How fast do these long wires charge? Barstow Ca

[Little Mule]

Charging in Barstow with a crap ton of new charge stations but saw these guys off to the side and wonder how much juice the pump?

Looks like a level 2 charger, not a supercharger. So max would be somewhere around 11.5 kw depending on the service. These cant charge nearly as fast due to limitations of the onboard charger, the supercharger bypasses the onboard charger if I remember correctly.

You'd be better to charge on that until a supercharger opens up and then move if possible!

Probably 50amp - looks like regular home charger/cable. Scan tie barcode and see if there are details.

yep those look to be "Destination Chargers" you find at hotels about 10-12kw 40amps x 220v

Worse, they'll max at 48A, but almost always be 208V since they're wired off commercial service. ~15% slower than charging at home.

prepare to spend the day at the charger lol

I noticed those at that same Supercharger location and also in Baker. I never see them at Superchargers usually.

When in Barstow, we use the Superchargers that are located directly behind Chili's restaurant...

I actually 'found' them about a year before I bought our first EV! That's one of our 'stops' along the way from Ventura to Las Vegas... We stop there because it's usually about lunch time and, more importantly, we need a break after driving for 3-4 hours... So we ALWAYS stopped there to eat, use bathrooms (clean) and stretch our legs... Even in a GAS car ya gotta stop sometimes!

From there, we now stop at the Superchargers in Primm (just over the border) at the Primm Valley 'Resort'... They are MUCH cheaper than California ones! About half the cost once you cross the border... So, we take it up to 80% again (usually pretty fast because it's only about 125 miles or so (but some BIG hills along the way) and then we're good to go for Vegas for a day or two before we need more...
