Crushing Charging Challenges: Why Every EV Driver Needs a J1772 Extension Cord Hey fellow electric adventurers! Living the electric vehicle (EV) life is fantastic! From the quiet hum of the motors to the instant torque that shoves you back in your seat, there’s no denying the thrill. But let’s face it, sometimes charging your EV can be a logistical puzzle. Parking garages might have stations tucked away in corners, campsites often lack dedicated charging spots, and even home garages might have outlets in less-than-ideal locations.

Conquering Range Anxiety on Your Next Family Adventure: Why Every EV Driver Needs a Tesla to J1772 Adapter Hey fellow Electric Adventurers! It’s my favorite time of the year for electric adventures like a family roadtrip or camping in our EVs. Our new Chevy Equinox EV and our incredible Rivian R1S have both been amazing for us to hit the roads and trails this year. While DC Fast Charging on Tesla’s NACS Superchargers gets most of the attention right now as the network opens to more manufacturers like Rivian and GM, I’ve found that the ability to charge at even more locations on AC Level 2 chargers can dramatically improve a trip.

What’s going on with the battery in the Chevy Equinox EV? No one seems to be able to figure out how much capacity there is in the new Chevy Equinox EV and GM isn’t exactly helping. We got our Chevrolet Equinox EV 2RS AWD a few weeks ago and have loved it so far. We haven’t done any long trips yet and have barely charged it, but I had noticed that it seemed to squeeze out more range than expected.

Charging as a Tesla driver has always been pretty straightforward. You drive around until your battery is low, and then you either charge at home or follow the in car navigation to a nearby SuperCharger. You don’t mess with an app or credit card readers since the chargers know how to bill you once the car is plugged in. In fact, I’ve essentially stopped planning charging stops ahead of time on road trips now because it’s just so easy.

As a Tesla Model Y owner, I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest gadgets and accessories to enhance my driving experience and personalize my car. One of the most important parts of any car is the dashboard, and the Tesla Model Y and 3 have a sleek and minimalist design that I absolutely love. There is no dashboard where you’d traditionally find one in front of the steering wheel, and instead all details are shown on the massive touch screen in the center of the dashboard instead.

Tesla is in a fantastic position in the market, recently lower the cost of it’s cars and offering several great options at competitive price points that are bringing more and more buyers to the Model 3, Y, and even S and X. As the market leader for electric vehicles, many new owners are coming to Tesla for the first time and may find that there are many differences from gasoline powered cars they’ve previously owned.

Everyone knows that kids are incredibly resilient and can be very elastic with adapting to changes and learning, but recently my kids have really demonstrated to me just how much they learn and how fast they can pick things up. This fall, my kids, the 6 year old twins and the two and a half year old, showed me just how fast they can adapt to other cultures and experiences on our trip to Europe as well as a long road trip and hiking in Acadia National Park, all while starting back up at school.

Kids are hell on a car. Ever since we moved to a Tesla Model Y from the 3, we’ve been using the car far more as a family and taking trips with all three of our young boys almost non-stop. But that means they drop drinks, crush goldfish into dust, and generally touch every single bit of the car with sticky fingers. I finally have a way to prevent these from destroying my car thanks to Tesla Shields’ floor mats.

I’m sitting in our apartment in Bergen, Norway and out the window, parked on the street, I can see a full range of electric cars. There’s a Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq 5, two BMW i3s, and both a Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. This is what the future looks like and it’s fully electric. With demand in the US growing, and now California banning the sale of internal combustion (ICE) cars by 2035, the US might look a lot like Norway in a few years.
