I just pulled into a EA location to find all three DCFC dispensers full.
Interestingly one of the cars charging was a Subaru Solterra with 62% SOC. It was charging at a whopping nineteen (19!!) kW. The driver said he was going to 80% SOC which the dispenser estimated would take 80 minutes. Imagine if he was going to 100%.
If RAN someday opens up to non-Rivian vehicles I hope they enforce minimum charging speeds that boot slow chargers (accounting for SOC) if the location gets full (or if they occupy the only trailer dispenser).
Otherwise escaped compliance cars (like the Solterra and Bz4x) will be clogging up dispensers.
