AmpUp L2 not on PlugShare?

[Jonathan S.]

Drove our daughter today to meet a friend in The Big City.
Okay, so a northern suburb of Boston, but either way, far bigger than western Mass.

Seemed like the roundtrip would leave little margin in cold temps so looked at PlugShare for L2 options during the 2.5 hrs she’d be wandering about with her friend.

Saw almost nothing, but then searched on Melrose MA EV Charging and saw many options not on PlugShare that were featured instead on a municipal website.

Ended up not needing to charge since pulled in at 59%.

(Had started at 99% since preconditioned the cabin manually for a little while with the car still plugged in at home on Direct Charge, yet still lost a percentage point. Second time this has happened, the previous time via a scheduled departure. Not a big deal of course losing a single percentage point but nevertheless puzzling.)

But one of the locations is adjacent to where our daughter was meeting her friend, and the rate is less than what we pay at home.
The 8.6kW is faster than any public L2 I’ve experienced.
And the app works just fine despite the dismal reviews.

But far more importantly, seeing the plug descend from up high is absolutely wild! I should have recorded a video!

You can see it in this overly long video at around 8:30 —

I think Plugshare is supposed to be crowd-sourced.
Did you attempt to create those locations within the app?

Putting the equipment up high like that looks wild, but it was probably cheaper than installing something in-ground, and way less likely to have someone damage it.

I have not tried to create an entry in PlugShare.
The video is over 2.5 yrs old yet still no entry. Puzzling!

Meanwhile, here is a somewhat interesting picture that my daughter took from the backseat on the drive out there looking up through the glass roof:
