to buy a 2 metre long type 2 to type 2 cable so I can use public type 2 untethered chargers. Not sure if I should get the 16a or 32a version: https://evcables.com/collections/type-2/products/type-2-to-type-2-ev-charging-cable?variant=41393166123188 I.e. will the 16a (thinner gauge cable) work on 32a single phase type 2 public chargers, or will it go "your cable is too thin, nope"? Ideally I'd like the thinner one so it's easier to place under the seat of the bike.

If the bike's max charge rate is 1.5 kw go with the 16A cable, the charger ha s no way of knowing what gauge the cable is, so as long as it's rated to the max current the bike can draw you're good.

Perfect, thank you, now I just hope the cable will fit under the bike seat (it should, the existing cable has a fat adapter box on it and that fits in fine...).

Toyota is inexperienced, is trying to maximize warranty and has a huge buffer. I think he said he only put in about 60kwh out of a 72kwh pack. They say 0-80 in an hour but it seems worse than that? Not sure if he said how long it took him to get to 80%, which is kind of important to know. The Panasonic battery is way better but in the U.S. at least, only the FWD gets it.

EV media needs to get over this Toyota is anti EV narrative. For real. It’s way less that “Toyota is anti EV” and more “Toyota stalled and stalled while working furiously in the background, until they were ready to show their hand/couldn’t stall any further” Toyota has worked very hard to get to where they are in the industry both in terms of size/sales/finances and in reputation, and it wasn’t going to publicly go in on EVs until there was a lineup and actionable roadmap to show. Toyota wants to at least try to remain the “Toyota” of the automotive industry. They were more than happy to let Tesla and GM and Nissan and BMW take lumps and make incremental gains and release (and often recall) 1-2 semi-baked cars, and they definitely didn’t want to deal with having a Bolt or an i3 of their own. I don’t think they would’ve shown off 30 prototype electric cars with the intent to have them all on sale by 2030 and committed $70 billion to the endeavor, along with a plan to make Lexus 100% electric in ~10 years if they were anti EV

Kia Soul Enthusias posted:Toyota is inexperienced, is trying to maximize warranty and has a huge buffer. The latter two may be true, but I don't think at this point we should give them the benefit of the doubt on "inexperience". The first-gen RAV4 EV in 1997 was arguably the best of the '90s California compliance era. They've been dominating the hybrid market for over two decades and they worked directly with Tesla on the second-gen RAV4 EV. Toyota has been working with batteries and electric motors in production for longer than most other major automakers. Even though they haven't been focusing on pure EV, I feel like they should be expected to be doing better than the other legacy automakers. At least they shouldn't be given any slack for being worse.

Indiana_Krom posted:Is there much difference between making a bad product on purpose and not making a good product on purpose? Do you think Toyota designed and executives sat down in a room and said “let’s not make a good product?” It’s the first EV from a company that is hyper-sensitive to reliability and longevity issues, it’s terribly surprising that they’re being very conservative with the charging capabilities. That’s not to say that it’s good, but you don’t need to manufacture a “Toyota made a bad car on purpose”take to see how they ended up here.

In all likelihood, all the demographic and market research data Toyota has said their Rav4/Sienna/Camry demographic typically doesn't care about fast charging and leaves their car in the driveway or garage for an average of 14 hours/day, so they didn't prioritize it.
