For some reason I expected to see the license plate say a rural part of America and a confederate flag in the rear window of the truck.

Anyway, notice how quickly the temp meter climbed on the left side of the dash? They do not recommend charging more than 80% or so in an hour as that can cause too much heat and damage the cells. Nissan would rather you take advantage of the FREE towing service if you are flat out of energy.

Having said that, they should of used a better tow connector.

Most "grid" chargers mentioned on this site double as a balancer, so it helps to condition a warn battery that is out of balance. Completely different concept and unless its done at 350 mili amps it would need to be done on a cell level.

Coasting in general is a great way to get better mpg and charge your pack.

Haha, I still thought the video was pretty hilarious. And someone commented that the Toyota Tundra used to tow it is a "f*** the world truck"! Ahahahha!
