  1. Just witnessed a driver of a brand new Audi A3 PHEV getting very frustrated and reading the manual trying to find out why the rapid charger wouldn't fit into their car.

    Two thoughts: what's the point of a PHEV and why do dealers not explain this stuff on handover?

  3. There was me wondering why the chargers were off at London Gateway services. That's because two are laying down in the middle of the car park.

  9. About 14% of US EV drivers had charging issues last year. Things are improving, but there is still a way to go for true reliability. #evcharging

  10. An interesting initiative by a former colleague of mine: form a collective with purchasing power to negotiate better terms with charge point operators.

  12. So, I decided to swing by the Rivian Adventure Network at Clackamas Town Center yesterday. When I got there, the charger at the very front was open (a Toyota Busy Forks just pulled out) and pulled into the spot.

    Between how the chargers are positioned (towards the driver side when pulling nose in), how the cables came out of the charger (fixed to the top left corner), and that they put a post with "Vehicle Charging Only" at the end of the parking spot, I had a strong gut feeling that the cable would not reach the NACS charging port on the front passenger side of my Trailseeker. I even pulled up to within 2 inches of the post, no dice.

    There was a pull-through spot open for those with a trailer, but I didn't want to take up that spot in case someone else needed it.

    I don't know if the chargers with the NACS connector would have reached either.

    I'll have to swing by the Rivian Adventure Network chargers down at Bridgeport Village to see if those are any better.

  14. Brand new Applegreen chargers near Peterborough on the A1 each with a sign apologising for the temporarily reduced speed.

    Currently pulling 125kW. Lol. I was expecting 50. Any faster and I wouldn't have time for coffee and toilet break.

  16. @susankayequinn @czds and I mapped out a cross country trip from Washington State to Pennsylvania and down to Virginia. Electrify America charging stations averaged every 165 miles along the Interstates. The longest distance of about 200 miles is still within range. We bought a Lectron Vortex CCCS2|NACS converter for our 2024 Ioniq5, and then received Hyundai’s complimentary converter, but haven’t used them. Good to know they work 😀

  18. The most useful car upgrades are not always obvious at first. A retractable charger fixes cable clutter. A TPMS display makes tire data visible. A jump starter adds emergency backup. A wireless Android Auto adapter removes the cable step. A Level 2 EV charger improves the home routine. Full list here: youtu.be/Wcys2sZvSCU

  19. Copper theft of EV charge cables is a growing issue, especially the thick 50kW cables.

    Osprey's answer to cable theft - a pressurised dye around the cable

    Let's hope it doesn't malfunction and cover me in orange dye !

  20. This is essential reading on competition in the European EV charging market, and on how Charging Point Operators (CPOs) cannot treat Mobility Service Providers (MSPs) and their own internal business units unequally. Regulators can already take effective action against market abuse even before #AFIR, the European Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation is enforced more effectively

  21. While not the cheapest cost per kWh when it comes to public charging, but $0.75 for 45 minutes of charging when ~4.4 kWh dispensed, it was nice to get a bit of level 2 charging while shopping and visiting the farmers market.

    The cost for the charger was $1/hour for the first 4 hours.

  22. Interesting! From our local library:

  23. Survey for Warwickshire people - cross-pavement EV charging is a bad idea, further surrendering and cementing the notion of ownership of public space, and introducing new failure points for pavements. Tensions over "parking in my spot" can already be high. This will make it much worse.
