First Supercharger with Magic Dock CCS Adapter charges up a Rivian

[Ogre]

Can you guys tell if all chargers at this location have been retrofitted or some of them? All would make sense otherwise CCS refugees will have to deal with the same level of uncertainty as they do now.

They will download the Tesla app and it will tell them which chargers have CCS and how many stalls are available. There is no uncertainty.

Man, I was just there getting tai-yaki and drove right past them without looking. x-x

If all chargers are not converted and only one or two are, and I put them in as an essential part of my 12 hour road trip plan, they could be free when I leave and occupied by couple of Tesla owners that are not thrilled about this whole thing leaving all other chargers I can’t use free. When I leave, I would be uncertain about what I have to deal with when I get there. On the other hand if all chargers are converted and that location is rarely fully occupied, I can be fairly certain, I will be OK.

Everyone has to deal with this issue right now. You can’t plan a trip and expect that the state of any charge will be the same in 3 hours as it is when you depart.

Standard Supercharger use: When you are 30 minutes from needing to stop, you take a peak at the available stations ahead of you and adapt your plans based on that. I’ve dealt with the other apps, Tesla’s way is about 300x better.

Supposedly they're adding virtual queues for the magic dock, but so far, it's not accessible so...

To replicate the EA experience, they should install only 4 Magic-Docks, and 3 of them should be broken.

Also, only one of them should be delivering the rated capacity. The rest should be down rated to 50 kW. And the 1 stall which is operating at the full rated capacity is occupied by a guy driving a Bolt and charging to 100%.

I don't know how to extract the video, someone should do that ^-^

I was able to click on the link and it came up.

I'm making money off a Rivian ?

I hope manufactures start putting the charge ports in better locations now. Exciting times.

Imagine CCS charging taking up every other stall meaning a Tesla then can't use the purple stall.

Imagine a world without hypothetical situations
