"The industry is evolving fast, and its many stakeholders are coming together to solve issues. Charging operator #EVgo said its “one and done” charger success rate had risen to 95% in its presentation of third quarter results."

#EVgo closes a $1.25B federal #loan to build 7,500 #EV DC fast chargers
With the #DOE loan’s backing, this buildout will bring EVgo’s total owned and operated network to at least 10,000 fast-charging stalls, allowing the company to more than triple its network footprint by 2029. It currently has more than 1,000 fast charging stations across 40 states. The loan requires the deployment period to be five years, starting in 2025.

Total rubbish, this post and your "magazine"!
The future is not EV's for everyone. The future is degrowth with cycle and pedestrian movement within communities, free green public transport around larger communities and cities and rail between them. At best EV taxis may could play a part.

I have a Level 2 charger my #ID4Pro #EV at home. I also have a #ChargePoint #EVGo & an #ElectrifyAmerica account.
However, I believe in #BeingPreprared. So, I bought a #J1772 to #NACS #Tesla adapter but I'd only use a Tesla #Supercharger (or destination charger) as a last resort (because I have issues with #Musk ) & haven't even downloaded the Tesla charging app yet, so I can't even use a Tesla charger yet but . . .
Here's an interesting article to those who are interested in #EVs published by #ConsumerReports about their experience charging certain non-Tesla EVs at #Tesla #Superchargers with a J1772 to NACS (Tesla) adapter or with Tesla's #MagicDock . . .

This is really weird - this EVgo charging station is
- fully occupied (all CCS ports) according to EVgo app
- 2 CCS ports available according to PlugShare app……
Who should I trust??? It’s hard to believe it’s all in use in the middle of night in a very rural / suburban town.
Well I tried to use my #A2Z adapter here in Santa Rosa and again, red ring of death. Trust me, I've crammed that plug in, it clicks, I lock the switch, it just doesn't work. I think it is bad.....
Luckily there is an #EVgo station in the same parking lot.
I can't wait to get my genuine Ford adapter, never heard of a dumb issue like this with that adapter.

Final #ElectronBump of the day, need juice to get the husband tomorrow. I e never charged at an #EVGo before. It's giving me all the juice! #EV #RoadTrip

I closed out November with a flurry of published stories, some filed weeks ago. I like finishing strong in November, since that’s the last month that freelancers can reasonably expect to write something and get paid for it that year.
One of the posts published in the closing hours of last month but not listed below was an extra for Patreon readers: a Web Summit recap covering things that didn’t show up in stories for my other clients.

I got advance copies of Google’s blog posts about RCS topping a billion users and the software feature drops the company staged to celebrate the occasion, then made sure to remind readers of Google’s most recent announcement of the total number of Android devices–more than 3 billion, announced in 2022, which suggests that most Android users have yet to benefit from this upgrade to SMS and MMS.

One thing that I am learning - gas stations typically have roofs. EV charging stations typically do not. Using fast chargers in the rain is not a pleasant experience. #EV #EVChargers #ElectrifyAmerica #EVCS #EVGo #ElectricVehicles #DCFastCharge #Shocking
Weird. I had to disconnect the negative terminal on my 12V car battery in my #BoltEUV to get it to stay connected to the DC Fast Charger at an #EVGo charging station. This is the second location I've driven to this morning. Good thing I don't have anywhere to be.
According to the forum I found the tip on it resets something in the charge system. I don't understand it, but I'm grateful that it's charging. I have somewhere to be early tomorrow morning.
An #EV charger in #Annapolis, #Maryland. Doesn’t #EVgo know that #WindowsXP Embedded left support in 2019? And this is only a Level 2 charger that doesn’t need more smarts than “car is plugged in, begin charging said car.”
It's great that #ChargePoint is trying to increase site reliability, but in my experience they are nowhere near the biggest problem compared to #ElectrifyAmerica and #EvGO (to a lesser degree). That seems to align with the regular reports from #RateYourCharge as well. I find ChargePoint units are usually up and producing full power, though they tend to be lower powered than other #DCFC chargers.
@benlovell @veerrrsix @quixote My sister would like to tow with an #EV & that is a bit complicated because chargers are not typically set up for a towing rig. A lot are in normal parking lots & you pull into a regular parking space. I’ve never seen a Tesla charger that wasn’t like that. I like EVgo chargers & older ones are set up similar to gas pumps where you just pull up alongside. But newer #EVgo chargers are in Walmart parking lots. Maybe truck stops?
