I used the CCS near me. Worked fine. The App is good.

I was finally able to perform a non-scientific "test" with my CCS adapter. The process to connect to Electrify America network wasn't as quick and seamless as I had anticipated. Perhaps it was user error since this was my first time using one of their chargers. Anyhow, I preconditioned the battery via the Navigate as the EA charger is co-located with Tesla SCs. I live about 10 miles (or 16 minutes) from the charging location. I presume I could've gotten a faster charging rate had I preconditioned the battery longer. See details below:

Charger: Electrify America 350kw
Vehicle: 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance
Start state of charge: 9%
End state of charge: 49%
Total energy delivered: 33 kWh
Max charging rate: 184 kW
Charging time: 00:13:02
Charging cost: $0.32/minute (non-member)
Total charging cost: $4.17

wow. that's expensive!
Still significantly cheaper than the $0.58 per kWh.. which is now the daytime Supercharger rate in CA.


And if you use it often.. pay $4 a month for the membership plan which drops the rates another 25% to $0.31 per kWh.. almost HALF the price of Tesla's Superchargers during the day.

Hell a Model S/Y owner really only needs to charge up around 10x during the day while using an EA CCS charger in CA.. to fully recoup the entire cost of the CCS1 adapter. Model 3/Y about 13x.

$0.43 is correct in this means zero dollars and 43 cents or .43 dollars which I think we all agree is 43 cents.

Here is a grade 3 math test. https://www.math4texas.org/Page/379
The problem is that people are putting both. $2 would read as "2 dollars". 2 cents would read as two cents.

$2 cents would read as 2 dollars cents, which makes no sense.

Sorry, just had to add my .02 cents (probably worth about that).
