I use to have a monthly pass when it was cheaper to charge with them. Now I wonder why I purchased the Tesla adapter - I only used it a half dozen times.Pass+ is the discounted rate with membership
I used my CCS adapter for a roadtrip to Glacier National Park and it was well worth the cost to be able to get there and return. It also happened to be that EA was cheaper than superchargers. Worth it just for that trip.I use to have a monthly pass when it was cheaper to charge with them. Now I wonder why I purchased the Tesla adapter - I only used it a half dozen times.
Bluedot (thread at Blue Dot app claims 20% discount on Supercharging) is 30 cents per kWh on EVgo and ChargePoint ONLY. The sessions MUST be started from the Bluedot app.Well, you’re not kidding the prices of Electrify America are just skyrocketing!
Now I wonder why I purchased the Tesla adapter
Ya, good insurance...I bought one for insurance and because Supercharging locations are hit and miss in NM (particularly the SE) and Colorado. If I never use it I don't mind. And if it saves me from even one towing episode or being stuck for hours on L2 -- brilliant
So EA is only about 3x the cost. This isn't going to end well for EA.
What would Tesla even want it for? I guess they might want the lease/parking space agreements, but I doubt they'd have much use for the equipment.Years ago I predicted that once free of the court order, EA will fold and be picked up by Tesla for pennies on the dollar. The switch to NACS has just made this all but certain

The infrastructure doesn't work though.The locations are sub-par -- thus pennies on the dollar. But the infrastructure is in place
I doubt it. Most locations are only for 4 stalls, not big enough for Tesla where they install a minimum of 8 stalls in most locations. (Not to mention a lot of locations aren't ideal, though are still good for locals.)What would Tesla even want it for?

But probably inadequate infrastructure. If EA had 750kW service installed, I guess that would be enough for 8 V3 installs, but if you want it to meet NEVI requirements you would need a minimum of 1,200kW service for 8 stalls. (Not to mention you would have to negotiate for the extra parking spaces.)But the infrastructure is in place
The infrastructure is the utility feed and transformer, which I don't think have been the problem at EA sites. (However, the charging hardware is junk.)The infrastructure doesn't work though.
Walmart may not renew those leases anyway.Also, a lot of EA sites are at Wal*Mart, and Wal*Mart is working on creating their own charging network, so they might be happy that EA gives up their leases.
Yeah, but how long are they? 5, 7, 10 year? EA could be gone in the next 2 years, before it is time to renew them.Walmart may not renew those leases anyway.

You would still need a larger utility feed. 600kW for the 4 NEVI stalls and ~380kW fire the other 4. So, ~1000kW. Doesn't really help much.NEVI is 4+ x 150+. Supposed to for every port, but that's NEVI ports. So if Tesla only asks for subsidy for 4 ports, and pays for the rest of it, it's still compliant, right?
Give how poor they are, I'm happy to pay the high pay-per-use rate for the few times that I'll want to use them since I, too, will only use it for emergencies and when it is a lot more convenient than a Supercharger.I bought one for insurance and because Supercharging locations are hit and miss in NM (particularly the SE) and Colorado.

Most 8-stall V3 around my area are serviced by 750kva transformers.By no means an expert, I'm under the impression that even 4 stall EA locations have two 350 kW and two 150 kW, for a total of 1 MW power. I'm pretty sure Tesla can figure out a use for that power. Perhaps 72 kW destination chargers for people without L2 at home
