Here's what happens when you have a sizable trip the next day and the charging infrastructure fails you completely
can only charge at 170 kW anyway. What we did need though was something reasonably fast and reasonably close.
That’s because these sites and apps don’t always provide reliably accurate information about the charging site. We only found that out by going to a second site that was supposed to supply 50 kW only to find that it actually had a maximum speed of 7 kW. Now we had just over ten miles of range and it was nearly 10 p.m. A little over half an hour later we had about 20 miles of range.
We used a physical chip card, we tried tapping, and we even downloaded the app to two different phones in hopes that it would work. None of it mattered. The car was back down to less than 13 miles of range again. The panic was beginning to set in.Another charger, this time with a maximum rate of just 50 kW, was about 3 miles away and seemed to have decent reviews on Google Maps. It was relatively close to two others with lesser reviews too just in case we had to bail and try a fifth.
EVGO charging stations also have a 60-minute time limit which means that in an hour we could only charge to about 45 percent. Technically, that’s enough to get us to Denver just barely. I do not trust $91,000 SUV care to a technicality though so at the end of an hour, I had to unplug the Audi, plug it back in, and restart the charging situation.
