Electrify America ..an update (and a disappointment)

[RBGtaycan]

There are two new EA charging sites near my house. How can I tell if they are 150 or higher? I plugged my Taycan into the nearest charging site and the max I got was 64kw. But there were about 10 other cars charging at the same time.

in my experience, all EA chargers have it posted on the charger..look for a 150 or 350 (these are max rates and not guaranteed) printed on the charger...your actual rate of charge (in your case 64) has to do with a lot of variables inc. what your car is telling the charger about your battery and capacity and if the charger is properly functioning (many are not)

one thing we learned about roadtrip charging is not to just go after the 350 stations! the 150 are also quick and is sometimes faster than finding\driving to a 350. Im sure if we want more stations and chargers per station that would be more 150s as the bulk of installs.

The kW number is usually pasted right on the front of the charger in big green numbers, big enough to see from your car window

I'll take some pics. There is a new EA station near the local Starbucks and Chick-Fil-A but it still has plastic on the charger cords so I guess its not fully up and running.

The one I used has been super busy: its right on the service road of a major highway. I went there on a Sunday and all stations were occupied with a variety of EVs including a Mustang, VW ID, Volvo (didn't catch the model) and a BMW i3.
