Hi Dave etc,
I read that on Inside EVs & here's a similar & more current data today from US News & World Report: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Tesla has over 1,600 Supercharger stations in the U.S., with over 17,000 fast-charging ports. Electrify America is next in line, with about 800 stations and 3,600 fast-charging ports. I'm only looking at the *fast chargers* that run on 480VAC-3 phase industrial feed to drive across the country, not the *iffy* level-2 charging stations on Plugshare.com for overnight charging. I've driven (with my 21' Tesla-Y) up and down the least coast to the Florida Keys, along the beaches and around the midwest for 92K miles. When trying similar trips in the Bolt on 1/4 the Electrify America charging stations (especially south), the results have been less than stellar. After some bad experiences we *only* drive the Tesla now on long trips. Also use in to towing the solar equipment (5x8' Lowes Trailer) to our volunteer solar jobs & pulling my ski boat to various lakes from PA to NC (at half range 160mi instead of 320). I would never attempt to take the Leaf on a long trip. Until I hear some real data about Electrify America (or similar) at least matching Tesla, I won't take the Bolt (or any non-Tesla vehicle) on a long trip. Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.

Electrek says 183,000 points across the US as of 5/24, so I guess those are stations. Isn't your Bolt, if not your Chademo-orphaned Leaf, supposed to be able to use those superchargers with CSS adapters soon, maybe already? Or am I wrong about that? I haven't been following US charging that closely Here in France, we're at 127,000+ charging points on about 5.6% of the US's land area. Only about 18% of those are fast DC, but that's most of what's being built now. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
