WISCONSEV - CHARGING VISIT TO THE TOMAH TRIFECTA ELECTRIFY AMERICA, TESLA SUPERCHARGER & ZEF ENERGY

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive review of the "Tomah Trifecta," a charging hub featuring Electrify America, Tesla Supercharger, and ZEF Energy stations. The reviewer highlights the convenience of having multiple charging options in one location, noting its strategic position for travelers in Wisconsin. However, the Electrify America chargers, manufactured in 2018, are criticized for their age, slow charging speeds (even on the 350kW units), and finicky performance, despite the ease of use of their app. The Tesla Supercharger (V3, 250kW) offers better speeds, but the reviewer found the short cables to be a significant drawback, leading to a "thumbs down" for minimal hassle. The ZEF Energy 50kW charger, also from 2018, provided a surprisingly decent charging experience for its age and limitations, especially for the Chevrolet Equinox EV's Ultium battery, which is amperage-limited. The reviewer appreciated the ZEF's long cable and ease of use, giving it a "thumbs up" for expected speed and amenities, though it's acknowledged as a slower option. Overall, while the location offers variety, the aging infrastructure of EA and Tesla's cable length issues detract from the experience.
