should've come to the one in Duarte
Surprisingly, given it had only been 2 or 3 weeks it’s actually showed up in the chargers section. Even started auto pre-conditioning when I got closer to the site.
That’s great, I was worried about the Gravity charger navigation database as it’s not like you can choose “BP” or “Alpitronic” but I guess if you say all chargers it was listed which is excellent. The Air navigation doesn’t show lots of DCFC for me like the Shell recharge by the airport here is invisible to the Air.
On our road trips I've found I have to verify all the details and availability in PlugShare before I accept a planned stop.
This was a one off test and with 48 chargers at least one was going to be working. On road trips I’ve set the route planner to default to Tesla only. I’m not dealing with the headaches the other charging providers cause.
Wow…. That didn’t last long!
Was the station busy? Maybe the charging cabinets share power between posts, similar to the way Tesla V2 Superchargers do? I think some EAs do that too.
No, it was empty. All the stations are now marked with 150kw stickers and on the screen they all say 150kw =*( I was hoping it would go above that if I was the only one charging, but sadly it capped out at 150kw
The Alpitronic 400 kW units are designed for flexible power distribution. In other words, if one EV is asking for 100kW then another EV can theoretically ask for 250kW off the same unit and it not be a problem.
Yea that's why I went! I checked every single stall. Was very disappointed.
