As long as things are installed and grounded properly, it works. I know when I was up in Northern Canada they had 220 volt plug-ins for vehicle heaters (100 ton mining trucks).
My buddy has his charger in the garage I think, but mostly he charges at work for free, probably on taxpayer tab.

The question is... Is the volt properly grounded?

I hate to admit it but Hyundai makes some really nice vehicles.

Good to know they haven’t enslaved you to the highest gas prices possible.

:)

I also got a $500.00 rebate for being an honorably discharged veteran, which I thought was a really nice gesture on their part...

Electric cars are a scam when it’s sold as “good for the enviornment” when close to 70% of electricity in the US is created through burning coal.

Liberals are so stupid they can’t even understand they hate their own ideas. To fully use the idea of electric cars we would need a bigger grid (screw the snail darters) and most of our power coming from nuclear reactors which they hate because of their indoctrination over the last 35 years (and a badly written and acted movie).

Geez, when are people going to just start shunning liberals? Quit hiring them. Quit serving them in your store or your restaurant or gas station or hotel. Make sure your kids bully theirs! lol

He’s not paying his “fair share” of the road use tax. Where is he? I have a bill for him.

There was a thread the other day with the subject of Washington State considering a $100 fee for owners of electric vehicles since they are buying less gas - thus paying less state tax for road use maintenance ...

I posted as to whether Washington State would impose a fee on the people WHO DON'T OWN electric vehicles - since they DON'T use EXTRA electricity to charge their cars and, thus, DO NOT generate EXTRA state tax for Washington State's coffers ...

I HIGHLY doubt the tax on the electricity is remotely cost to what is charge (by the state) per gallon.

That dog don’t hunt.
