TRYING A NEW CHARGING NETWORK! CROSS-COUNTRY HOLIDAY ROAD TRIP IN MY F150 LIGHTNING - PART 3

EV Channels Review

This installment of the F-150 Lightning's cross-country road trip focuses on the charging experience in the Midwest. The reviewer highlights the new SK Signet 400kW chargers at Kwik Trip, finding them to be a positive and powerful addition to the charging infrastructure, delivering expected performance. However, the trip was marred by a significant negative experience at a hotel in the Chicago area, where the provided Wallbox Pulsar Plus chargers were either out of order or severely misconfigured, defaulting to a useless 6-amp output. This led to a frustrating "walk of shame" to a neighboring hotel with slightly more functional, though still suboptimal, charging. The reviewer expresses disappointment that the hotel replaced reliable Tesla Wall Connectors with these problematic units. Despite the hotel charging debacle, the Kwik Trip fast charging and Tesla Superchargers performed well, offering a more reliable charging experience.
