Tim BrayBit of a news story here I haven't seen reported. Did an overnighter to Seattle, stayed in the University District. Looked for a place to fast-charge the car for the trip home home. Holy crap, there are almost none. Apparently there's (a) a lot of breakage and (b) systematic theft of the cables - they carry 100kW so a lot of copper. Found one eventually, but the first time I can remember being worried about charging. The Plugshare map shows lots of breakage but is still optimistic.
Martin Gordon@timbray I haven’t fast charged in a few weeks but do see that it’s a problem. I saw someone charging at EA U Village on Wednesday even though PlugShare reports they’re all out (all but one are out according to the EA app). My two go-tos are Mercer St and Madison Pike and haven’t had any issues at either. They’re in Bank of America parking lots which maybe offers some deterrence?
