Hi Folks,
It looks like there's an "opportunity" for the techs/engineers on this list to help fix the Electrify America fast charging CCS/CHAdeMO stations. I remember what my HV Power Electronics manager would say when folks would whine about something that should be changed: "sounds like an opportunity". If you're comfortable with working around HV 480VAC 3 phase & Lock-Out-Tag-Out procedures, there should be enough folks scattered around the country on this list and friends to tackle the problem. On Electrify America's jobs site: https://vwgoa.taleo.net/careersection/ea_careers/jobsearch.ftl?lang=en it looks like most jobs are for new installations, not focusing on repairs/maintenance however. Does anyone have a contact there to talk to about company focus? Since I have 3 EV's (Tesla-Y, Bolt, Leaf), I'd take my Tesla on trips since the charging infrastructure is *so* much better. If I was a field service tech for EA, I wonder if driving up in a Tesla would go over like a "fart in church" , better traveling cross country with a 200KW 15 minute charge rate vs the Bolt 50KW 1 hour charge rate with iffy Electrify America fast chargers, more so in the south Georgia-Florida than in northern pre-EV states like Va, Md, PA, NJ (been my experience). The Leaf is a local short distance vehicle but wouldn't buy a plus since only 1 CHAdeMO per 5 CCS stations, would have to wait on that one charger. Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.
