I already posted about seeing a Nikola at a charging station in Bedford, PA:

But I didn't share about my very first time DCFC in Staunton back in July. It is a station where you can pull through, and...
I ninja edited that. :) I originally said it didn't support pull through, but it does if you don't mind blocking a typical parking spot. Since the chargers are pretty far out in the middle of a WalMart parking lot, this is unlikely to be a problem, and no different than any vehicle pulling a...
PlugShare offers details of the parking situation, but I haven't found a way to search by those that are trailer friendly or offer parking for a trailer. This is the EA station in Staunton, VA:
I get that it's important not to take anecdotal evidence as indication of a widespread problem. The start of this thread was about a single station having multiple failures, not the network as a whole, but it's hardly unique. Here are some other examples...
There's more to failures than stranding someone. Long wait times can occur if multiple vehicles are queued up waiting at a station with 75% of its chargers offline.
What can be done to address this? Should EV automakers with CCS ports invest in EA or another company to improve the charging...
I actually don't remember having a problem with exit ramps. I know what you're getting at though. Back in 2019 I drove my friend's Model 3 and used autopilot. The car would start to creep towards the ramp as if the lane were simply getting wider instead of recognizing a new lane was forming...
You don't care what Tesla is doing, but their SC reliability rating shows that all charging networks are not littered with failures, and that reliability is what all EV drivers deserve.
A little transparency on the part of the service provider would buy them a bit of goodwill these days, but...
Glad that people with a bigger audience are calling out bad charging experiences as they see them. Sad that they have to do it at all.
I've been tracking an EA station on I-81 (Brugh's Mill Country store) since before I got my truck. It has been down to a single station since May. May...
Here's another video - this is of the presentation:
I've never really been a Dodge fan, but I can at least appreciate the styling that looks a bit different and isn't a crossover. I think they're actually making it a 2 door sports car because it's not going to sell as well as a popular...
To put a finer point on that, you're referring to people doing their own updates via ForScan or similar, right? OTA updates shouldn't require someone to hook up a battery tender.
I didn't see where he complained about efficiency. Did you read the post?
Taking other roads may not be an option and may actually be a worse idea if you're pulling a trailer. Just let ABRP work its magic.
@vandy1981 what is your ABRP low/medium/high speed confidence level while pulling the...
Only once have I come up to my truck and had it not auto-unlock when I reach inside the handle. I had to use the fob like you. The screens seemed normal from what I remember, but I had no navigation for that trip. It just wouldn't load, and I couldn't tell it to navigate anywhere via voice...
I've been letting ABRP calibrate for around 1500 miles so far. It has my Lariat ER at 415wh/mi with this level of confidence:
For reference I am pretty good about not using the friction brakes at all, and I drive in 1 pedal mode exclusively. I really only hit the brakes in an emergency. I...
I like the Silverado for all the reasons you listed, but I really like the fact that the Lightning shares many components with the ICE truck. Since you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one, that means parts are plentiful and cheap. While I'm sure the Silverado will still be less...
I think it's mostly good, but it has a few issues. On the good side It is very easy to see where you're supposed to go, and I think it's excellent at providing lane guidance. Navigation did completely disappear from the infotainment for the leg of one short trip though. Here are the gripes...
Last Friday morning I stopped to charge at the Sheetz in Bedford, PA on my way to western NY. When I came back from breakfast I found this semi next to me with a familiar logo on the mudflaps.
The driver was sitting in the cab and started to get out as I unplugged and went to pull away. He...
