The new #ElectrifyAmerica EV chargers at the Emeryville IKEA are very nice. 10 units (I think the most of any EA in the East Bay) all 350kW and far from the door so they aren’t blocked with gas cars. Currently me, a Lucid Air, an Ioniq 6, and a a Mustang Mach-E.
-
Five charging stops, one food stop and 782 miles later, we’re home! Cost about $130 in electricity.
Good news is that EA’s chargers were all working today (though the first post we used at Panoche was slower than it should have been, and we moved when one of the others opened up).
Only a couple of lines today too, and only short waits despite some inconsiderate chargers
-
Really annoying when people are sitting here well past 80%. Trying to charge to 100% when there is a line waiting is really inconsiderate. #ElectrifyAmerica should really implement the penalty fees they talked about.

Electrify America at Plymouth … one charger is down shown in the app… and one more shows available but actually down (won’t activate) and the 350kw that I waited 10 mins for is reduced to about 170kw
I’m glad my car tells me the charging power is limited by the charging station……

Getting ready to ride in this Mach-e at the Electrify Expo in Austin, TX at the Circuit of the America's today (November 9, 2024).

I have a Level 2 charger my #ID4Pro #EV at home. I also have a #ChargePoint #EVGo & an #ElectrifyAmerica account.
However, I believe in #BeingPreprared. So, I bought a #J1772 to #NACS #Tesla adapter but I'd only use a Tesla #Supercharger (or destination charger) as a last resort (because I have issues with #Musk ) & haven't even downloaded the Tesla charging app yet, so I can't even use a Tesla charger yet but . . .
Here's an interesting article to those who are interested in #EVs published by #ConsumerReports about their experience charging certain non-Tesla EVs at #Tesla #Superchargers with a J1772 to NACS (Tesla) adapter or with Tesla's #MagicDock . . .

New Electrify America EV chargers being installed at Menard’s parking lot in Duluth, MN.

The only one available charger at the Hyannis Electrify America station is a 150kw. However having 800V battery pack means my car can pull more than that from this one. It stayed 180-190kw all the way to about 75% SoC. I’m very pleased.
The car was like “No it’s not my fault to only charge at 180kw when the battery got nice and toasty on the way to the charger. Blame the charger.”

How bad can this go wrong with such halfassery in this realm
Also the charger is very slow in software

We just completed a Seattle to Newport, Oregon RT in our #Bolt EV. ~1,000km or 640 miles.
We've had this vehicle for 6 years. Having now done the same trip several times I'm pleased to observe how #ElectrifyAmerica has evolved, collected its wits and made the experience satisfyingly routine and predictable.
Bolt's range is shy of what's needed to arrive with contingency kWh. 30 minute midway top-up is perfect for leg-stretching.
Charging Plan A and B still good to have, but way less.

@seanbala My feeling at first was, at least they are trying, but quickly went cynical because their chargers seem to have a lot of trouble and I have to wonder if it's intentional.
Also could be part of a settlement like #VW cars and their #electrifyamerica chargers.

The #ElectrifyAmerica newbie #EV charging experience:
Drive past Mach E motioning me forward. Realize much later he’s in an informal, unmarked waiting spot, and I cut in line (didn’t delay him, keep reading).

Looks like it's a go! Wife and I are heading to Middlebury VT tomorrow for some #eclipse viewing. It's also going to be the furthest I've driven the #EV6, which should add to the challenge. Luckily, there is an #ElectrifyAmerica Type 3 charger about an hour outside of Middlebury, which should work out great.

#EV “90% of the US population is located within 10 miles of a Walmart.” No specific word if Walmart will be managing its own network or will outsource it (many existing #ElectrifyAmerica charging stations are in Walmart parking lots).
Walmart is rolling out its 'coast-to-coast' network of DC fast chargers https://electrek.co/2024/02/09/walmart-coast-to-coast-network-dc-fast-chargers/

In this episode I play a song by You Am I; buying some cameras seems be helping the dog pee situation; we took the first road trip in the electric Audi; the free credits with Electrify America aren’t of much worse when they never work; I am playing lots of solitaire; I created a spreadsheet to help me make arbitrary choices; I wondered if I was being too hard on dogmatic punks until I heard Chris Shifflett make the same points as me on Turned Out A Punk; Chris Gethard on Death Sex and Money defends making art and having a day job; I migrated from Wilosophy to TOFOP via the Everyone Relax feed; the kid and I have decided to take up watching Australian Rules Football; I used to watch weird shit on ESPN in the 80s; I was knocked out by the Do You Need a Ride podcast merch store; Self-Hosted is on about the enshittification of Plex; I am not buying any more hardware from companies that want to sell me content; I don’t love Jellyfin the way I should; I don’t love Docker the way nerds think I should; I want a color Onyx Boox 10″ but I do not want to pay $500.

First DCFC (DC Fast Charge) with the rental #Polestar2 at the #ElectrifyAmerica outside of Winter Garden, Florida and…. Boy do I miss the charging speeds of the #ioniq5 already. 😢 Only saw a brief (>90 seconds) period of charging greater than 100kW.
But otherwise, have managed to engage full vacation mode. #FloridaMan

Renting a #Polestar2 #EV while on vaca(y) this week - Really digging the Apple Maps in the main steering wheel instrument cluster! 😍
At least the bar for #electrifyamerica is already low, so there won’t be too much disappointment.
