Baker and Barstow EA charger can’t stand the heat

[RivianXpress]

I’ll do a full write up next week but suffice it to say that the Barstow EA chargers were limited to 35kW today and I couldn’t get any of the Baker chargers to work for more than 10 min. After getting that 10 min charge it shut me off and I tried 5 other chargers that only let me charge for 2 min each.
Everyone was having similar issues.

Maybe it had to do with the fact it was 115 today??

Did the EVgo ones in Baker work?

I didn’t check. Where are those located?

After sitting for 30 min in that heat the adaptive cruise wouldn’t turn on for the next 10 min.

Did it at least failover to non-adaptive cruise or you literally had nothing available?

That must be a design flaw in the EA hardware. I’ve used the Indio Superchargers for my Tesla many times in the 115 to 120 degree range. Fans on my car and coming from the Supercharger hardware are working over time but no issue charging.

Same problem here at Walmart in Henderson. Free charging but and I’m at 11% but charge speed is limited to 34kW - 60 miles per hour

Was it the DC Fast charger having problems or the truck do you think?

Fast chargers - Talked to EA and the most recent session was free (at Walmart) because they are having issues.

Yet another EA problem here in Mojave. Charger limited to 36kW because of heat. This is the only charger working out of the four here.

EVGO Signet charger here in Michigan was throttling due to heat. Mid 90's outside. Dropped down to 200A from 495A
