I had so much fun reading the recent Youtube Kyle thread that I thought I would throw more wood on the proverbial fire of a sensitive subject on this board - that is Electrify America. Plus, we have not had a good charging network conversation/arguement/screaming matching in like a month, so I figured I would start one up again since it is so fun.
I am not sure if every one looks at the "coming soon" section of the Electrify America website, but they have recently listed 70-80 new locations that will be built in some unknown future timeframe. The new chargers will close a few network gaps - like the I-25 gap between Albuquerque and Las Cruces and the I-20 gap in northern Louisiana and in Mississippi. If you plan on Montana next year, you will be in luck since there are a number of sites scheduled for installation in the state. For some reason Electrify America hates Texas. They have a few sites planned around San Antonio, but that is about it.
Anyway, it is nice to see that Electrify America has a road map for expanding the network. Hopefully, they also have a new and improved plan for increasing reliability and reducing the number of non-functioning chargers since we all know what they do now has a lot of room for improvement I know many on this board are eagerly awaiting the expansion of the CCS enabled Tesla network, but it is good to know that Electrify America is expanding its coverage and providing the driving public with more and more charging options.
Public service announcement time: we all know the EA network is not perfect, and has a lot of room for improvement. But, for some of us, the network works great. For example, I did a 9 day road trip last week from Denver to Phoenix and every location I used through Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona worked without an issue, nor did I have to wait to charge. At multiple sites I got initial +250kW speeds, so could not have been happier.
I thought I would share since I always like to see new chargers on the way, now
