Electrify America is Accelerating its rollout

[Mark Miller]

I prefer to use PlugShare. You can filter on the supplier which includes Electrify America. It is the user comments that tell if the station is really up and working.

Thank you for the heads up about PlugShare. I've been wondering if something like this (cross-network map/database) existed, but had not found it.

They just updated their map with two more stations totaling 21 now. However I'm concerned that the number of planned stations plus the already opened ones is not growing. Once they get to 64 open stations they will not have any extra site to open.

24 locations now. I could start to make stats on the roll-out.

Well I've visited 1/24 ~ 4% and found that one unreliable. Fortunately, there are two more I can visit later this week, 3/24 ~= 12% to see if they are still as unreliable.

They finally updated their map with with the other locations that were still under definition. However there is no counter of open stations anymore.

Hi Bob,

Can you recall how many cabinets there were per charger at the Electrify America charging stations?

Hi Bob,

Can you recall how many cabinets there were per charger at the Electrify America charging stations?

At Manchester TN, there are four, standing units and each has a CCS and CHAdeMo cable. Four cars can charge at one time.

Thanks Bob, I should have been more specific.

The cabinets are the big boxes behind the scenes.

@Tom Moloughney attended an Electrify America event and has the scoop about where they are now, and what we can look forward to over the next year.

Last year, the Manchester station worked only 2 of 3 times. Always the last of 4 chargers after several attempts and support calls. I am tempted to try again.
