We just made the 900 mile trip from Ft. Pierce to Milton, Delaware. What a nightmare EA charging, or lack thereof was!! Every stop required (1) a call to EA, (2) multiple attempts to reconnect (3) extended conversations with EA reps while they processed the reboot of their charger(s) and (4) processing a complimentary charge. What should have been a 30-minute charge often took almost an hour (leaving out the time required to wait for one of the few working chargers to become available). The charging speeds ranged from 40kw to 165kw (once only). When you add in the range anxiety caused by the apprehension associated with the ever-present uncertainty surrounding an upcoming charge at an EA station, it was a horribly stressful trip. A final tip - on one of those extended conversations with an especially helpful EA agent, she mentioned that Lucid's inability to connect merely by plugging in to an EA charger has been a continuing problem whose resolution is indeterminate at this time. Both Lucid & EA are well aware of the problem, but no one seems to know what, or when, a solution will be implemented.
As depressing as that tidbit was, it was infinitely more helpful than one EA agent who went into a 5-minute spiel about how EA is investing in new technology that would lessen the frequency of the need for such calls to EA. All this at b.s. at 11pm in the middle of a 18-hour trip when all I wanted was to charge & get some sleep. Good grief Charlie Brown !!!
