Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
got some attention from automotive blogs and news sites. In the post, there’s a picture of a sign a fed up EV driver left on the station, trying to help people get a smoother charging experience .The issue is one many of us have encountered. Not all EV charging stations can deliver the same charging speeds, and not all cars charge at the same speed either. In many cases, charging stalls at the same station can have different speeds.
But, that’s not always possible. Sometimes, I’ll show up at a charging station and find that the slower stations are all full, or even not working. So, my only choice is to use a faster stall. There have even been times that fast cars are occupying the slow stalls, so I’m forced to use the fast ones, leaving everyone on the wrong stall.
What makes this problem worse is that many cars just don’t have great trip planning software. When in doubt on what they’ll need to get to the next station, some drivers charge more than needed just to be sure they’ll make it, and they don’t know that using a third-party app could be a good idea. But, sometimes they really do need to go to 100%, and there’s no way to know without asking .
Another downside to taking it on yourself to “educate” people with signs like this is that it makes EV drivers look bad. In the comments section of general automotive news websites, I saw things like “Good! The libs are eating each other!” and plenty of comments saying we’re all rich snobs. The name Karen also came up quite a bit. LOLOne thing you almost never see at a Tesla Supercharger station are different charging speeds.
