Overall, Electrify America plans to still spend $92 million on new stations.
For most people who have actually used the company’s chargers, it’s a mix of blessing and curse. Electrify America vastly improved the charging situation for non-Tesla EVs, but then the machines started having more and more problems as they aged. Today, it’s common to come across slow stations, stations that won’t start a charge on the first try, and lines at some of the more popular ones . Coming across a station that’s completely down, and getting stranded from it, is still pretty rare.
Worse, many people don’t know much about EVs, so telling people that only Teslas are any good leaves many people still thinking there’s something bad about EVs if only one company could get it right. So, they’ll play on the safe side and stick with ICE for now. And the people who hate all EVs? You’re giving them ammo to use against your beloved brand, guys.
One thing the company isn’t saying, but that seems fairly obvious to me, is that these older stations are not proving easy to repair. In theory, the company could force the manufacturers to provide replacement parts, but something is keeping that from happening. Some rumors I’ve heard are that the companies are just too small to keep up with the demand for parts, or that the parts are of such low quality that it would be impossible for anybody to keep up.
But, this is a lot easier said than done. Even when all of the equipment is ready to send to a site, it’s important to keep in mind that many people rely on the site. In areas with other charging stations, it’s not a huge deal, but in areas where the site is the only rapid charging station within 50+ miles, people’s road trip plans can get messed up.
