It does require a bit of planning. The better EVs have this all built into their nav systems, Tesla is the gold standard there. Tesla opening their charging network to other brands is going to improve the charging situation a lot in the US.

Of course. There are some very off-road capable EVs (check out Rivian) but they are pricey. Lower prices requires scaling up mass production of batteries and cars which is what is happening. Gas cars have had a century of mass production ec

It is faster. But that doesn't mean you can't drive thousands of miles in an EV. That statement is just as ignorant. My average road trip charging stop is 10-15 minutes.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the government support of Tesla and EVs is necessarily bad here, just taking issue with OP's claim of "without any government intervention."

I was referring to Ford’s home backup system which uses DC, not AC. GM is also doing DC V2L/H for home backup.

It's probably difficult to retrofit. CCS provides different wire harnesses in the vehicle for AC and DC power. NACS requires shared conductors for AC and DC power from the charge port to some point that can handle switching between the

Well, mostly from other automakers paying Tesla for credits, as mandated by various governments' legislation. But the transactions didn't directly involve government/tax dollars.

Yes, Tesla's next gen chargers (V4) will support 800V. The NACS port specification allows up to 1000V.

Europe seems to be doing just fine with their CCS Type 2 connectors and network. Tesla uses the CCS Type 2 connector in that market on all of their cars and chargers. If anything their public charging network is significantly denser and mor

No, but they do have requirements to receive federal funding to build chargers under the recent NEVI program, and that includes using connectors that are non-proprietary.

Yes, cold weather can reduce range. A lot of newer EVs use heat pumps which help with that efficiency. It all depends on distances and charger availability. If you have home charging and go on hikes in cold mountain weather within a ~100mi

That doesn't actually say that the owner didn't drive it through deep water. The articles I have seen on this incident seem to very carefully tiptoe around what actually happened to the car.

NACS supports up to 1000V charging, which can easily match CCS on total charging power for 800V+ cars. There has not yet been a large rollout of 800V+ NACS chargers but Tesla is about to begin installing them, and any other charge provider

Yes, that is true and interesting.

Tesla will support both protocols at their chargers. But if you have an older (pre-2020) Tesla you may not be able to charge at a non-Tesla NACS charger, since those older Teslas do not natively support the CCS communication protocol. Tesla

EVs have some advantages at higher elevations since they don't lose power like combustion engines do. They're great with large elevation changes as well due to the power regen on the downhill legs. If the distances are pushing thi

This basically seems to be a case of Tesla truly opening up their connector standard, marrying it with the existing standardized CCS communications instead of their previous proprietary communications, and using the carrot of access to thei

They can implement V2L in the exact same way they were going to do it with the CCS connector. CCS did not specify a single way to do V2L, and current implementations by Hyundai, Ford, etc. are not standardized or brand-interoperable. While

The connectors between the North American version of CCS (CCS Type 1) and the European version (CCS Type 2) are different. The NA connector had some clear disadvantages, mainly in its locking mechanism. The NACS standard uses CCS communicat
