Here in Flagstaff, which is sort of a stopping point for travelers on I-40 between Albuquerque and Vegas or LA, the only public chargers I ever see are the ones at the local Walmart. I think there are four of them but I rarely see them being used. I do know they have some sort of credit card POS terminal on them, so I have to believe you're paying for the privilege.
I could justify an EV for just running around town, which I would expect would be charged at home. I can drive across Flagstaff in under 20 minutes, so unless we wanted to dash down to PHX and see AZ Bob (not this time of year, sorry Bob!) long trips just wouldn't be necessary. And I would keep at least one of the MLs for long drives. Of course, driving to PHX wouldn't be bad because it's mostly downhill. The return trip might not be as pleasant, however. -D ________________________________ From: Mercedes <mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com> on behalf of Jim Cathey via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Friday, July 7, 2023 4:15 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Jim Cathey <jim.cathey...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: charger outages leave northern Ontario EV drivers stranded > For less than half that money I can get a decent W211 and drive it 400 miles > without stopping.
