I went to my nearest EA charging station with my car at 53% SOC this afternoon in Cocoa FL. Unlike my previous visit all four charging positions were operable so I connected to the 350 KW position and went shopping. When the car was connected screen stated the charging was free due to an EA equipment upgrade. Charge on. Was this to make amends for the Labor Day I-95 corridor shut down fiasco?

The charging screen displays the wrong charge start time but the car knows the correct local time.

Not sure about the "equipment upgrade" part of it but EA charging is supposed to be free for all Taycan owners during the first 36 months.

This is unrelated. I noticed last weekend that at least for the two EA chargers I used in Florida and Georgia, charging was free for everyone regardless of the brand or model of vehicle. You also dont need an app or card to initiate charging, just plug in and it starts. I don't know how wide this promotion extends or how long it will last.

I noticed that the EA charger displays the cost of charging for every visit, but we are of course not actually charged as Taycan owners, unless you go past the 30 mins. :clap:
