Source: Volkswagen Begins Installing Chargers Under Electrify America Plan In total, eight units were installed in the Washington, D.C. area last month: Pentagon City Fashion Centre in Arlington, Virginia; Ashburn Village Center in Ashburn, Virginia; Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets in Leesburg, Virginia; Newgate Shopping Center in Centreville, Virginia; Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center in Woodbridge, Virginia; Dulles Town Circle in Dulles, Virginia; Bowie Town Center in Bowie, Maryland; St. Charles Towne Center in Waldorf, Maryland. By September, 50 more stations are to be available in 10 metro markets: Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Portland (Oregon), Seattle and Washington D.C. Currently Volkswagen is installing dual-head (CCS Combo / CHAdeMO) units, with a 50 kW output. I've been to those places and everything is great until: Chargers are connected to the EVgo charging network, . . . GACK! AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!! Bob Wilson
Perhaps some of our DC area members might visit and take pictures? NOTE: Or I could (did) use PlugShare.com Bob Wilson
better locations? iduno . . . . most of the folks around the DC area and it's burbs, are driving land barges on the way to & from the capitol. Even on the 2nd round of installs ... only THEN are they going to hit one of the states w/ tons of plugins's ... namely, Washington state. imo, the 1st area of installs is a waste. here's a crazy thought .... figure out which areas have the MOST plugin's and start there. There i go thinkin' again. .
out here? EVgo - compared to the Blink system? they're a delight .... because they at least have a 50/50 chance of working. Blink ? Not so much. .
I expect the VW chargers to say they provided 10 kwh of electricity even though they only delivered 5 kwh. But when you put it into test mode and connect a watt meter it will read exactly correct. Mike
