The Electrify America charging station at 205 Deaderick Rd, Forrest City, AR 72335 (Walmart) is open and fully operational.
4 stations total, two of them are dual 350 KW CCS stations, one dual 150 KW CCS station, and one 150 KW CCS / 50 KW CHAdeMO combo station.
This gives us four 350 KW CCS plugs and 3 150 KW CCS plugs for Bolt EV use
I will do some digging around here, but any hard data would be appreciated: Does the Bolt EV charge identically on 350 KW and 150 KW stations? I would assume so, but it is foolish to treat assumptions as facts
Also, do we have charts showing charging rate vs SOC on high KW rated stations yet?
Thanks,
Keith

Yes, because the maximum charge reported is at 51 kW per hour. There are several other posts mentioning the power flowing at DC chargers.I will do some digging around here, but any hard data would be appreciated: Does the Bolt EV charge identically on 350 KW and 150 KW stations?

I have found this to be pretty accurate:
https://www.chevybolt.org/forum/82-charging-batteries/14002-dc-fast-charging-performance.html
From what I can gather, the Electify America chargers follow the 150A+ chart pretty closely. I'm anxious to try it out myself next time I am near an EA charger.
I know that is not accurate since I was charging at 54.46 KW on my first (and only so far) CCS charging session.
I was at 53% SOC when I started charging, so 54.46 KW correlates pretty well with the 150 amp charging line.
I may have to move my OBD2 bluetooth dongle from my Miata to the Bolt EV and download the appropriate pid's and do a charging session from low SOC to full... sucks that the payment for these is expensive ($1.00 hook up and $.35 per min) A full charge from near zero to 100% would take around $40 wouldn't it?

Interesting (and encouraging) to see EA sites popping up in the podunk/flyover states (no offense). They need the fast chargers more than the major metropolitan areas. Montana is set to get its first 2 CCS fastcharging sites!The Electrify America charging station at 205 Deaderick Rd, Forrest City, AR 72335 (Walmart) is open and fully operational.

No love for the Dakotas though. Lol

Any and all additional charging stations are encouraging! The more the better!
Yikes! In CA, EVgo is $.20/minute for a 40 minute session at 50kW max. No connect charge. Close to half of whatever CCS charging network you're using.
Yes, $.2 per min for 40 min around 30 KW for $8.00
A Porsche at the 350 KW station would gain 35 KW in 6 min and pay $3.10, $2.10 for the time and the $1.00 hook up fee.
The economics for the fast charging cars at the 350 KW stations are favorable, us poor bastards with slow charging are left behind.

Is Podunk that quaint commuter town on the outskirts of East never mind
On a serious note: do you know whereabouts in Montana?
Missoula and Dell Montana. Looks like the west edge of the state.Is Podunk that quaint commuter town on the outskirts of East never mind

Take a look at https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locations
Or take a look at plugshare. Both locations are listed on both of those web sites.

Thanks .. noticed many upcoming El-Am chargers are at Walmart supercenters; probably not coincidence, as Walmart has been looking for a new lease on life under the pressure from online-only retailers?
Looks like they have already finished up in Virginia...nothing more "coming soon." They have one at their headquarters, in amount two dozen already around DC, and one on I-81, between the one in Staunton, and the one in Blacksburg. That leaves a 236 mile gap, on a mountainous, 80 mph interstate, to the next one in Dandridge, Tennessee. Mission accomplished!

Walmart signed agreement with Electrify America
April 2018, for 100 Walmart stores to receive chargers. 80% intended to be near highways, and 20% in metro areas. The chargers will be a mix of L2 & DC. Walmart expects to have it completed in June 2019. EA has also indicated its preference for placing chargers on I-80 & I-10 coast to coast, so expect any Walmart on those two interstates to be probable recipients. Also, EA has recently signed agreement with Simon Property Group, a high end mall & retail property owner. The Gulfport Mall in MS is one of theirs, and has DC chargers now.
