I was waiting for someone to notice it. I saw it when I pulled up, and was like... "niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice"

Yeah, I realized that was a possibility after I hit 'post'. All in all, an interesting site, interestingly enough I didn't see any ID4s there while I was charging, but saw plenty of VW billboards advertising that they were built locally, while driving up and down I-75 into Georgia. and was...

Today made a trip down to Georgia to get Del Taco (There aren't any in Tennessee), and stopped at the EA station just outside of Chattanooga, (Collegedale, TN); They've got an 8 stall set-up, which somewhat makes sense since the ID4 is made down the street at the Chattanooga - VW USA factory...

Current CCS iteration is for 500 amps, rivians are definitely sucking down Max amps, just as my model 3 is, at a 350kw max charger. Both vehicles being limited by pack voltage, and Max amps supplied BY CCS. My model 3 only being able to take 185 ish kW. (375v @500A) Since tesla does their own...

The F150 lightning AND rivians could definitely use faster charging than what they have currently... While the cybertruck will probably be more efficient than the flying bricks of their competitors, I can't see the unladen efficiency being better than 400wh/mi, and 100kwh packs probably being...

Based on your signature, you bought the peasant versions of your S and X. /s

Still in stock as of 1400 eastern, I also did not receive an "In-stock notification" just happened to see it on TMC. I bought my CMC in 2019 back when they were out of stock and I bought it from another TMC member, honestly I cannot remember the last time I saw them in stock prior to now...

All of these summaries are within about 1-3kw of what was reported by ScanMyTesla. Since teslafi only polls every minute, they don't always catch the peak, if it lasts for less than one minute.

In my experience, the text message summary that electrify america sends you when the charging is complete, is by far more accurate than what is displayed in the charging history within the app. My assumption on how EA derived the "215kw" number is by taking the max pack voltage and multiplying...

How a 4 unit supercharger makes sense anywhere along a route even remotely traveled, in 2022... Completely escapes me. If these were v3 then maybe it could work in the summer, but in winter vehicles need to be sure not to run out of power between Richfield and Green River. Personally I'm...

My very first test charge on my ccs, was also at a Volta charger, similar charge rate as yours for similar SoC (sorta).

Yes. Crossed i-70 4 ish times, yeah. (I live in California) I was not impressed with Hays or Salina, Goodland was OK.

I suppose the only good thing, is that if you've either the chademo or ccs adapters, there is a public DCFC at the local Utah DOT yard, that's free, and then there's a standard sized electrify America station down the road a few miles.

Sounds like Richfield, UT. One of the worst parts of the East-West Supercharger network...

last one so far.

I'd believe it. This trip out west, I'm actually skipping most of the tesla Supers, just to prove it could be done for around the same cosf using EA or EVgo.

I charged at that EA station in "Washington, UT" on 6/28 and maxed out at 32kw... I was only connected for 10 mins but only received 4kwh. There was no warning on the EA app, but a display prompt on the dispensers advising of a reduced service. There were 3 ID4s charging next to me... I got...

Agree.

I second @Earl 's point... Interstate 80 (across Wyoming) is a no-go for non-teslas even in summer. Interstate 80 in my opinion is not passable in a tesla in winter. There are too few locations and way too many spots where one could literally be iced in... 🌨 ❄ I charged at the EA in Evanston...

I have yet to use a CC reader on EA, mostly because the app, mostly works, and the readers essentially never work. I did use the NFC, and thought for sure it was charging my credit card based on the Google pay prompt, but EA splash screen said "Welcome username"

I charged at beaver on 6/28 (2022), but didn't notice whether the v2 stations were covered or removed (it was 11pm and ☔, was surprised to see the car wash removed) I pulled into the v3 stations as I always do, and the beaver stations have a placard indicating 250kw above them.

EA's reliability is garbage. However.... I drove 2400 miles from Los Angeles to Cincinatti, and then to Knoxville. I charged probably 70/30 Supercharger vs EA. in every single instance EA was cheaper. In some cases it broke down to around 10-14c/kwh. but, the reliability was atrocious...

Last year when I charged at the old Kingman (6 Stall v2), I was getting a whole 7kw. The car on the paired stall next to me was getting about 20. Between all 6 cars, we figured out there was some issue at the transformer or the other equips, because there was less than 100kw available to all...

I assumed they were looking for a link. 🤦‍♂️ But I'm sure OP can Google just as well as using tmc forums

21 replies, and not one person answered the OP's actual question. https://store.clippercreek.com/cs-100-80-amp-ev-charging-station https://chargers.ford.com/products/ford-charge-station-pro Could be useful if you have a Ford lightning, or other EV that can accept that much power. Rivian...

Being in Phoenix, you should definitely invest in heat rejection film/ceramic tint. I used to regularly drive from LA to Scottsdale, and wished I had gotten my car tinted. As to your original question, you'll be fine, as long as you can charge it at home every night. I managed to survive...

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6852456/ I tested this out, across a 2400 mile road trip, and yep. It's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper at EA vs Tesla.

Hypothesis : time based Tesla supercharging is significantly more expensive than electrify America, (and that's before the EA pass plus.) I just drove 2400 miles across i-80, and used electrify America a half dozen times where it made sense to do so. So. Crunching the numbers here, I...

It seems that time based supercharging is significantly more expensive than electrify America, and that's before the EA pass plus. I just drove 2400 miles across i-80, and used electrify America a half dozen times where it made sense to do so. So. Crunching the numbers here, I charged at...

Can confirm. Am nearby charging at EA hahaha. (it's cheaper if you have CCS)

Buy now.

Harum.io like everyone else. https://www.harum.io/products/tesla-ccs-combo-1-adapter-chademo-adapter Takes between 1-3 weeks to get the item (comes factory sealed from Tesla) if you're in Canada, you may have to pay an import duty.

Does 30' 50A count? (no tt30 though)

Yeah. That's what I meant by interesting. Glad you got talked out of using Romex... It would have been even tougher to make that 90° turn, definitely would have needed the double gang box.

You can drive home in service mode, as long as you remove the speed limiter. Anecdotally, it sounds like it's harder to find a gen4 ECU now (some service centers are making it difficult), than it has been in previous months.

Interesting that you chose a single gang box to gather your wires. Looks slick. Enjoy your 48a charging experience!

These were taken on an electrify America 350kw station, at between 175-180 kW. (sorry for the imperial units, I forgot to switch to metric for science's sake)

OP should be good, since he dropped the neutral and upsized from #6 to #4. Hard wired EVSE, doesn't require GFCI breaker.

There is not. Your local home depot or lowe's might not even have red #4 thhn available by the foot. (mine is out of stock...) though it is acceptable to use black for both hot lines, as long as you mark with red tape for either L1 or L2. You can use an adaptor, but be aware that the inside...

I went to North Rim but from the other side (Phoenix) last April, and the La Quinta in Kanab is awesome. (we stayed there) Unfortunately when we stayed there all 4 stations were iced by night time. However there is a DCFC in Kanab at the public utility yard not more than 2 blocks away (though...

The 350kw liquid cooled electrify America cables are heavy and stiff, found that one of the stations I charged at I could physically reach, but the cable was so stiff, I couldn't rotate the connector around to the right orientation, without putting too much torque on the ccs adapter. And this...

My chosen route to get to big bear is almost always hwy 38 over onyx summit, it's the longest, the least crowded, and snowiest (onyx summit is 8400' iirc) ... Also has the best scenery on the way up, 138/18/330 don't hold a candle. Onyx summit however is impassible after a major snow storm...

I agree. However on the rare occasion that you can't get back down 330 due to road washout or accident, can't get out west on 18 due to ice/accidents, etc. And are stuck with 18 east through Lucerne, or 38 over onyx summit, this station will definitely be useful for you. I haven't gone up...

@shad9876 Honestly though, good luck. I hope that cca/Chademo works out for you, these cars are meant to be fast charged so you can actually use them.

Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

Why would you do this? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5634600/

https://www.plugshare.com/location/409692 2x 100 kW CCS/Chademo units Not quite live yet, but useful for those with CCS or Chademo adapters. I can see this being quite busy in winter especially if you can't go out to the west to get to Lake Arrowhead.

Need a bit more information. Where is the wiring terminating? Garage? Outlet? Exterior surface? Is it terminating to an outlet, or a hard wired EVSE? If terminating to an outlet, most likely requires gfci breaker. EVSE, does not. Wiring wise - Romex should be secured to the studs when...

I added another 60' of cable to the end of my extension, and while the corded mobile connector throttled down, it didn't do it immediately, took 17 minutes to throttle down. The mobile connector with the 14-50 adapter ran at 32 amps without any throttling, even when the voltage dropped to a...
