Car Tech 101: How to charge an electric car while demystifying the tech | Cooley On Cars

Questionable comments made in video:

0:48 EVSE = Electric Vehicle SERVICE Equipment -- not ev-SUPPLY-E -- although I did see some sites referring to EVSE with Service
2:10 Level2 = 90kW - so there are 240V x 375amp plugs? maybe they meant 90Amps max or 22kW
4:31 Line/NEUTRAL/Ground -- NEUTRAL should say L2 (out of phase voltage of L1) or neutral if only from a 1 phase line.
6:42 Line/NEUTRAL -- same neutral comment
7:14 Not find [a Tesla Connector] at the mall -- the mall by me has Level 2 Tesla Connectors and Superchargers.
7:38 hook up a public charging station .. to a Model 3 to get a DC fast charge... --- Maybe he talking about CHAdeMO adapter or maybe no CCS adapters. He talks of public charging stations and mentions Tesla Superchargers but does not say how they are also at public locations in even more places then other Level 3 chargers.
