Here's a fact: of all the "planned" ones in the US on the map, no one has actually pulled a permit to build one, and there's been nothing stopping them from doing so.
So you’re claiming that the two locations that are already open in Massachusetts and Virginia were put in without permits? That seems very unlikely.
Ten other locations are listed as “coming soon” and there is a photo of at least one of those sites showing construction has started.
They have said they have 40 signed leases in California with design work already under way and permitting happening this quarter. All of the California DC locations are being designed and constructed by Black and Veatch who do Tesla’s Supercharger locations so they know what they are doing.
You readily give Porsche a pass based on your faith in them.
No, I’m just reporting their plans and their progress towards meeting those plans. By the time anyone is actually signing the paperwork to buy a Mission E in the United States in late 2019 or the first half of 2020 it will already be obvious how much Porsche and Electrify America have kept to their schedule.
I was recently talking to a Bolt owner at the Kamloops supercharger where he relied on a Clipper Creek at 6 kW while I was supercharging and I discussed his CCS and fast charging options -- which really are pathetic.
There has been CHAdeMO in Kamloops since 2013 and CCS since March of 2018.
After a few planned FLO DC locations open by summer this year there will be usable CCS coverage in much of the populated and tourist regions of BC, Alberta, eastern Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Western Ontario don’t have CCS or CHAdeMO coverage but then they don’t have Supercharger coverage either.
I plan to drive through BC and up to Edmonton later this year in my Bolt EV using CCS.
