East Ridge and Murphy Express quick chargers are both down. Slow electrons for me at East Ridge for a while.
rslatkin,
What is the display saying when you got to the DC fast charger in Kimball?
The Manager for the CB store and I where able to get the DC fast charger at Stewart's Ferry to work again, by resetting the breaker in one of the panels that all CB stores have the keys for.
What is on the screen on the right unit, and on the left unit?
Ralph
The Kimball quick charger mysteriously started working while I was there and I was able to get my only quick charge of the trip there.
Initially, both screens said the unit is out of service. I called Blink and they said the individual Cracker Barrel stores have keys to reset the red E-stop button, and the district managers have keys to the padlock on the disconnect switch that would be needed to actually reset the charger. The manager at the CB was very friendly and tried to help, but he didn't have the right key and his district manager was all the way in Nashville.
I went for a walk around the shopping center while my car was doing Level 2 charging, and when I came back, both quick charge screens said Hello. So I tried the one on the left since the right one was ICEd. It read my card but I could only enter one digit of my zip code, the touch screen seemed not to be working right. So I talked to the manager again and angle parked my car so it would reach the right connector and that worked. The quick charge was great! I really hope Blink can do some repairs before my trip home on Friday. The quick chargers would make it much better.
I got into Murfreesboro about 11:30pm last night. I was starting to get tired but it was also a good feeling to pull into the Embassy Suites parking lot and plug the car in. Being Sunday night the hotel was not busy and both of the Blink level 2s were available.
