Looks like Electrify America has *finally* replaced the constantly broken chargers at the Burlington Mall with new ones - and they're 350kW capable.
They worked, too (although one unit's "hose retractor" cord was broken...looked like vandalism, unfortunately).

#JohnVoelker #ChargedEVs: Fury at Electrify America: It’s hard to overstate the disgust and anger at #ElectrifyAmerica among virtually every person we interviewed. The network… viewed… as the most minimal effort VW Group… to comply with the 10-year, $2-billion settlement it negotiated with #EPA and California Air Resources Board (#CARB). Five years after its first fast charging station went live in May 2018, EA continues to have sites down for weeks or months… #EVcharging

EV charging is changing, Part 1: How automakers’ disappointment in Electrify America drove them into Tesla’s arms
“non-Tesla automakers have had it with EA. Initial hopes that EA would provide a new, large-scale, nationwide network of fast charging stations have now curdled into a desire to see EA out of the game altogether”
Great insight on how the auto industry went from embracing #ElectrifyAmerica to outright abandoning it.

Taking my #MachE on my first long distance drive. So far so good. #electrifyamerica stops have been functional.
It's great that #ChargePoint is trying to increase site reliability, but in my experience they are nowhere near the biggest problem compared to #ElectrifyAmerica and #EvGO (to a lesser degree). That seems to align with the regular reports from #RateYourCharge as well. I find ChargePoint units are usually up and producing full power, though they tend to be lower powered than other #DCFC chargers.

I’m so upset with #electrifyamerica ! I did my first charge on a #Tesla charge and within seconds it was at my top charging speed. I’m sure the Tesla guys there were pissed I was blocking a second charger next to me but it was so nice to get that speed starting at 33% soc. At all the #electrifyamerica charges I haven’t seen my top charging speed once. I even started around 10% and couldn’t get it. Top #Tesla charging is more expensive.
Wife's SUV was getting about 250 miles to the tank and cost about $60 to fill up.
We've drove 2k miles in the new #EV this month and with #VW we got three free years of charging with #ElectrifyAmerica
I've saved around $500 this month just in fuel. And I've got a three year buffer to get my #solar setup in place.

I got a new Rivian and successfully used it on a road trip. It's not as smooth as the Tesla experience is, but here is my thoughts on the different charging networks. #tesla #rivian #charging #electrifyamerica #evgo #blink #chargepoint

2🪡 We’ve road-tripped over 18k miles since we got the car a year ago, charging almost exclusively along the #ElectrifyAmerica network. If that's possible now, imagine what #EVLife will be like 5 years from now.
Admittedly, I was an #EV skeptic, but this experience has fully converted me to the #ElectrifyEverything movement.
#electrifyamerica #evlife #ev #electrifyeverything
I'm amazed how angry the talk of "#NACS" has made me.
You know, the "North American Charging Standard" - so standard that literally only one manufacturer uses it!
Now Ford has signed on, and I can only imagine what kind of sordid back room dealing led to that agreement.
I'm not normally the conspiracy theorist type, but I really do think it's plausible that #ElectrifyAmerica's main mission is to delay EV adoption. If it wasn't for all their own-goals, NACS would be dead in the water...
Oh, and obligatory disappointment with Electrify America. Couldn't get the app to talk to the charger in Winnemucca. The card reader worked, so it was fine. But EA continues to show we clearly aren't quite ready for our EV future.
#rickontheroad #electrifyamerica
I think I had read about this new #ElectrifyAmerica station in Kettleman City. 10 stalls, all 350kW. One has a CHAdeMO plug. One connector on the rest that has a long cable with a retractable holding wire like gas stations do. Makes it easier to each any port configuration but you probably still need to back in if your plug is in the back.
