Hi everyone,
I’m a long time EV driver (first one being a Twizzy back in 2013) and I was wondering: have you ever waited to charge on DC fast charger on the highway for example?
One of my ev-skeptic colleagues told me I saw multiple lines of multiple EVs waiting to charge on the highway this summer. I never witnessed it or being through this myself and I’m more incline to think that this is grossly exaggerated but you never really know… so have you had such experience?
I don’t have an EV but two years ago was in a rental Chevy Bolt EUV for 6 weeks while our Kia Soul waited on an engine replacement (Kia paid for the rental). Both times I tried to DC Fast Charge I had to wait because the locations only had 1 working charger. One location is nearby and I have seen the equipment there has since been replaced. I don’t know the status of the other one because it’s located a couple hours away from me. It looks like the charging infrastructure/availability has noticeably improved in that time, though, when I look into it.
