It's not easy being green.

4:20 pm ET. App seems back up, for now

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@ChargePointnet @RateYourCharge What is going on with the ChargePoint app? It's been showing no charging stations since 2pm ET on Windows, Android and iOS.

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@RateYourCharge Sometime in the last 3 months the supercharger in Orangeburg,SC got a solar canopy. Just in time for my rainy journey today. As usual, uneventful 150kW.

@brandenflasch @itskyleconner @RateYourCharge @GenesisUSA Or... It's not real it's not real-time

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@andrewIambrecht It's not May yet. Did they let you out of the study early or are you going rogue?

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@TheOSUBuckeye09 @RateYourCharge @ElectrifyAm Do you have any idea if this bus uses the station regularly? I would think they charge to full at the depot and would rarely use public infrastructure... Just trying to learn!

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@brandenflasch @Ford @FordPro Let's find out if they use public charging while out and about. I bet they do at least once a week.

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@andrewIambrecht I'm determined to put one of these on Lake Norman soon!

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@brandenflasch @ElectrifyAm @RateYourCharge Is it possible to plug into a station like #2 when it's in phantom in-use mode?

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@andrewIambrecht So what's next, Andrew? Are you still eyeing a used i3? You can't be without an electric car!

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@brandenflasch @Audi @VW @LucidMotors @ElectrifyAm Curious to know what people struggle with at these stations... Is it the app? The screen? The whole process?

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@itskyleconner The EA app shows stations 01, 02, and 03 are "in use" with 01 being the older ABB unit.

@andrewIambrecht I received the 2nd in MA back in the day long before the move the CLT

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

I drove my TM3 from Charlotte to Milwaukee and back over the holiday and only saw 2 non-Teslas on the road, an R1T in NC and an Ionic 5 in IN. Now I know where they all were!

[Branden Flasch @brandenflasch]

Full @ElectrifyAm stations around the country 😬 Here’s South Carolina, Florida, California and Colorado

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@andrewIambrecht Not going to argue that one!

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

Here's the video: https://t.co/5cnLhj5hzc @ToyotaCharlotte - why is there a Tesla Model 3 in your charging video?

[Bill Ferro @bferro]

@tommolog - just watched today's InsideEVs episode and thought this would be appropriate to the Toyota discussion. Local new station blindly references Toyota for their EV charging knowledge🤪. The video shows a woman charging a de-badged Model 3! https://t.co/NfcleN3eBp

@MattFFerro Check out this article from a kindred spirit in Europe: https://t.co/ZKyAAYusVE

@BCBrownell @brandenflasch Look up the sad stories of Locast and Aereo. They tried this but were shut down by arcane laws.
