EV Channels Review
This video highlights the critical role of portable Level 2 EVSEs, specifically the ShockFlo G1, for EV owners who engage in activities like camping or off-roading. The reviewer emphasizes that while DC fast charging is essential for road trips, mobile EVSEs offer a practical solution for topping up vehicles in locations without dedicated charging infrastructure, such as campgrounds. The ShockFlo G1 is praised for its robust 40-amp capability, exceeding the typical 32-amp standard, which can significantly improve charging speed. Key features like the adjustable current, real-time temperature and voltage readouts, and a durable build are highlighted as major advantages. The reviewer also points out the unit's ability to derate current, a crucial feature for managing power on shared circuits at campsites. The video effectively argues that carrying a mobile EVSE like the ShockFlo G1 provides flexibility and circumvents limitations in public charging infrastructure, making it an invaluable tool for EV adventures.
