Dodge Promises First-ever Muscle EV, Dusts Off Retro Logo

  • ToolGuy EV Nerd Question: Let's say a person has a home and has electricity and has an EV and has plenty of time to charge and can choose between 120V and 240V at-home charging on this particular charge cycle. How would the choice of 120V (using the 120V 'cord' charger that came with the vehicle) or 240V (using the charger on the wall) affect the following:a) Cost of the 'fill-up' -- i.e., is there a difference in efficiency of the energy delivery to the vehicle battery between 120V and 240V?b) Long-term life/health of the vehicle battery -- i.e., we know that fast charging stresses the battery more -- by analogy is 120V better than 240V?

  • SPPPP Speaking of soggy bottoms, those vinyl seats look very uninspiring. But the rest of the car looks pretty nice. I am not such a fan of combining a Nissan CVT with an over-stressed 3-cylinder, but I guess time will tell how that works out.
  • Lichtronamo Like most here, have a L2 Charger at home. Have only plugged into a publicly accessible charger 2x only to try it. We have an EV and ICE car in our garage, so we haven't driven the EV on a longer trip. I would like to try it on a road trip. I think the driving characteristics of an EV with somewhat longer stops along the way would be enjoyable.
