After a soul-crushingly slow trudge out of Mass and across Connecticut, we saw a little bit of everything from Electrify America:
1) Congestion but a fully operational station and reliable hardware in Newburgh, NY.
2) A key location reopened in Bloomsburg, PA, with a fresh new Sheetz but the same old hardware that couldn’t hold a session.
3) A respectable charge in State College, PA, but lower power on a couple of units potentially limits turnover at busier times.
Enter EVgo’s latest 350 kW hardware, which started right up again with Autocharge+ and delivered 12-80% in 17 minutes, allowing us to bypass a perma-full EA station just north of Pittsburgh.
3 miles per kWh over 750 miles is a solid number for a fully loaded IONIQ 5 AWD, although it was inevitably helped by that laborious first four hours.
Stick with us for more drive day Shorts and full trip videos as we bounce around the states this month 🛣️👀
