EVOLVE NY X ELECTRIFY AMERICA: DCFC DREAM TEAM?

EV Channels Review

This livestream review focuses on a unique Electrify America and EVolve NY collaboration charging site in Oneonta, NY. The reviewer highlights the site's advantages over previous experiences, particularly the longer cables and the inclusion of both CCS and CHAdeMO connectors, alongside Tesla Superchargers. While the charging speed for the Bolt EV is noted as capped at 55kW, the reviewer finds the station's 150kW CCS capability more than sufficient and appreciates the availability of faster chargers for other EVs. The pricing is discussed, with the EVolve NY rate of $0.35/kWh being competitive, especially when offset by free charging promotions elsewhere. The reviewer praises the site's amenities, including its location off I-88 and proximity to a car wash and gas station, and commends EVolve NY's network expansion efforts. Despite some weather challenges during the trip, the charging experience itself was seamless and positive, contrasting sharply with earlier issues encountered.
