Arguably the most fickle member of the Road & Track staff, Reviews Editor Mack Hogan is likely the only person to ever cross shop an ND Miata with an Isuzu Vehicross. He founded the automotive reviews section of CNBC during his sophomore year of college and has been writing about cars ever since.
One of the Electrify America fast chargers was already broken. Another de-rated itself from 150 kW to 30 kW. Oil seeped from its pristine white base. The credit card reader wasn’t working. A few hours later, it broke entirely. Four hours into our first Performance EV of the Year test, two out of three fast chargers at our primary charging location were down. There was a line of four cars waiting to use the remaining charger.
But there is greener grass. All of the Tesla Supercharger stations we visited in the Plaid had open stalls and working, seamless, high-speed chargers. Plugging in was seamless. The payment, app, and charge-session-initiation issues we experienced at Electrify America were all gone. You plug in the car, it charges your account, and the electrons flow. Proof, then, that charging can work.This time next year, even America’s best network will likely buckle under the strain.
