I’m currently charging at an Electrify America location that only has two working stations, a 350kw and a 150kw. A woman in a Chevy Bolt EV is plugged in at the 350kw, even though her car tops out at 55kw. Now I’m stuck at the 150kw even though my vehicle can take advantage of the 350kw charger. I’m going to guess she doesn’t know about the different charging speeds, as many new EV owners don’t. As EV owners, how can we spread awareness of charging speeds and etiquette?
I just chatter with them and show them the difference. We have a great time trading information about our cars and learning about them.
I always let them know that 350 doesn’t do shit for them, but it means the world to me if it is available. They just don’t know. They don’t want to be rude. They just don’t know.
