Road trip was from Green Valley AZ to Wellfleet MA, June 4th~8th, in our MY. Distance was 2821 miles. Seventeen Superchargers were used (this wasn’t a race, we took our time), all worked as they should. I tried six
Electrify America chargers over a three day period. One failed completely and in one instance I have to move to another stanchion and restart the
Electrify America application on my phone as well as well (the app locked solid).
Electrify America is a funny bird. When they work they work just fine. When they don’t, well, they don’t. When the
Electrify America site failed, located in Weatherford OK, I had a nearby Supercharger place to go to. Not trusting
Electrify America I made sure all my
Electrify America stops were near Supercharger locations.
At each
Electrify America stop I plugged the adapter onto the CCS1 plug, inserted the plug in the car and accessed the proper stanchion on the app on my phone. One swipe and if the unit worked in a few seconds I had electricity. Power received was excellent.
The reason I didn’t try more
Electrify America sites was, one, because my wife really liked the simplicity, reliability and ease of use of the Tesla chargers, and, two, the last couple of days of the trip it poured rain, and we just didn’t want the hassle of dealing with
Electrify America.
In short the CCS1 adapter worked just fine. It opens up quite a few locations for us Tesla drivers. I hope
Electrify America becomes as reliable as our Supercharger network soon.
