Just got back from a recent 2000 mile road trip from the SF Bay area to Las Vegas then to Tucson and then returning the same way.
Temperatures were hot mostly from 85 to 117 degrees.
Note: I was able to slow charge in Vegas at a friends house so I topped off before I left Vegas for Tucson and before I left Vegas for the SF bay area.
I had a total of 19 Charging sessions on the EA network and eight of them worked as expected - the others either timed out/didn't work or were very slow (36kW).
NOTE: I was on the previous SW version until the Tucson session.
Green - no issues
Orange - Slow charging
Red - Unable to charge more than 15 min
When the stations worked they worked great. However I had more than my share of issues. EA support was great but after more than 1/2 dozen calls to them it got a bit tiring.
I'll post the data below but in here is where I had issues:
Session # 2
-Barstow, CA Charging speed slowed to 36kW at all stations. Could be temperature related.
Session # 3-8
-Baker, CA First session started fine then kicked me off. Others sessions would not start on different chargers.
Session # 9
- Henderson, NV Speed limited to 36kW (heat?) free possibly because of the slow speed - no data
Session # 12, 13
- Tucson, AZ - Charger would not start charging moved to another charger.
Session #17
Mojave, CA - This was the worst one. Only one of four chargers working. Two were locked behind a cyclone fence as they are adding a solar canopy. One charger DOA. Last charger worked but was extremely slow. Four others were there once I started charging. This is a remote location with nothing else around. I needed to have enough charge to back of Tehachapi so I didn't have any options rolling in with 52 miles of range. Finally gave up when I figured I had enough charge to make to the chargers in Bakersfield, CA.
