This weekend Electrify America opened their charging site in Dateland Arizona, which completes the southern US route from Jacksonville, FL to San Diego, CA.

I have been pretty active in making suggestions to them, and they have recently invited me to an upcoming webinar. I will write up my findings from that after attending it. They are now taking input for Cycle 3, which starts at the end of 2021.

I wish they'd put some chargers near Death Valley, 395 and Ridgecrest. There's a huge void there.

There is a 50KW charger at Inyokern Airport near there:

Yeah, 50kW doesn't really cut it out there in the middle of nowhere. Tesla has Superchargers at Inyokern ... sigh.

If Electrify America (EA) can get chargers in Billings, Mt; Kalispell, MT; Miles City, MT; Havre, MT; Bozeman, MT; Dickinson, ND; Bismarck, ND; and Fargo, ND - the northern U.S routes are covered with the added bonus of being able to take HWY 2 (a great route). Pretty sure all those towns have a Walmart lot they can put them in as EA tends to like to do.

There is nothing CCS wise on I-20 between Dallas TX and Birmingham AL which exceeds any EV range

During the EA webinar this monring they indicated a lot of requests for the route between Butte and Minneapolis, so they are considering wither I-90 or I-94 in Cycle 3 (2022-2024 timeframe).
