Are you thinking of getting an electric car in 2023? This week on the Big Tech Show we have a beginner’s guide on all you need to know about getting one. From the best models, to charging them and a million other questions in between.
Adrian is joined by founder of the EV Review Ireland YouTube channel, Derek Reilly.
Derek says there are a few things you need to consider when getting an electric car, including where you’ll be charging it.
The Big Tech Show: AC? DC? You charge me all night long — a beginners guide to EVs
“Off-street parking is one of the big things…rather than dragging it across a footpath or over a footpath or under a footpath, you have the ability to park your car off street and then put the charger on the front, back or the side of your house.”
While you may have already factored that in, something you probably won’t have thought of is your shower.
“An electric shower is the heaviest thing that you can have on in your house…what a load balancer will do is just lower down the EV charging and give you your shower and then when the shower stops, brings back up to you recharge .”
They also discuss what some of the best models are on the market, range anxiety and why you shouldn’t charge your car up to 100pc.
