Stopped by the Philadelphia Premium Outlets (not really even close to Philly) to satisfy my wife’s need to exchange an mis-sized garment. Figured, EA 150s are here. Why not grab some free charge and throw in a charging tutorial for my wife.
Pulled up to charger #4. Blazingly hot sun (by PA standards). Showed her how to be close enough for cord to reach. Grab cable with 2 hands to manage stiffness. Insert into charging port and witness free, self-initiating charge…..but nothing happened.
Unplugged and replugged to insure good contact. Nope. Nice lady charging a Kia 2 stalls down tried to coach me. “You need to use the EA app.“ After informing her it should initiate the charge without the EA app, I was forced to swallow my pride and try that. Nope. The app DID inform me that the charger I was using was “unavailable“. Doh! Now who needs a tutorial…
Moved 1 charger over and pulled an initial 104kw, which I’m sure tapered off as it approached 80%, but who knows. At that point, I was shopping.
