Hi everyone,
can you help me on how to charge a rental EV as a tourist coming from Europe, Germany?
I have rented an EV in Florida, and have emailed the major charing networks on my options and their recommendations, plus tried to check out their web site information, as some did not answer...
Have you found it easy or hard to charge on trips during Thanksgiving week, 2022?
Most Tesla drivers have no problems charging due to the plethora of Superchargers near expressways, but are there Tesla drivers worried about charging because they're driving to grandma's house deep in the woods...
Six days ago, while poking around in my Electrify America app, I found an invitation to activate Plug & Charge for my 2022 ID4 Pro S AWD (made in Germany, delivered about a month ago).
That seemed nice, that EA was helping move us all into a smoother charging experience. So I tapped and swiped...
I don't get the opportunity to use public chargers much as I just bought my EV in late May and have had few long trips.
I've had easy access to Electrify America chargers. The APP seems to work well and communicates with the charger to quickly ID my car and fire up the juice.
My other...
So VW, Audi, Polestar etc all give "free charging". How many local EV's does it take to create waiting line at EV stations that have 4 or 6 chargers. I don't have the math skills to do this exercise, but I visited the EA charging location in Lebanon, NH and there was one spot left. I just...
I recently drove to the Carolinas and back and thought I would comment on the charging stations I used for this trip, especially since my experience changed dramatically from the last time I took a long trip.
Electrify America has greatly improved their charging stations to the point where...
So I charged at an EA station in Mass., with the following session results:
Energy delivered: 38 kWh
Charging time: 00:41:55
Total cost: $6.71 ($0.16/min.) + .42 tax, = $7.13, $0.188/ kWh
The same session in Conn. would have been charged at the per kWh rate of $0.43, which would have totaled...
I recently returned from a 2-month camping trip from Massachusetts to California and back, two adults and two dogs tent camping through 12 states and staying at 22 different State Parks. Here is a blog post about the trip...
Electrify America has announced a "Kia Select" plan that will lower the fast charging costs for Niro EV owners.
Basically, it puts the Kia Niro EV in a lower pricing tier that more accurately reflects its charging speed. Electrify America puts vehicles in 3 different charging tiers assigned by...
I will soon embark on a road trip with my all-new Kona Electric vehicle. I am using https://abetterrouteplanner.com to plan my trip. Most of the charging stations along the way are powered by Electrify America. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with these charging stations and how...
InsideEVs just published a piece featuring a (really great) video of a road trip taken in a Kona Electric -- from Connecticut to Florida. It was supposed to be about the car and its capabilities, but it seemed issues with charging at Electrify America stations became a bigger issue.
The car...
I have an Electrify America Pass+ membership and I use it to charge my 2019 Kia Niro EV here in Texas. According to the information on the Electrify America website, I should not get charged more than $0.15/minute if I don't charge faster than 75 kW. I charged at three different 150 kW...
After two power system errors at the same EA site (different chargers), we have been told not to use our Clarity on EA for at least 30 days. The problem is fixed by clearing the code. There appears to be no physical damage to the vehicle. I am guessing that the Honda software "protects" the...
Anyone have any experience with this? We've owned EVs since 2001 but this one has us (and so far, Honda) stumped. We have had the car for 12 days.
The car had previously been charged at an Electrify America station, taken to a destination, level 2 charged for 3.5 hours, rested for 1.5 hours...
