'Electrify America is a subsidiary of VW'
% Opinion: on VW's e-america our-plan page (link below), sez: ... -After a methodical and data driven analysis taking nearly six months, Electrify America selected seventeen metro areas including Boston, Chicago, Denver, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, Raleigh, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. -Community-based charging station sites will be built in workplaces, retail (shopping centers, restaurants, etc.), multifamily residential locations and municipal lots and garages, as well as high-speed community depots that will feature fast EV charging at speeds of up 150kW compared with today’s peak of 50kW. -Highway sites will be located along high-traffic corridors between metropolitan areas, including two cross-country routes, and will include between four and ten 150kW and 350kW individual DC fast chargers at each location before June 2019. -These sites will be located no more than ~120 miles apart and on average just 70 miles apart. Many shorter range EVs will benefit from 50kW DC fast charging on the Electrify America highway network, including any CHAdeMO equipped vehicles ... But look at how many public CHAdeMO& ccs L3 EVSE plugshare shows are already within 120miles of those cities (plugshare filter set to only those L3 types excluding Tesla): 025 Houston, TX 027 Fresno, CA 028 Miami, FL 034 Raleigh, NC 037 Chicago, IL 055 Denver, CO 061 Seattle, WA 065 Sacramento, CA 080 Portland, OR 130 New York City, NY 133 Boston, MA 142 Washington, D.C. 165 Philadelphia, PA 233 San Diego, CA 240 San Francisco, CA 240 San Jose, CA 281 Los Angeles, CA IMO, clearly cities that have more than 60 L3 EVSE within 120mi really should not be on their list. These numbers only roughly show what areas need more L3 EVSE and what areas definitely do not need any more L3 EVSE. If you actually look at these cities, you will see they have too many L3, too close together, and not always in a contiguous chain so a driver can L3 charge from point A to B (get to where they want to go). Once again, the people in charge of the money have no clue what they are doing, and more L3 will be installed where it is not needed, rather than where it should be. sidebar Using plugshare to peek& poke shows me that my past complaints of not having L3 charging from Sacramento to the OR boarder have now been resolved (some were put in along Hwy I-5). Now, the CA coastline Hwy 101 from Santa Rosa, and the Sierra-NV Mt. Hwy 395 could use L3 EVSE to use VW-fine-$ more effectively. Texas cities need a contiguous chain of L3 EVSE to be able to drive a r:75mi Leaf from Houston to San Antonio, and continue north from Austin/Georgetown to Dallas/Waco. / There are many cities, that seriously need contiguous L3 EVSE. Too bad VW is in charge of wasting their own penalty/fine money (Watt is wrong with this picture?). % http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/volkswagen-electrify-america-walmart-charging-stations-article-1.3943042 Volkswagen, Walmart partner to bring EV charging to more than 100 Walmart stores in 34 states 19 Apr 2018 Walmart shoppers across the country will soon have easier access to fast electric vehicle charging while they shop.
