Regional routes are designated highway where Electrify America is adding stations.I don’t really understand what I’m looking at? What are “regional routes” for example?
And in fact, here is the first EA site I noticed that does not have a CHAdeMO connector:For an obvious reason, Electrify America has zero incentive in keeping CHAdeMO working and is aleady trying to phase out CHAdeMO.
You should make one specifically for Electrify America.As you can see, I am creating a companion to supercharge.info & the discussion threads for non-Tesla fastchargers (not just ElectrifyAmerica). It's still early days so not much activity yet, but if you want to help jump start the tracking of non-Tesla DC fastchargers, join me at fastcharger.info
(I will post later on with my experience on a road trip using EA sites in my wife's ID.4 and how it compares to the same trip on the Supercharger network)
It's official policy.And in fact, here is the first EA site I noticed that does not have a CHAdeMO connector:
Can you break it down by CHAdeMO vs CCS?This is data I've been keeping collecting their plugscore data:

Left: average Plugscore values, out of 10. Blue is all stations, green excludes stations rated 0, which are often newer ones that just haven't recieved enough ratings yet. Right: breakdown of fleet by Plugscore.

Left: growth of network, broken down by reliability. Right: Reliability stackup, excluding 0-rated stations.
I can't report by plug or plug type at a site, Plugshare only reports sites overall. On the top left chart, I'm cheating--the % is the same scale as the out-of-ten plugscore scale. However, your question did make me realize due to an excel formula issue, the charts weren't updated with the last four months of data, which is now corrected below.Can you break it down by CHAdeMO vs CCS?
If Plugshare is to be believe, it seems like every 1 of 4 Electrify America stations have non-working CHAdeMO.
Also, the top left graph doesn't have percentage so I don't know how you could have "% unreliable chargers".
It looks like Electrify America stations have gotten significantly more reliable over time.I can't report by plug or plug type at a site, Plugshare only reports sites overall.

Left: average Plugscore values, out of 10. Blue is all sites, green excludes sites rated 0, which are often newer ones that just haven't received enough ratings yet. Excluding them helps remove penalties during periods of faster network growth. Red is fraction of unreliable sites, defined as sites rated 1, 2, 3, or 4, and read as a percent (e.g. today's unreliable percentage is 1.47%) Right: breakdown of charger sites by Plugscore.

IIRC, the issues were identified in 2019, but the big replacement actually came in fall 2020? It's why there's the massive drop-off in unreliable chargers around 9/20, the number of 0-rated stations rises about the same time (from those stations being offline long enough to need to have their plugscore reset to 0) and the resulting improvement seen over the next several months as the newly refit stations were re-rated with their improved reliability.It looks like Electrify America stations have gotten significantly more reliable over time.
Back in 2019, Electrify America went so far as to remove and replaced many unreliable chargers
Some Electrify America sites have been going offline due to a cooling system issue
Roughly 30 Electrify America locations have been experiencing a problem with chargers shutting themselves down for CCS charging due to a problem in their liquid-cooled cable system within the charg…electricrevs.com
Some of the ones I've seen in Missouri, the screens were so sunbleached and washed out that they were illegible and therefore unusable. Hopefully they've fixed those too.Other users have report that the credit card readers on the machines can be very problematic and recommend using the Electrify America app for payment.

What was the total settlement penalty for Dieselgate and how much have they spent? What happens when VW pays its prentice? Do they continue building or do they wash their hands and sell out with a potential windfall? I’ve always been leery of companies force by a court order to pay for their crime. Their heart is not into it and at the first opportunity look to get out from under it abandoning the folks they are supposed to be compensating.
I think that it is best to always have an alternative.
