EV Channels Review

This "Out of Spec Reviews" video takes viewers on an in-depth tour of Tom Moloughney's (State of Charge) impressive home EV charging setup and electrical infrastructure. The review highlights the extensive upgrades, including a 400-amp service and a custom electrical panel, necessary to support his charging needs. The hosts discuss and showcase a vast array of Level 2 chargers, offering detailed impressions on each, with particular praise for the Emporia (48A for $399) and Wallbox Pulsar Plus for their features and value, despite the latter's higher price point. The video also features a comparison between the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, with the reviewer expressing a strong preference for the Lightning due to its truck-like utility, highway cruising comfort, and practical frunk design, while acknowledging the Rivian's strengths as an adventure vehicle. The discussion touches upon vehicle-to-grid/load capabilities and the importance of safety-certified charging equipment over cheaper alternatives.
