Needed to make a quick charging stop in Eastham because I forgot to charge to 100% before leaving for Provincetown, and the extra drag from the bike rack made the efficiency worse. Obviously the bike design is not optimized for the aerodynamic when it's sideways 😜

I could charge near Ptown long enough so I can make it home, but 1) Ptown's DC charger is a Tesla supercharger, as much as I don't want give money to Musk, it is also not 800V output, meaning the Taycan only takes around 140-150kw, which is not so much different from the 120kw I can get from this ChargePoint. 2) as I don't drive much, I need to take advantage of the Electrify America free charging when I have the opportunity.

So a quick 9 mins charge from 11% to 22% and we got on the way to the Electrify America in Hyannis. Arrived with 13% SoC and got the free juice to 85%.

I have a Level 2 charger my #ID4Pro #EV at home. I also have a #ChargePoint #EVGo & an #ElectrifyAmerica account.

However, I believe in #BeingPreprared. So, I bought a #J1772 to #NACS #Tesla adapter but I'd only use a Tesla #Supercharger (or destination charger) as a last resort (because I have issues with #Musk ) & haven't even downloaded the Tesla charging app yet, so I can't even use a Tesla charger yet but . . .

Here's an interesting article to those who are interested in #EVs published by #ConsumerReports about their experience charging certain non-Tesla EVs at #Tesla #Superchargers with a J1772 to NACS (Tesla) adapter or with Tesla's #MagicDock . . .

SLOW level 2 AC public charger @ Newport RI transportation center

The chargers are outside the garage so you only pay $1.5 / hour for charging for the first 4 hours. Way cheaper than parking ($2.5 per 30 mins)

But it is very slow. Rated 6.2kw, but I only got peak 5.9kw. Better than nothing though as we wondered around town and had lunch / coffee.

On the way back home from North Shore I thought I’d charge up for Newport trip tomorrow. Stopped at Assembly EA station. There were a swarm of KIA EVs waiting, even though the app shows 1 charger was available…

Pulled up EVgo app and found a very high power ChargePoint station nearby… at Ford Dealer (I use that dealer for my truck 🤣) 320kw - wow! I preconditioned the battery so it was nice and toasty and ready to accept maximum charge. So I drove there. And it worked so well. Though it’s very expensive - greedy car dealers!!

The charging curve was impressive on Taycan. Started at 40% SoC, pulling in 282kw maximum. Still pulling in over 200kw at 72%. This car is a beast.
