I haven't gotten "correct" home charging installed yet so I've been using a local business's chargers, which are also free. Only real downside is they're not close enough for me to want to walk anywhere so I just bring my nintendo, music, a movie, or a book.

I caught a quick-ish charge on my way out, at midnight and the charger left something in my port, which I was able to fix up the next day. I think the little plastic nub I pulled off was someone else's CCS1 DC pin cover.

the next day close up of the Bolt's J1772+CCS1 combo port with a J1772 handle plugged in and the orange flap covering the DC pins opened, you can see little black pieces of plastic covering the DC pins

Just to put that here. Curious if they'll add a CCS1 logo or if NACS is going to be the stand-out for now.

I also trimmed my beard earlier this week and got lunch earlier today

Not quite as nice as a daytime picture would’ve been but once again at the Sedona EA. Lots of complaints on plug share about speed but it’s riding the absolute top of my charge curve with no problem.

Cory "lives in the mountains" W@coryw· Jun 7

Especially since you can still go ruin your life by attaching a 6-20 adapter to this fixed 14-50 adapter and trying to pull 40 amps out of a 20 amp circuit if you either forgot to adjust the EVSE or something happened and the EVSE forgot your adjustment

Shell Recharge portable EVSE with a J1772 handle and a NEMA 14-50 connector, it's not clearly shown here but this portable charger is not modular. It does have a button below the screen that lets you adjust the amperage

Cory "lives in the mountains" W@coryw· Jun 7

In both 120v and 240v the best-designed chargers have removable power cord ends and the specific cord that's inserted (usually based on a resistor) tells the charger which amperage to use.

Ampure Go 1 (common pack-in charger for EVs) with a 14-50 cord and 5-15 cord both leading to substantial connectors that would fit into the box in the middle

Cory "lives in the mountains" W@coryw· Jun 7

This is such an extremely specific nerd detail but I hate it when people say things like "I'm an adult and can manage charging amperage myself" buddy have you ever heard of situational disability? Modular NEMA adapters and "a plug is a promise" is absolutely the way we should be advocating for

microsoft inclusive design framework graphic showing permanent, temoporary, and situational disabilities for touch hear see and speak.

(these are all merely examples)

the situational disabilities are "new parent" for touch, "bartender" for situational, "distracted driver" for see and "heavy accent" for speak

the temporary disabilities are "arm injury" for touch, "ear infection" for hear, "cataract" for see and "laryngitis" for speak.

the permanent disability examples are one arm for touch, deaf for hear, blind for see and non-verbal for speak

Got some tunes at the charger

found it!

BYD Dolphin Surf and 51kwh Atto 2 are outright unimpressive chargers and the highest end Sealion 7 tops out at 230kW for a 24-minute 10-80 (not beating out the ioniq5.) And the Ioniq5 sells gangbusters there so Germany seems willing to buy basically the same sized crossovers and small SUV we do

Hyundai Ioniq5 sales by country graphic highlighting that during 2022-02 to 2024-02 after 66,000 sales each in South Korea and USA, Germany buys the third most Ioniq5s with 33,000 sales in same period.

as a sidenote the battery cabcar is giving NS DDZ mDDM power car which is a B-B-B unit shorter than the other cars with seating on top and power electronics down below.

This is a bad render of a perfectly fine train. CalTrain has the same units and only ten seats are lost/gained in swapping from just one to two sets of doors. ~85-100/car right now.

I haven’t decided how I want to share trip pictures yet but here’s a tasty morsel that wouldn’t have fit into any “narrative” or whatever

so I missed ROVE but one thing I did get to see was two separate third party NACS handles and just as I predicted their cables are every bit as big and they are every bit as unwieldy as a comparable CCS1 cable (forgot to flip these over & check amperages) (not going to an IONNA soon unfortunately)

EVGo station "Rohina" labeled in yellow for NACS-J3400 with two Huber-Suhner NACS cables attached. An orange-globed left hand is holding one of the cables and it has a giant cable going back to the dispenser unit

APS funded an EA at a regional park in Sedona and it’s lovely. Restrooms, water, light hiking, some great landscapes (Bolt behind me in this picture) (others are at a college in Prescott, shopping center in Payson and somewhere rando in Show Low iirc)

It’s a fun site! Well-timed too since it seems like the free-vend 50kW caltrans station down the way is in need of some maintenance (usually the machine boots but the cables are ripped off, this machines cables were in great shape though)

I feel like I need to start searching more of them out and figuring out what the best angles really are but it feels like there's also something to the idea EV chargers lend themselves slightly better to a good landscape than gas pumps
