The Cape Cod Mall is the ONLY place with DC Fast Chargers on all of Cape Cod. There are some free Level 2 chargers in and around Hyannis.

I'm very impressed with Volvo and Polestar EVs, but the coup d'tat that convinced me to buy a Tesla Model Y was the charging infrastructure. Especially where my wife's concerned. She was very skeptical about EVs and I knew if she saw me having trouble with CCS charging, she'd never want an EV. Well, after a year of watching me interact with Superchargers on road trips, she said she wanted a Model Y too. ..... The Supercharger infrastructure was not the only reason I bought a Tesla, but it was one of the big reasons.

[@EVAwesome-yj2um]

Can't argue with that reasoning at all. Tesla opening up their network and pretty much all car makers going to NACS will change the game for EV charging over the next couple of years. I really like the Polestar 4, but I won't trade up until the 2025 model year when the NACS port is standard.

[@777Outrigger]

@@EVAwesome-yj2um That's the way I feel. I'll never buy an EV without a NACS charging port. Those CCS to NACS adaptors are big and cumbersome, and so will the NACS to CCS be too. That's a non-starter for my wife.

Nice Spec on your Polestar2.Midnight with Nappa seats looks nice.I had a snow with same spec.Currently got a 22 thunder,Performance.Pilot lite.I would say the charging infrastructure are 5-7 years behind Norway.My first EV was a VW Egolf 2016.

[@EVAwesome-yj2um]

Norway is the model. I wish that NEVI money was actually being spent on putting more DCFC in the ground here at home.

[@kcsherman8]

VW is offering full charging for free from EA with a lease/sale. That’s the reason they’re clogging up the EA stations.

[@Gweeper64]

I read that the Mass NEVI plan wasn't even approved?

[@Gweeper64]

All those ID.4s are waiting for their free charging

[@kevinlloyd1088]

Can you use Tesla charge points? P Town has that and level 2 at $1.50 per hour. If you are a tourist, you have the time. Not every point needs to offer DC charging.
