DIY Electric Car

OCTOBER 1, 2013

I have never run out of juice. But I have been very happy with charging on a standard 110v. I am now getting confident enough to leave the charging cable at home. My car is the ARC 1 over in the garage section of the forums, for anyone who wants to take a look. This car has continued to exceed my expectations.

Low Ranked Ethan @ Apr 19th 2009 5:27PM Kilgore - Plugs are 24 volts in the UK, 12 in the US, your car will charge much faster with this, seeing as it is hundreds of volts more. The benefit of a higher voltage connector has nothing to do with the speed at which the battery will charge it has to do with the conductor size.

If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen.
