VISITING EVERY DCFC IN COLORADO - PART 5

EV Channels Review

This livestream chronicles an ambitious attempt to visit every DC fast charger in Colorado, focusing on the challenges and triumphs of EV charging infrastructure. The hosts encounter numerous technical glitches, including YouTube stream failures and connectivity issues, necessitating the use of Starlink. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to testing various charging networks like Electrify America, Tesla Superchargers, and ChargePoint. While Tesla and EA stations generally perform well, ChargePoint's Express Plus stations prove problematic, exhibiting grid limitations, charging session bugs, and incompatibility with the e-Golf. The reviewer highlights the e-Golf's CCS communication issues, which prevent it from charging at certain stations, contrasting it with the Blazer EV's better compatibility. Despite the frustrations, the hosts maintain a positive outlook, emphasizing the importance of the mission and the growing EV community.
