Over the past six months or so, there have been several times where the chargers have all been full. Charger utilization at this site has increased greatly recently.

There are a fair number of vehicles that pull through the circular area to pay their utility bill using the dropbox. I don't think there is any good way to form a queue at this location.Charging on Sunday 6/4 was a hot mess. The navigation screen showed a wait at the Wickenburg charger during the entire drive from Kingman. Upon arrival, the line was 4 deep and grew to 6 during the wait. Entire stop was 45-60 minutes to get enough juice to get to Phoenix. Shared speeds peaked in the 50-60kw zone. Until Wikieup eventually opens, this site is going to be a logjam on the weekends when lots of people go to/from Vegas from Phoenix.
On a related note, why are people so bad at forming a line. If I was first to arrive and all spots were full, I'd likely drive to the end of the aisle and queue up near the mouth of the circle. Instead, there were 3 cars spaced out in the spots across from the charging stalls in no particular order and another in the opening to the lot. Chaos, I tell ya!
If you think Wickenburg is a backwoods rodeo, then you'll just love Wikieup.Its time for a charge station rating upgrade. And certainly some more chargers there. I've been through on weekdays and weekends and the limited chargers are always full with a wait most times on weekends. The more I do this trip, the more I think WikiUP is a better bail out point for charging than the back woods rodeo that is that basha's / town center in wickenburg.

Stopped in Wickenburg today to find a full charger and a short wait, followed by the normal slow and shared charge rates.Bathrooms: The SpC is in the City Hall parking lot. Unless there is a new policy, City Hall's main lobby is open 24h, with good restrooms - on your left a bit down the hallway from the SpC entrance.
Any regular charging there should explore the Main street's various - and extremely home-grown - eateries. When we frequented the area, our favorite was a sandwichery one block parallel to the main st; about two blocks "down" (east) of the SpC. But I can't recall its name now.
They're all working. I charge here twice a week and can only recall 3 times over the past several years that a stall has been down. I was likely on vacation in December 2023, so didn't experience that outage.Last time we went by here in December 2023, there were only 6 out of 8 stalls working. Anyone know if those stalls were fixed? This is a V2 station and is in pretty high demand for Phoenix to Las Vegas crowd. I managed to skip it and made it to Kingman but had to go 70 all the way there.
I've charged in Wickenburg 4 times already in 2024 and all stalls seemed operational. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday it is has been full when I've arrived to charge. All 8 stalls were in use with a car or two queued up. Would be nice if they upgraded this to V3, either entirely or by adding some stalls like Holbrook or Gila Bend. Who knows how long we'll be waiting for Wikieup. I'll be swinging through again in May and June and will report back any changes.Last time we went by here in December 2023, there were only 6 out of 8 stalls working.
