@@brandenflasch I sure thought so, yet in No. VA and driving south on I95, I seldom see any sites with ADA stalls. And then we have the issue of lack of firm approved EV charging space requirements/specs. Apparently the Access board doc on this subject is only "guidance". I know of one near by EVgo site that has what appears be 2 ADA size spaces they have far too much slope and the bollards around the dispenser would inhibit wheelchair access.

Texas is miserable for EV owners who actually want to venture away from big cities and interstates. Check out how pathetic it is if you want to venture west to areas around Brownwood, Brady, Llano, and other communities. So Texas raised registration fees by $200 for EVs to help pay for state roads but they aren’t investing money on infrastructure so the EVs can actually charge and travel those roads.

Needed an adapter for a road trip and could not wait longer for Ford. Bought Lectron and it has worked flawlessly. What an improvement in charge experience over CCS. Wow! So happy Tesla opened up to "us" and that Ford was smart enough to be an early adopter.

When did the Magic Docks on the version 3's go live - I was there in July and I don't remember there being magic docks there ( I might have missed them) and don't remember them showing on the TESLA super charger website. I thought the closest magic docks were up near Dallas fort worth at the time. I was driving a rented F-150 Lighting at the time - I am now one month into ownership of a used 2021 Model Y back in Maryland!!!!

Brandon, well you probably should’ve mentioned that the Mercedes chargers would certainly be delivering more power on an 800 V car like the Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air m, Hummer EV or any EGMP Kia, Hyundai or Genius vehicle. Probably worth the four cents a kilowatt hour as long as they do deliver the speeds they claim .

Did I see $1.78 for regular unleaded? That’s crazy cheap, $4.59 here in California and I drive an id4 because of that. If gas was $1.78 I’d be hard pressed to buy an EV if it’s 50 ish cents a kWh since it would cost as much or more to drive an EV there. Trying not to be a hater since I love my EV.

The US needs more large sites with convenience stores in the same area. They also need to future proof and put in some higher capacity chargers. It would have been nice if Tesla had moved forward with the battery swapping stations, as another way to get a charged battery on long road trips.

Assuming one is charging to 80% from 10%, at 70 MPH you would need to charge 4.86 times; and at 80 MPH you would need to charge 6.01 times. What is the charging duration from 10% to 80%? What is the charging time for 0.86 of the 10% to 80%? Remember to take into effect the charge curve for the 0.86 of the charge (it would not be including the slower charging at the last 0.14 of the charging). Thanks for providing the data!
