EV Ownership vs Level 1 Charging
Rethinking EV ChargingA commonly held belief by new or prospective EV owners is that purchasing one requires the installation of a โlevel 2โ, or 240 volt, home charger. Sara and Ed chat about recent University of Calgary research that challenges this assumption. They discuss considerations that might go into choosing which option is best for EV owners and people considering EVs, as well as the practical realities when it comes to charging, range anxiety - and pottery kilns.

BONUS: Behind the Scenes of Energy vs Climate Session Ale
You may recall that we sipped Annex Ale Project's Easy Answers Pale Ale when we recorded our Crypto vs Climate episode back in Season 3.ย Little did we know that would be the start of a fun and productive relationship with the good folks at Annex Ales.ย And now the beer is here, we're proud to introduce our very own Energy vs Climate Session Ale, the beer that remembers to turn off the lights when it leaves the room.To celebrate, we made a bonus episode taking you behind the scenes of brewing the beer.ย Keeping with the Energy vs Climate program, Annex Ale Project brewed this beer using alt techniques that minimize energy input while maintaining maximum flavour output. Following the initial boil, cool, and subsequent in-tank dilution, Annex dry-hopped with Vic Secret and Lemondrop to achieve a delicious, pleasantly piney resinous aromaโsuper on-brand with what we assume to be Mother Nature's vibe.All proceeds from EvC Session Ale go towards increasing the breweryโs energy efficiency, so cheers to new lighting and improved circulation!And stay tuned for the second half of EvC Season Four, coming in early March 2023.energyvsclimate.com@EnergyvsClimate
