also, speaking off hybrid, I ran into a dude at the EA station who had a plug in hybrid RAV 4. I didn't know that you can't level 3 charge those cars. - judge amanda jones Jan 9, 11:11 21
- I'm surprised he's charging at a EA station. I don't know that I'd charge outside of home with a plug-in. -- nm* - spamlet Jan 9, 11:40 3
  - GAS IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY!!! - Spawn Jan 9, 12:27 2
    - I will say, my wife HATES putting gas in hers for many reasons but she wouldn't stop at an EA charger to fill up the electrons - oblique Jan 9, 12:29 1
      - Heh, Amy got 15 free miles yesterday!!! -- nm - Spawn Jan 9, 12:34
- I still chuckle when I see the Walmart delivery vans charging outside the market rather than in their own parking lot. -- nm - Meg Jan 9, 11:36
- Yeah, that would surprise me also. I don't think our Niro PHEV has the CCS level 3 charging option. -- nm - oblique Jan 9, 11:14
- In theory I would think that they could use whichever charger they would want to, it should throttle to the limits of the car. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 11:14 9
  - Chargers have two styles of plugs. Level 2 uses the top (round) part of the plug while level 3 adds an oval shaped connector below the level 2 -- (edited) - oblique Jan 9, 11:16 3
    - Must... refrain... from making... dirty.... joke.... -- nm - Baron, Vamp Champ Jan 9, 11:18 1

    - 2/3 of an Ava2ar -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 9, 11:17
    - That would match what we can do at a Level 2 (non-CCS) charger on our PHEV -- nm - oblique Jan 9, 11:16 2
      - so the guy must have either had an adaptor (if that exists) or just made it fit... -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 9, 11:17 1
        
        Could be the RAV4 has the CCS port. Our Kia PHEV doesn't. EDIT: Or that particular EA station has a J1772 charger in addition to CCS -- nm* - oblique Jan 9, 11:17
- There's some EV word salad nerdspeak us normies cannot understand. :) -- nm - budice Jan 9, 11:13 4
  - "plug-in hybrid can't charge as fast as full electric", which is news to me but I guess it sorta makes sense. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 11:14 3
    - True. Our PHEV on my level 2 charger is markedly slower than the EV. This is true between EV models also. A Chevy Bolt notably has slower top - oblique Jan 9, 11:19 2
      - I really like the look of that Kia EV9 concept from CES -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 9, 11:25 1
