Comment on Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too

  My favorite are the chargers at buc-ees. Get to buy some beef jerky and a bbq sandwich while charging.

  Sheets hasn’t Tesla has been installing them at places like Sheetz.

  Anyway, it looks like the NACS is winning the standards war, so everyone will benefit from their early investment.

    Not just Tesla and not just NACS. Other charging networks using CCS are going into Sheetz as well. I know I always stop at two Electrify America Sheetz locations on the PA turnpike whenever I drive it.

      While I’m sure Electrify America is doing the same thing as Tesla (installing electric “gas stations” at regular gas stations, because it’s an obvious place to put them), I’ve only seen one ccs charger in my life.

      I’ve never actually seen anyone use it, and it’s frequently got tape around it.

      I take that tape as “it’s broken” but I don’t care to check on it.

        A Tesla driver probably wouldn’t have any great need to see a CCS charger, just like a non-Tesla diver has little reason to go to a Tesla supercharger. They’re around, though. EA seems to like putting chargers in Sheetz and Walmart. Chargepoint is less predictable as to where you’ll find them. They do seen broken more often than they should be (usually seems to be a computer/software issue), though, I’ll give you that.

    It probably just depends on the location then cause I charged my ev6 at 2 different Sheetz on a trip I had a couple weeks ago.
