EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed Live tackles the crucial topic of EV charging etiquette in Australia for 2023. Host Tom, alongside guests Riz and Rahul, discusses the unspoken rules and courtesies necessary as EV adoption accelerates. Key points include the debate on when to finish charging at a DC station when a queue forms, with a consensus leaning towards charging only what's needed for the next stop or up to 80%. The discussion also covers acceptable idle times at chargers (around five minutes maximum), the importance of communication with waiting drivers, and the frustration of ICE vehicles or even other EVs occupying charging spots without charging. The hosts emphasize that charging spots are not parking spots. The episode also touches on the upcoming 'Project Highland' Model 3, potential pricing for the MG4, and upcoming EV events. The overall sentiment is that courtesy, patience, and clear communication are vital for a smooth charging experience as the EV market grows.
