Electric Vehicles?

At my township park-and-ride lot, there are two public charepoint ev charging stations (L2, I think). Yesterday, I saw an Amazon Rivian delivery van standing there, with the driver trying to figure out how to charge it. Given how "efficient" Amazon is with the delivery people and use of their time, I hope this poor guy won't end up spending his own time charging the company's van.

Guess it depends on the generation that Rivian van is. They are switching to NACS, but the early ones were CCS.

Geeze. My town is 1/5 the size of yours and we have a LOT more than 6. I don't even drive an EV, and I've got multiple options within a mile or two of my house.

Since the city I am moving to is the "home" of Tesla, there are Tesla chargers all over the place. They seem to have cut deals with a lot of retail complexes in Fremont. So there are around 30-40 chargers within a few miles of me.

Made me wonder if we had any charging stations now, a few years ago we didn't have any per a visiting friend with an ev, nearest was about 45 miles away. I just looked it up and a local motel now has a station with two ports and a site that doesn't seem to have a particular name (so will have to go drive by it and see just what it is) apparently also has two ports. So I guess we're pretty ev friendly now

A friend lives in SF. He said there is a Shell station that has no gas pumps; it is all chargers now. First one here I guess. I was just in SF on Sun, but didn't go check it out.

Only in The City.

There are more options (Many more now that Hyundai has access to Tesla) but that's the only EA hub in town that we can get free charging from. Makes no sense to use anything else in town when I can charge at home at night for $0.07/Kwh.
