The Electric Vehicle (EV) discussion thread (Merged)
Yesterday I was out for my son’s birthday. Drove all over the place and found my truck at 19% SoC with a decent distance left to drive home. Fortunately there was a relatively new Tesla Supercharger nearby with a Magic Dock. So I set it on my nav to begin preconditioning and headed that way.
The biggest PITA was setting up payment. It showed that ApplePay was setup but it wouldn’t take it so I had to manually enter in my card info. After that, everything go easy. I just entered the charging unit number, unplugged the cable and adapter from the magic dock and plugged it into my truck.
I went from 19 to 50% SoC in 17 minutes. No technical issues at all. At it’s best, the charger was putting out 212kW of power. The price was a whopping $0.43 per kWH. Very pricey compared to charging at home but I was impressed with the speed.
All in all, I want more Tesla Supercharger access YESTERDAY. I’m tired of Electrify America’s horse crap.
