Ea rant
The last 2 weeks Ive had to rely on more dc fast charging than normal. I live in SoCal. There are ea chargers all over the place.
I visited 6 fast chargers:
One site had 3 of 8 working and the 3 working would only do 50kwh
One site was totally offline
One site had the 7kwh only on line
Another site worked but max 70kwh or so
Another visit 2 days later to 3 of 8 site and more were working , all 350 offline, max 50kwh
One site (small one in seal beach ca) the 150 gave me 150 all the way to 80%
So, of 6 charging experiences, 1 was as expected, 3 charged at less than 50% promised charge rate (btw in all cases arrived at 20% state of charge with a conditioned battery), and 2 sites basically offline.
What the hell is going on with EA. In all seriousness the first 6mo of ownership ea was generally reliable. Now its a **** show. And yes i have home charging .

Good to post complaints here. Better if you complain directly to EA. Or your Senator
