It's time for another electric vehicle charging video. Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades). The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options! youtu.be/W96a8svXo14

The saddest thing about OK Go videos is that anyone who doesn't know will assume they're rendered and miss why the film they're watching is so extraordinary. If you don't know: It's practical effects, one take, and way more time and effort than anyone should reasonably spend. youtu.be/gz9BRl7DVSM
