First charging stop of the trip, getting some of that first-two-years free electricity that came with the car.The challenge is “can I use the restroom &eat my lunch before the charging is done??”Looks like nope again (esp with this fast charger giving me 210kW!)#EV #roadtrip #SueWalkstheEarth

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop Is there any sort of penalty for occupying a charger for too long?

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop

@crimedad Yes! It varies by company but the Electrify America chargers give you a grace period of about 5 minutes and then you have to be out or they start charging you (I forget how much). That's 5 minutes past the 30 minute charging "slot" allotted or whenever you're done charging, whichever comes first. But I've never had a charging session more than about 25 min.
