  1. Road Trip Report And Long Trip Discussions
    This weekend I am taking my first long haul, multiple charging stop road trip and I'm excited! Trip is 650 miles -1300 miles round trip- from Ohio to the East Coast, and back. Staying overnight halfway through on the drive out, but will be doing it all in one shot on the return trip a week...
  2. Charging Stations Discussion
    It's an EV driver's nightmare. We were stuck in the middle of nowhere with an Electrify America charging station that wouldn't charge our car. It could have been worse. It was only 100 °F (38 °C) and not 120 °F (49 °C). The wind was only blowing at 15-20 mph (7-9 m/s) and not 20-40 mph (9-18...

  6. Charging Stations Discussion
    This week a friend on an EV road trip became stranded at the Herkimer NY EA DCFC when all four units failed to work. How can we all help each other to try to prevent this from happening again? What can we do? EA can’t fix what they do not know is broken, unlike a gas station the EA host...
