I am getting ready to do my first road trip in my AGT. Does anyone have a good gauge on the time needed to add 150 to 200 miles with a 150 or 350KW charger? I have used Plug Share to route me and am planning on stopping about every 3 hours. I will start with a full charge about 515 miles.
I'd be really surprised if anyone gives you a specific answer because in my experience it's all over the board. I can tell you that you *should* be able to get 200 miles worth of charge in 20 minutes of less on either a 150 or 350 IF everything is working properly and your car is at a low enough state of charge to accept the higher speeds from the charging station. You'll probably also want to precondition. Having said that, you could also see ridiculously slow speeds and it could take well over an hour. Sadly, it's kind of a crap shoot.
I'd second that opinion. It's a total crapshoot. Two additional wildcards are "How many chargers will be working when you get there? Will anyone be ahead of you waiting for the remaining working charger(s) ??? ""I'd be really surprised if anyone gives you a specific answer because in my experience it's all over the board.

It is always a good idea to try another Station if one is slower than expected.
Not only that but I believe "hyper-milers" subscribe to the theory that lots of short charge stops are better than fewer long ones. But, his motive was probably to test as many chargers as he could.

Yup, 2 of the notorious stations in the Valley had notices being down for 2 weeks for replacement and repair... finally.EA to replace 600 EVSEs in California. Let's hope the result will be more reliable EVSEs.
