Planning a long road trip on interstate highway. Concerned that one EA charging location along the route is described as all four stations "under repair". MyPorsche app shows a different EA location with 1 of its 4 stations "out of service" for 16 days.
Looked at how many EA locations are along the route in case I cannot get a charge at one.
EA sites along 700+ mile route: 9.
Most of the route is rural, so not a bunch of accessible L2 chargers nearby.
For grins I looked up Tesla supercharger locations on the same route.

A location with only 4 charging stations provides a low margin of safety.Most of the route is rural, so not a bunch of accessible L2 chargers nearby.
Without being able to depend on getting a charge at any particular EA station, instead of arriving with a low SOC and benefitting from the Taycan's famed high rate of charge, I have to make extra charging stops, at higher SOCs, just in case.For grins I looked up Tesla supercharger locations on the same route.

That Tesla outfit knows how to support its road-tripping customers.Sponsored
