Now this is an upgrade! Electrify America just opened up their new flagship charging hub with 20 DC Fast Chargers, indoor lounge space, and 24 hour security. Michael Rosenblatt, VP of Technology, joins Kyle on camera to discuss the new site, the reliability of existing sites, and the focus of EA going into the future. Big thanks to Octavio and Michael for making the trip out to join Kyle for this video!

We could use one in Reno, once you head east on I-80 there are no big urban cities until you reach Salt Lake. More importantly though I would like to see EA add more fast charging on the rural highways in any western States! Need more than just Tesla Superchargers on these highways.

If this is a sneak peek into the future of EV urban charging, I'm very pleased! 90% of the time I charge my vehicle at home, but these sites are imperative for apartment dwellers and road trippers. Thank you for the tour Kyle and Michael!

@restonthewind 3 ай бұрын

How much does it cost to charge there, and does EA make a profit? Few apartment dwellers drive an EV even in urban areas with many public charging stations because EVs and public charging are too expensive and public charging is inconvenient. The convenience and low cost of charging at home are the best things about owning an EV. Public charging is the worst thing. It's not as bad as EV haters suggest, but it's still the worst thing. A half-hour charging stop on a five hour road trip is no big deal, but waiting so long to charge weekly, even a few times a week, would be. If I couldn't charge at home, I wouldn't drive an EV at this point. A large charging station like this one in LA or Manhattan or along an interstate makes some sense, though at this point, it seems too large for my neck of the woods in the southeastern U.S. even along an interstate. I don't use public charging much, but I've only waited once to charge, at an EA station in Greenville, SC, and then I only waited a couple of minutes. A station like this one would be practically empty most of the time, and I wonder if EA can profit from it. Apparently, they don't make a profit now, and they're my least favorite network anyway. I've always had to call customer support to start charging at EA even with their app. Their money seems better invested in improving their existing network. EVGo is my favorite network because of plug and go. Their stations often have only two plugs, but I've never waited for one. They also often provide only 50 kW. I drive a Bolt, so this limitation is not a problem for me, but it may explain why other EVs avoid them. If this one is no easier to use than every other EA station I've used, I'd try it once and never be back. To be fair, EA says that they've fixed problems with their stations and app, but I haven't tested the claim yet.

When an EA executive says "we know the network's not perfect, we own that", I think it would be constructive to question their past failures to communicate during mass outage events that have left drivers stranded. Network uptime is one half of what is needed to increase driver confidence, the other half is communication. Drivers need to know that a charging site is operational before they get there, and EA has a history of going into hiding when chargers go down. A transparency increasing followup question could have inspired confidence in their network and by extension EV ownership in the US as a whole.

It was a marathon drive (no preconditioning), in temps down to 15 degrees. It was, as I promised him it would be, an adventure! (We live in Sacramento, California. I drive a Tesla Model 3 SR+.) So many stories. So many chargers. So many bizarre, and a couple scary, encounters. Nearly all at EA. And we lived to tell our story!

No fluff...ANGER! Sounds like you would know the Colorado I-70 Dillon/Frisco area. Important corridor. A week ago I reported a broken plug (reporting available) at the one EA site in the area. A week later only one of four chargers are working. I'm livid at the failures of Electrify America which have profound impacts on drivers and the EV industry as a whole. Great video, the future looks bright, I hate to be negative. But when they don't fix reported problems along a busy corridor, it's unacceptable. More reliability...less flagshit!
