I charged last night for free on my trip home from my Brother's [email protected] mi/min. 20 minutes of checking emails and this site and I was on my way!

I thought that all Taycan owners get free EA charging anyway... (???)
Included 3 Years of 30 Minute DC Charging Sessions at Electrify America Stations - From my configuration.

I read somewhere that this also includes 3 years of up to 1 hour of AC charging but couldn't find the reference.

The first 30 minutes of a session are free for the first 3 years of ownership. If your session would last longer than 30 minutes, you do pay for the extra time/charge, I believe (as I never exceeded 30 minutes yet and use DC charging rarely anyway).

I've never seen an AC EA charger

Supposedly: Some select Electrify America charging stations will have L2 chargers in addition to DC fast chargers. I have no idea how common they are, or will be. By the time my car is actually delivered, they may be all over the place :CWL:

Well, I’ve never seen a DC one. But I’m not sure why what either you or I have seen would be relevant though.

FYI, can filter for L2 chargers on the EA website if you want to see where they are.

From the EA web-site. I'll be a lot more interested once my car gets here and I start traveling.

Yeah, there’s a map too so you can see the actual locations. That’s what I used.

I discovered this on Friday and realized almost all the EA stations that were “offline” on Tuesday were due to payment system issues, because they were all working when free!

:rolleyes:

90% of my driving is in FLA, I looked at their map, in the entire state of FLA there are 3 L2 chargers and those units are 350+ miles from where I am. I have still never seen an L2 EA charger any place other than their map of locations.
Why would you choose an L2 charger over an L3?
do you realize that L3 chargers are DC chargers? or are you just being obtuse?

And none of that is relevant or helpful to @gnop1950 ’s comment regarding EA L2 charging…


Why would you choose an L2 charger over an L3?
Lol, I wouldn’t use either on the road. I take an ICE vehicle for traveling.
L2 at home though.
do you realize that L3 chargers are DC chargers?
Yes sir, sure do.
or are you just being obtuse?
I’m just pointing out that it’s fairly easy to look up whether or not EA has L2 stations. My 7yo could probably do it. I can have him show you later if you need me to.

And you having never seen an AC station says about as much as me having never seen a DC station. Which is basically nothing. You made an irrelevant, useless comment, and I was just trying to be nice and point it out. That’s all.

It’s in the information on the configurator.

FWIW, an EA station at a Walmart about 30 minutes from me has 4 DC L3 chargers and one L2 AC charger. It was one of the first EA stations that came online so I think these AC chargers are only at the very old stations. I was there on Black Friday. Big mistake. Place was packed and all of the DC stalls were taken (including frustratingly by people trickle charging past 85%). I didn’t really want to wait (and didn’t really need a charge anyway) so I plugged into the AC charger. It is only 7kW so not really worth it for a one hour shopping trip but can still add about 18-20 miles of range if you are in a pinch.
