No - very different. Wawa isn't typically a big truck stop like a Buc-ees is, just a really nice gas station with decent food (some fresh made).

I like both Sheetz and Wawa when travelling, but neither can touch Stewart's ice cream!

Buc-ees is NOT a truck stop, they actually PROHIBIT semi truck/trailers.... they are ONLY for personal, regular vehicles, which may actually be one reason why they are so popular, along with their simplistic, but right-to-the-point, billboard ADVERTISING : )

When you can advertize "Buc-ees, just hold it for another 121 miles!", you know you are good graces with many travelers... their HUGE parking lots are PACKED, 24/7.... it's crazy. Some seem bigger than a Walmart.

The Buc-ees in FortValley(south of Macon) Georgia now has Tesla Superchargers, and maybe even EA charging on the way. It's about time.

Sounds like you need to hook that trailer up and make a pilgrimage up north into the Mid Atlantic area and experience a Sheetz, Wawa, Royal Farms, and Rutters for a good comparison. We'll need a write up as soon as you return

For those interested, do some research on the companies, or people, that own these chains if you're someone that tends to shift business towards, or away, from things you may agree with, or disagree with.

Interesting. I do try to do that though there are no real 100% good options.

I did some quick googling and nothing jumped out at me as being especially onerous. Can you give me any leads?

 

[RickLightning]

Just sent you a DM. Google any company / founder, with the words "political" or "donated".

I will add another Lectron user to the list, i have good luck with mine. I take a 200 mile trip for work twice a month and the hotel has a charger and this has made my life soe much better. There is exactly two CCS chargers in town and one is at a GMC dealership and limited to 15 kw and the other charges $5 just to plug in then something crazy like $0.75 per minute while it maxes out at "62.5KW" not that it got above 20Kw the one time i was forced to use it. Now i charge for free at the hotel all while getting mileage from work lol.

Anyone else have experience with the (much more affordable) 80A adapter from A2Z EV?

I am considering getting it. Haven't yet, but I found a 10% off code - SAVETENA2ZEV

$300 for an adapter lolol. Gtfo. 60a is more than enough.

Here’s the problem: if you have the extended range Lightning and you friend has a Tesla high power wall adapter (which is Tesla’s equivalent of the Ford high power wall box) that is hardwired to 100 amp breaker, that Tesla box is going to send 80 amps to your truck (which happily will ask for it), and that is going to melt that 60 amp adapter. Ford made a big mistake not letting you dial down what power the vehicle will accept on the touchscreen or the app. (Tesla has had that ability since 2013).

Did you end up getting the A2Z? I just ordered it with 20% off…
