Today I drove 553 miles from Connecticut to Durham, North Carolina. I stopped at 4 Electrify America chargers (Wawa Store - New Castle, Delaware), (Simon Arundel Mills - Hanover, Maryland), (Walmart - Stafford, Virginia), (Walmart - Henderson, North Carolina). I have had pretty good luck at EA chargers - never stranded, but sometimes in the past a call to EA was required to connect or I had to move over to a different charger.
HOWEVER, today's experience might be a good sign that EA is getting its act together. I have used the Delaware, Maryland, and North Carolina chargers on previous road trips. The Stafford, Virginia was a new stop for me. Wow, the Stafford chargers (Signet) looked new, they had cords that were long and the bump stops were low enough to avoid the front splitter (see pic). I hit 254kw. That wasn't even the fastest on this trip. At Henderson, I hit 256 kW. And the kicker was that ALL four 350 kW chargers connected on the first try with the Charging NA app without the need to call EA or to move to another charger.
