Hello all!

Ok so I am in Vegas for The Weeknd and I have had a hell of a time finding a charging station that is working. It appears that EA is the main option for Level 3 charging.

I tried the Cesars Palace option. Out of 6 chargers only one works. But the app says 4 are available.

Tried the Target option… same thing.

The South Outlets only had one charger down but there were 20+ cars waiting to charge.

Went a little further out to Spring Valley Walmart and 3 out of 4 with not a long wait so finally charging.

EA has to get it together and have techs on call LOCALLY because this is a MAJOR problem when so many chargers are down. They can’t say they don’t know because EVERYONE waiting called lol.

just have to do better.

Side note: The Tesla Model S dipshit who parked in the EA spot just to run in and shop but not charge… yo momma is a whole ass hoe.

Rant over. That is all,

Admittedly it was back in April, but I charged twice at this location below with no problems. The one at the South Premium Outlets sucked.

I was just in Reno and had the same issue. In fact, I drove from Oakland to Gardnerville NV, and charged once in Placerville at a Raley's EVgo, after stopping in Folsom and waiting for 1/2 working chargers with anohter car after the one charging. Perfect experience ith the one in Placerville.

Got to Gardnerville where the Raley's there had a dead EVgo charger. Thankfully, my client who's house I helped design, has a 240 plug and I used it twice while there. The second charge was 100% and got me to Reno (55 miles) then back to Oakland without having to charge and 50 miles left! The descent in the Sierras added range to the trip so I was elated to not have to go through the bullshit of charging on the way home.

I imagine they will step it up and satisfy us EV drivers soon because the situation is a shit show.

The amount of EVs used as taxis in Vegas is insane and they really need to get the charging situation under control. One company has a whole fleet of MME and there’s some with self-driving IONIQ 5 as well.

I've never had any issues with the Target chargers. All 4 have always been working. Haven't used though since last December.

1 worked at each! Pretty good for EA. Hear it at EVERY charger. 2 i use regularly for road trips. 2 of 4 worked for months. They closed it to upgrade. Now 2 of 4 now work. Over a year always a line. The other 1 of 4 worked for months. Closed replace all 4. Now? 3 of 4 work. Again this way on both over 3 years. Tesla already has magic docks on 16 stations. 15 of them work. The issue is going to be most non tesla EVs take 2 spots. If I am tesla driver pull in and all full with non tesla taking 2 spots I would be pissed.
