Now, all chargers go dark. I have to go 8 miles north to the charger in Cere. The charger looks and feels like ChargePoint, but i got an email that my EvGo account will be charged. The only link between EVGO and CHPT is my email address.
Did EVGO hijacked CHPT?

I don\'t think I want an electric car.

This seems like a shitload of effort just to \"refuel\" a device that
you likely use daily. I can think of two \"gas stations\" that have
closed in the decades I\'ve been here: one associated with a
grocery store (why is a grocery store selling fuel?) and
the other to make way for a coffee shop -- likely because there
are far too many gas stations (and not enough coffee shops???)

Yes, driving EV is very challenging. I am just experiencing it to report the
fact, just the fact, as a matter of fact. I am not anti-EV or anti-ICE.
It\'s for some people, but not all people, certainly not 100% by 2040. Since
I get hit from both EV fans and ICE lovers, I must be correct.

Forget the proselytizing. Why would you want to CONTINUE with something
that is proving to be such a hassle? I could see if it was something that
you used infrequently -- like a weedwacker that is a pain to rethread the
cutting line... you can opt to put up with it because it makes trimming
weeds so much easier. But, I\'m going to hop in the car and buy some
groceries. Then, two hours later, I\'ll head out for another trip
(store opens later). I\'d surely not want to have to wonder/worry about
whether or not I can make both trips, regardless of traffic, temperature
sitting in stopped traffic under the sun, etc. There\'s just more important
things for me to worry about than \"fuel\".
[I have literally no idea where the cheapest fuel is, in town. But, I *do*
know where the most *convenient* -- to my typical other activities -- fuel
is available. As its a commodity, I don\'t expect to see significantly
different prices from one place to another. Just like I expect Planters
Peanuts to cost *roughly* the same in a given tier of shops]

But i only do long distance few times per year and I got plan B (AAA+) and C
(GG). Local charging/driving within the bay area is fine.
AAA+: 4x100miles towing GG: Gasoline Generator
Rent a car if you need to go any significant distance. Fuel will be
available at damn near every corner. AND, if it breaks down, you
call the rental company: \"YOUR car is broken. Come get/fix it!\"

I only travel to other states a few times per year. I let a commercial
airline get me there, most times. Because driving is not worth the
time nor *risk* (accidents, breakdowns, weather events, etc.)
[Vegas or SoCal are worth the drive as I have other activities that
I can take in when I\'ve got \"wheels\". But, see below...]

Well, AAA+ is like public transport for EV, and very reasonable (read the
stalled EV thread). You can\'t beat $25 for moving the car 100 miles. I

Only if they are cheap. Leaf is cheaper than similar ICE cars, but you just have to pay what you get, not get what you pay.

Did it twice just to be sure. I use CHPT RFID card on the CHPT charger, but the session showed up on my EVGO account. There is no way for CHPT to have my EVGO account and debit card info. The debit card is not in use anywhere else. Unless the station is scanning all my RFID cards in the key ring and pick only the EVGO card for billing but CHPT card for control on/off.

Under Volt kills:
The CSU incidence drained my battery down to 9% and killed my expansion battery. That\'s fine, better than killing my main battery. Segment 3 is down to 80V. That means some cells are dead. I got 2 hot swap and 6 cold swap (need soldering) replacement modules in the car. Hopefully, I can do a hot battery swap at Walmart parking lot, before they kick me out.
