Default Are you new to EVs and EV charging?

I put together a few notes recently on my blog for people new to EV's and EV chargers. I hope you find it useful.

Thanks for the link. I have been using the 110 volt EVSE cord that came with the 2021 Pacifica but it takes around 12 hrs to get a full charge with that if the battery is almost depleted. I am considering a hard wired home 220volt charger but they are a bit pricey. To me the PHEV technology is the best of both worlds (with the present battery technology). I usually take short local trips that are well within the Pacifica's 35 mile battery range so I have not purchased any gasoline for many weeks. Dash readout presently shows 74 MPG overall for around 4500 miles. Really liking this Pacifica! Bought it dirt cheap too plus got a $4,000.Tax Credit (icing on the cake) I have 16k invested in a 2021 like new Pacifica that gets +70 MPG and drives like a dream.... These things seem to be the best kept secret in the used vehicles car marketplace!

The other day I used Electrify America and other Brand EV owners came to look at my ride. I need to get to knowledge 101 so to speak more knowledgeable. It seems that EV owners are very knowledgeable about their vehicles , more so than the dealership sales people.
