Charging Standards

So... I stopped by the new Microtel in Monahans, TX. They installed a pair of 80A destination chargers. Since I'm a Wyndham member they were kind enough to let me charge without getting a room. AWESOME I plug in but the car won't pull >12A.... I'm probably the 1st or 2nd person to ever use...

I'm planning a trip to Bellevue WA this weekend and was wondering if I had to worry about waiting in line or slow charging at the Centralia SC.

I had trouble using my J1772 adapter at a Chargepoint station over the weekend .The adapter would not click into the J1772 plug and so charging would not start. There were 4 different stations at this one garage and I tried 2 of them. I have previously had a problem with an EATON charger in...

Not at a charger, but in on some public street parking someone threatened to rub dog poop all over my car if I parked there again (seems worse for them, carwashes are automatic). I can only assume since their driveway was full that they were spilling out into the street to park.

I'm sure it's already been suggested, but what I would find very useful when turning up at a supercharger centre is to see how complete a station is to finishing a charge. When you pull into a petrol station, you don't mind waiting as you know it won't be long. But at a supercharger centre, you...

Can I remove a 15-50 and replace with an HPWC? Of course, switches would need to be set for appropriate circuit capacity and charge at 40A. I read the HPWC manual and said must be connected with non flammable conduit. Is a face plate with a short conduit stub into the back of the WC...

I've read about high speed charging supposedly coming. OUTSTANDING ! But, does anyone have any idea if it will be available for Tesla's made in 2016 or 2015?

So we're debating wether or not if we should replace our current wall charger with a Tesla Wall Connector, but if we do I would love it if I could move it away from the house and closer to the parking space itself. But to do so I would need to put something in place that the Wall Connector could...

Anyone have any idea where the Kitsap Peninsula charger will be at? I think a great location would be at the main and vine shopping plaza. This higher end grocery store/plaza would be a good place. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So a week or so ago, I'm at the North Houston combined SuperCharger and Showroom. I deliberately ran down my SOC to about 3 RM to see what kind of current the chargers would give me. Since it was close to dawn, I had all six SuperChargers to myself. Temperatures were hovering around 27ºF, and...

You arrive to a SuperCharger with 15% or less State of Charge (SoC). The Supercharger is empty, except for you. Ambient temperatures are room temperature or colder, but above freezing. Your car is in good condition/repair. What is the lowest kW you think is reasonable to expect during the first...

We visited Disneyland on Friday (1/6/17) and found they were diverting cars to offsite parking at 8:00am! I looped around Katella to Harbor to Ball and pulled up to the people at the cones blocking the entrance to the ramp. To my surprise as I got closer they moved the cones out of the way. When...

ChargePoint just released the First charger on the market that blows the Tesla Supercharger out of the water. With the ability to charge at 400KW, using technology already found in Tesla Superchargers. The CEO of the company has also said that he would install a Tesla plug if Tesla worked with...

I recently decided it's time to update my current setup in the garage. I currently have a NEMA 14-50R installed, wired directly to my main panel in the basement, into which I plug my UMC. Additionally, my garage has a single 120V outlet and two single light bulbs on the ceiling. Since these are...

Hello all; I'm about to purchase a few OpenEVSE's to install EVSEs at home, at work and build a mobile one like the Fivari charger to charge 3 phase, single phase in Europe. (whatever I have available) I believe I've looked at everything available online during research, however there's no one...

I sent an email to a mall to complain about the ICEing problem. Seems like really nobody can do anything about it... How unfortunate. This is their response:

open....anybody there.....pics......☮☮☮

Found this today: "The Governors of Colorado, Utah and Nevada today jointly announced that they will work together over the next year to develop complementary plans for building an electric vehicle charging network across key highway corridors in their states. The corridors will include...

I saw a disturbing video of a line ~21 deep in Barstow... no doubt some of these cars only needed a few kWh to make it where they were going... I thought it'd be interesting to see the communities response to the idea of an 'Express Bay'. Where idle fees start after ~15 minutes or so. IMO this...

Didn't see this posted yet, apologies if it was. Elon Musk teases new ‘Tesla Supercharger V3’ with over 350 kW power output and off-grid solar + Powerpacks

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or map of ALL known chargers that you can use? Not JUST the Tesla superchargers but ones that are equivalent or can be used for daily travel to and from customers etc. I have a google maps map that I made with all my customer locations and would...

I am planning a cross country road trip this summer and I've read a bunch of posts that paint a clear picture that there is quite a bit of variability in how enjoyable a Supercharger stop can be based on factors like: number of stalls, congestion, nearby food/drink options, etc. Is there an...

There is ICEing. And there is this guy.

Supercharger | Tesla Looks bit more filled out then the 2016 map, hope the can at least finish what that had for planed 2015 in 2017. ;)

Pulled into the main Montreal 12 slot SC last night as I was nearing 40 km of available range. What I saw floored me! 6 Teo Montreal Tesla taxis sitting there charging. They were a combination of Model S 60D's and Model S's. This isn't right! They should be charging elsewhere shouldn't they? I...

(Oops, posted in wrong group, please ignore) I had one Wall Connector that did: 35 mi/hr 230V 48/80A I just added another one and daisy chained and now they charge at: 13 mi/hr 230V 20/20A Model S 75D 4 mi/hr 230V 20/20A Model X 90D The batteries are super cold right now (they where...

Okay, so you spend a lot of time over the weekend availing yourself of free power that someone is making available to the community. The least you could do is put the paddle back in the holster instead of leaving it in a snowbank! You do know these things don't work when they're wet...

I just learned that Philadelphia will put a charger right in front of an EV owner's house with an EV-only parking sign. There is a $150 set-up fee and $75/year renewal fee. Pretty amazing: » Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Everything you Need to Know I wonder if this program will survive...

I am preparing to put in a HWPC. I want to set it up for 100A for future use, possibly for a second HPWC. I also have an outlet in my garage I used for welding (NEMA 6-50). So a sub-panel makes sense. I'd like to run 100A from my main panel to the garage, then to the local outlets and HWPC. I...

How about this to deal with congestion at impacted Superchargers? For any Supercharger station that is at 100% usage for 1/3 or more of the time, drivers need to check in either online or by phone to Tesla to get assigned a SC slot. Cars are organized first come first charged on two lists; one...

Both 1B and 3a malfunctioning. Lot is full with one waiting behind me; no one in cars for at least 30 minutes. Lol: cars appear to be all locals. Got a loaner from Dania beach that was undercharged for my trip and thus had to charge here. Glad I don't have to come by here often.

BMW Group, Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group with Audi & Porsche Plan a Joint Venture for Ultra-Fast, High-Power Charging Along Major Highways in Europe | marsMediaSite Hopefully Tesla does compatible adapter.

Forgive me if there is another thread, but I am amazed at the progress of destination chargers. Here in the USA we have passed 1800 locations with a destination charger. Way to go Tesla and with an adapter even Roadsters can use them :)

All, Can anyone confirm and or Post a picture of another Type 2 EV being charged off a European Tesla Type 2 Wall Connector? Just want to know for sure that it works. Adam.

we actually spent more time charging than driving due to the lack of super chargers in AZ and NM. The I10 is one of the most traveled corridors in America from Los Angeles to Texas after casa grande no Super chargers

I remember reading about the horror stories of owners reporting Superchargers experiencing hours long backups last year in CA. Will history repeat itself?

I've pretty much made up my mind to buy a Prius Prime plug-in early next year, either as my only *EV for a while or in addition to an M3 when my reservation comes up. So for now I'll need a J1772 charging solution. I'd like to future-proof my charging needs, and if not too expensive, install a...

Birmingham, AL Supercharger | Tesla

where can I buy?

ill be spending quite a few weekends at the village at Squaw this winter. I've confirmed with them that they do have a few chargers available to guests though the guy I spoke with didn't know what kind they were. Does anyone have experience charging there that can probably vide some insight...

An Update to Our Supercharging Program

Looks like it is official now. Tesla officially announces end of free Supercharging, new ‘Supercharging credit program’ starts in 2017

It's 1 degree Celsius and I'm trying to get home. I have 160 km rated left. I have 102km to go. Model X 90D. I'm using AP, going 5km over the posted limit. No heat (I'm cold!) and my rated range is dropping fast. I've checked and re-checked plug share. Anything on my way either isn't open or...

I've heard of EV owners offering up their home charger to other EV travelers. Does anyone know of an app or site that maps or identifies participants?
