    UP of Michigan to receive its first fast DC charger but..

    They would need more grant money to fund additional changers. Current charger is not located where bathrooms or food service is. One has to walk 1-1.5 blocks to gas station for this. McDonalds is like 4 blocks away on US2. The location is not well lighted for night time use.

    A 150kW CCS DCFC fast charging station has existed in the UP for over 18 months at the Smithers Winter Test Center off of US-28. However, it is not open to the public but the major auto companies (with Ford a known heavy user) use it with winter testing of their newest EV offerings.

    Did a koolaid spill stop you from seeing this is NOT a Tesla supercharger site?---Since Tesla has not moved on installing any chargers in the UP a DCFC charger is better than NO Tesla charger in the UP. Been thru the area many times as I have a home in Wisconsin 80 miles from this location...

    UP of Michigan to receive its first fast DC charger but..

    It is got to be a 25kW charger based upon the grant figure. Better than nothing and L2 chargers. I am aware of another Michigan based EV car charger vendor that is actively scouting and wants to install their chargers elsewhere in the UP. Time will tell when and if this occurs.

    Mustang Mach E? What will I forgo?

    The 250kW verse 150kW charging numbers are just numbers. It is the charging curve that is telling. A post elsewhere with the "Fastner" label has the Mach e hanging onto just over 100kW charging rate (after the peak 150kW) to 70% where it drops quickly.

    Mercedes EQS will have 435+ miles range

    I see 50kW and 100 kW chargers referred to at the Kona and Niro sites. I have not read of or heard of a 75kW charger. I have read of 120kW charger becoming a 62.5 kW charger when two vehicles are using the same charger but never a 150kW charger becoming a 75kW charger with two users.
