Some EV Drivers Found A Fix For A Common Charging Problem, But Electrify America Doesn’t Like It
Recently, I came across a post on Facebook where some LEAF drivers were trying to do the same thing as diesel drivers. Their solution? Put a sticker on the lone CHAdeMO stall at Electrify America stations asking CCS drivers to use another stall when possible.
“Electrify America does not condone the stickers,” a company representative said. “Charger use is on a first-come, first-served basis. Any placement of unauthorized stickers or other material is considered vandalism since we will have to have them removed and repair any damage.” But I know this wouldn’t be true if I was trying to road trip in an CHAdeMO car . While a CCS station or two being down wouldn’t strand me in my Bolt, having the only CHAdeMO station go down would strand someone driving a LEAF. They’d either have to spend hours at a Level 2 station or spend the night at a hotel with charging. In some towns, where there’s literally no place else to charge, they might have to sleep in their car at an RV park to make it to the next rapid charger.
It would also be a good idea to politely guide drivers to show more courtesy, and this is important for more than just the CHAdeMO stall. People who pull up to an EA station in a Bolt and charge in the 350 kW stalls cause a lot of trouble for people who have faster-charging cars, largely because they’re ignorant and don’t know they’re doing anything discourteous. The same is true for people who block the CHAdeMO plug when other stalls are empty.
This would be a minor inconvenience for some drivers who are accustomed to pulling up to any stall, but it would also be a great way to educate drivers and help them to be more courteous to others.
