In some recent videos, Out of Spec tested Electrify America stations in the recent cold weather. What they found was that some local stations didn’t work in zero degree (F) temperatures.

Social media posts, YouTube videos, and even some articles in mainstream publications have piled on.

Last month, we reported that Electrify America was making some changes. Among them are new stations to replace first-generation stations that were giving problems, a new way to describe charging speeds, and easier access to customer service.

Getting started with DC fast charging can be kind of intimidating. Charging at home? That’s easy. Just plug the thing in (assuming it’s been installed or you can use Level 1). But, when it comes to fueling up away from home, new EV buyers will often be used to the gas station experience, with an […]
