Not really. Continue to receive input from a Model 3 owner on the West Coast who continues to report on varying levels of output with a lifetime average of 98kW Supercharging.
Still the best charging option available... Harvard Business Review: Tesla Superchargers leave competitors 'in the dust" "According to the authors, "The reason why consumers still choose Teslas over products like Audi’s eTron or attractive EVs from GM’s Buick, Cadillac, GMC, and Chevy brands is perhaps surprisingly simple. They can drive their Teslas for long distances in full confidence that they will find convenient locations at which to recharge their vehicle. While the incumbent automakers are still focused narrowly on perfecting their electric cars, Tesla has been thinking about the entire vehicle system, with the aim of solving consumers’ core driving needs." In contrast, looking at the options for legacy automakers, "the network of available [non-Tesla] charging stations is highly fractured across ownership and technology. The next largest network, compared to Tesla, is only 10% as large. Unless you buy a Tesla, you have few options for reliable route planning, guaranteed access, and rapid public charging."
This is where you have to give Elon high praise, not only did he design and manufacture at nice looking BEV from the ground up, he looked into why people would not buy them and installed Tesla superchargers through out the world. So far no other car manufacturer has done this even though they are marketing and manufacturing all electric vehicles.
I fully agree with Merrill. Bigger and better than that, he has forced ALL other car companies to start making EVs right away.
I generally agree with this. Tesla is the only company to deploy its own widespread network. Although, it’s true that Ionity in Europe is a consortium of several non-Tesla automakers. In the U.S. those car companies are instead relying on VW’s Electrify America court settlement.
Code: https://www.plugshare.com/location/244754 in Oneonta, NY 13820 was called out in Electrify America Network - Page 150 - My Nissan Leaf Forum. Oddly, (per EA's app), it has TWO CHAdeMO (on TWO different chargers, yay) and 6 CCS. And, allegedly, the CHAdeMO handles are capable of up to 100 kW. This is quite a deviation from their usual crippling CHAdeMO to 50 kW and only installing 1 CHAdeMO and 5 to 7 CCS at each site...
The EA app shows that this site is associated with the EVolveNY charger network. So, that is probably why it has better CHAdeMO support than other EA sites. NYPA's EVolve NY opens first of many 350kW charging stations that will blanket the state - Electrek
Wow! TIL. That also might be related to why it's "only" 35 cents per kWh in NY per Pricing and Plans for EV Charging | Electrify America (above article refers to that rate) whereas most of the rest of the US on EA that's on per kWh billing get screwed with 43 cents/kWh for guests/Pass users.
I got a free session on EA tonight (finished around 10:15 pm Pacific time) thanks to the hint at Complimentary charging on EA today in Tennessee.... My reply was in post 6 there. Good day to charge at EA, and yet another reason why I... has the supposed reason why. I wonder how long they'll remain free.
