Yes, I have used EC in Hope, except there was a line up on Sunday!

My sessions started OK, but stopped after a few minutes. Bad system if the user has to hold up the cord to get it to work!The only trick I am aware of when the PC charger fails, is to really hold up the plug and cable to make sure there is a tight connection during initialization, once it starts charging you can let go. This worked for me in Golden. If the charger says time-out, the trick doesn’t seem to work. So far only Charger 1 in Langley has this timeout issue. I used many other PC chargers in BC and Alberta now.
Only used PC EV charging stations twice in Quebec outside of Montreal and it worked fine, around 100-150kw as I recall. I have yet to try EC stations to see how it performs....I had problems at the Petro Canada chargers in Hope on Sunday. The session would start, then abruptly stop after a few minutes. Both chargers did the same thing. Also had that issue in Golden BC a few days prior. Any other Canadians watching this thread have issues with Petro Canada?
The last two sessions I have had at PC in Ontario have resulted in fails. The charger initialized then stops.My sessions started OK, but stopped after a few minutes. Bad system if the user has to hold up the cord to get it to work!
