I would like to see EV Charging appear on highway exit info signs along with gas, restaurants, etc. Along with informing EV drivers it would also inform those considering making the switch from gas to electric.

That's great. Now if you could fix the screens so badly hazed by the sun that they are unreasonable. A roof over the chargers for shade and inclement weather would also be appreciated.

I recently perused the social media accounts of Electrify America~ I think Electrify America is never racist at all (and I love that because I’m never racist at all either)!

Has there been discussion with Electrify America to partner with 711 stores, CVS or Walgreen locations etc to increase the amount of stations. There is only 1 station in Orlando, FL and it is constantly busy and currently 2 of the 7 installs are not working.. The app is not easy to use, find locations and does not provide accurate information on availability. Another issue is EA has not built wait spots while others are charging. The honor system is amazingly impressive as owners wait for the available install. i appreciate EA as the trend setter but demand is building and it would be disappointing if momentum stopped because we don't have the infrastructure

The sun shining directly on the screens makes it impossible to read them. The 45 second time out is kind of counterintuitive to the"Plug In First" instruction. And Finally, chargers being out of commission for months is not helping EV adoption.

My question, is when are we going to see a plug and charge exchange that is a little like Tesla? Or is it too difficult to make a handshake that can handle car identification, tied to a payment wallet?

Electrify America and their EV charging methods are awesome!

The RFID on one station did not work so had to use a credit card. Called customer services and gave up after being on hold for 30 minutes! Also did not get a receipt via text message. If gas stations were this complicated the entire world would stop working.

Need to have charger numbers in large fonts like gas station.

Can Teslas Charge At Electrify America

Please talk with Buc--ee's, World's largest Gas Station, about installing EV Charging Stations at all their insanely popular locations!!!

It would be interesting if we could download the App and configure it from outside the USA, so that when we are on vacation in the USA we can use it when renting a car. From Europe it is impossible to install the App on iPhone.

I don't use my Canadian data in USA . Is it possible to charge my EV without my cell phone?

[roxannemaiers]

Does it allow for a Jeep 4xe to be charged? I tried to go to a charging station but did not see a plug to support my vehicle

[rgold]

These things are an absolute nightmare. Everytime I use one it’s a shitshow to the point I’m just going to see if I can get out of this car it’s such a miserable experience.

[Lynyrd_Evnyrd]

Are you guys going to be going after those Infrastructure Bill funds? I’d like to see some more rural build out (West Virginia, the Dakotas and the south are currently only drivable in Teslas via the supercharger network).

I have a 2022 LiveWire One motorcycle. I cannot initiate charge without contacting EA customer service. Is this an EA problem or a LiveWire problem or both?

[techdepot]

I’m on my 11th location and none of them are working tried calling customer service and that’s a joke

[teamariainc]

Dear EA, the 2 charging stations near me always have at least 2 chargers not working? Why does it take so long to fix a broken charger? When I go to charge I am always waiting about 45 mins. Sometimes at 10 and 11 @ night.The demand is growing doesn’t look like your infrastructure is keeping up??
