We’ve been watching the expansion of Electrify America since it began in 2018. While the stations often show up at Walmart stores, in many smaller towns that don’t have a Walmart, the company had to partner with somebody else like a restaurant, hotel, or other business. Sometimes the business is a great place for people […]

In Twitter posts, at least three EV owners say that their vehicle was damaged at an Electrify America station. These claims come from three different vehicle brands (Rivian, Chevrolet, and Ford), and appear to have happened at different stations.

In some recent videos, Out of Spec tested Electrify America stations in the recent cold weather. What they found was that some local stations didn’t work in zero degree (F) temperatures. It’s worth noting that at the same location, the older station design (with the lone CHAdeMO plug) still worked, so it’s not a site […]

On a recent road trip, I stopped in San Antonio for some juice. The Electrify America station I stopped at had recently been down for some upgrades, and it now has the company’s newest station design up and running.

There’s something that’s really starting to drive me insane on Plugshare. For those not in the know, Plugshare is a place where people used to share the location of EV chargers they were willing to share with other EV drivers.

This work supports the current plan to invest $200 million in California ZEV infrastructure and education programs in the state until mid-2024 and is a […]
