I also don’t know the reason the Rivian owner couldn’t use the other chargers, that was not explained.
The chargers are marked 'EVGo', so the most likely explanation is that only half of them were working.

People ask me what's the worst part about owning an EV, and my honest answer is usually "other ev owners".
I understand ones frustration if situations like this occurred often. Thankfully I haven't experienced it a public charger so far.

I would disagree however that other EV owners are the worst part. I can't even begin to thank how much this community has enlightened me with knowledge over the last couple years, everything from order, tracking, purchase negotiation, operation, to maintenance. I hope you get better satisfaction among the EV drivers that maybe giving you a difficult time.

Huh, all of those 350kW Delta chargers around me split the power down to 200 amps when both hoses are in use, which happens to be exactly how many amps the smaller Delta chargers put out. It doesn't make sense to me, since the chargers advertise a rate of 540 amps to the car (according to OBD)...
EA has a better power sharing scheme, I have been power shared on the new EA units and was still able to pull 200kw with the Rivian. I have an EVGO site near me with 4 power shared Signet units, and the four power supplies can each output 500A or 175kw (max of the two parameters). But that configuration is 4 separate dispensers, not one with two cables.

My apologies to the world for the behavior of the idiots from PA! unfortunately living in N. Delaware I have suffered their rage many a day.
Granted not everyone in PA acts like that but it is more common than not.
Hopefully those of you here also from PA understand that I am not picking on anyone specifically because this behavior is more common place all over the US!
Lets all be courteous and respect others as you would have them respect you.

Weren't they the ones that pelted Santa Clause with Snow Balls at an Eagles game?

Hey, where's the tribalism? Aren't we supposed to all get behind the MME guy????
I think the red on the MME is nicer than the red on the Rivian... but they're both amazing vehicles. First time I've seen a photo of a red Rivian, it does look nice.

That's the best I can do - the MME is parked like a jerk and had a response fit to match. Shameful.

It was a drunk idiot at the end of a disastrous season. And it was in 1968. Worse happens in every stadium every year but a 55 year old incident still comes up every time.

I'd love to give this Mustang owner the benefit of the doubt, but he's made it reaaaaal difficult. Ugh. But what does "VOIP" mean?
