I love you!

In Germany we complained the most and now Allego has converted some to Alpitronic already. 👍

Cool I will tell the owner of the vehicle!

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous if you don’t jump the queue and pay for the charge, to be worried about taking up a charging point. We are all equal to each other, no one has superior rights over another. What a ridiculous concern to have.

Depending on the vehicle it should be possible, precisely what Fastned does with their autocharge system! It recognizes your vehicle after once starting the charge with the app.

Indeed I've rented an EV320 this summer which had the button! Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a new one, but I'll try anyway! Plus I hope to come back for a hazard light session but from the very beginning so it hopefully works out next time :>

@@electricfelix keep up the good work. Education is the way to get more bums on ev seats. 👍

Would be interesting indeed, there are several locations nearby. Takes more time though so will have to find a way to borrow one for longer.

This is wrapped in Midnight Gold sir!

Thanks! 🤗

@@electricfelix Can I ask you where you did that in The Netherlands? tx for the suggestion

@@paolopietropoli7843 I see my dad has never responded, if you are still interested, it was done at Duke Design!

THAT has been proven now, hahahahaha. Thanks you must be right. Next time, maybe v2.

Do you need to keep them running once its started? Never tried it.

@@alexhaddock4554 You do! Don't turn them off, it will immediately dial down the charging throttle to around 80kW usually. Leave 'em on and enjoy the show. Drive fast before you go charging though, use lots of regen, ideally you want the battery above 30 degrees!

😂

@@electricfelix Haahahah, if this isn’t a wind up I think I’d probably rather it throttled than sit there with my Hazards on….but of course now I know I’ll need to try it. Power Cruise Control looks a lot cleaner than trying to setup Car Scanner for it though, will definitely give that a try so thanks 🙏

Of course I agree with you. But you think the average Tesla driver would like me standing there? Here in the comments I'm sure it would lead to a big "party" :> You shoud've seen the tweets last week on my ID.3 video...

@@electricfelix as a Tesla owner I wouldn’t mind at all

many vehicles don't plus they don't know the SuC as a fast charging location ..

Because it's easy. Most people drive around NL with a "charging card" from their "boss". You swipe it at any AC (or DC) charger and that's it. So when you arrive at this restaurant for food/meeting you put your Tesla at an AC charger, boss pays, and you leave a couple hours later with a full battery. No Supercharging needed. Plus not all Model S can use this v3!

@@electricfelix thats superb, and not supercharging makes the battery last longer.

It's a big part of the convenience of owning an EV, which a lot of ICE drivers do not (yet) comprehend. If you have ubiquitous AC charging, there's only need for HPC when roadtripping. Most people only travel less than 50kms a day and travel distances that exceed an average modern EV's battery range only once or a few times per year. If you can charge your car while you're doing something else (sleeping, working, shopping, eating,...) you never have to worry about range. This fact alone is one of the reasons why EVs are the future - once infrastructure is in place (which it is already in many places, but still some way to go) EV driving will be way more convenient than driving ICE cars. For people who can charge at home this is already mostly the case, but obviously there are lots of people who can't do that, so this is the way forward.

@@davidsommen1324 it only depends on how you use your vehicle, EVs aren't necessarily better tbh.

Haha we actually get a lot of compliments, but to each their own of course!

We get a lot of compliments, you should see it in the sun!
