You'd have to be a real EV enthusiast to drive hundreds of miles by charging at CHAdeMO/CCS stations along the way. Or a masochist. Or both.
With one charging station 'choke points' is it really as they have advertised? It's a start and I applaud them for it. Imagine that one person blocks the east west corridor by going shopping for the day, all traffic stops and there is a HUGE line waiting to charge.
And.... 20 minutes to charge to 80% is just false advertising.
However the Chevrolet Spark EV can charge to 80% in 20 minutes easily on a CCS/Chademo charger. I think there are other cars that can as well.
Where were you able to look up their power rating?2. The fast charger can only output a maximum of 24kW
You can usually figure it out by looking at the detail for each station location.Where were you able to look up their power rating?
PlugShare disappoints me because it doesn't appear to have this info which I would like for trip planning.
I think the new CEC grants are for a minimum of 2 CHAdeMO stations -- one CHAdeMO only and one dual protocol station with both CCS and CHAdeMO. I thought both stations are 50 kW also. No? Also, a third pre-wired pad is included for a future 100 kW dual plug station.Good thing the CEC is also installing a charging network. It looks like they are designing for success, but still not able to get the funds for even two 50 kW chargers per location. Two is really the absolute minimum for a network node to be able to handle even minimum traffic without blocking.

I think the only good thing is that these stations can be backup to the more robust infrastructure funded by the California Energy Commission this year. Those installations will require a minimum of a 50kW station, a L2 AC station and electrical capacity and conduits for an additional 150kW station.
I love how the West coast corridor stops at Portland.
Obviously it is because CA and OR are ZEV states while WA is not, so they don't care about WA sales. But you would think they would realize that more Portland buyers will care about getting to Seattle than SF...
