Today I picked up my new 2022 GTPE at Red Rock Ford in Williston, SD. My report on the pleasant experience I enjoyed there can be fond in the 06/27/22 Build Week thread.
The problem is driving my new car back to the central coast of California. There are very few DC fast chargers or Level 2 public EV chargers in the Dakotas or Montana, even in relatively large cities. So my first stop on the way home was the KOA campground at Miles City, MT. For about $50, I reserved a pull-through RV spot with a 50-amp hookup.
My new AMPROAD iFlow P9 adjustable EV charger worked flawlessly, allowing me to push 40 amps to the car, the maximum allowable on a 50 amp circuit.
Although the hookup only delivered around 205 volts @40 amps, it was plenty to fully charge the car overnight.
By the time I get to Idaho, I'll have DC fast chargers all the way home, so I won't have to stop at RV parks and endure the curious gazes of those with EV envy!
