Thanks, though it seems they left CA for last. Will be excited for the Milwaukee stop to open, and hope to see Green Bay on a phase 2 map.
GRA said:WetEV's list includes several sites that are already open, as well as "Coming Soon" sites. The open ones I noticed were in the west, e.g. el Paso, Trinidad, Beaver, Cedar City, Casa Grande, Benson, Flagstaff, Winslow, Grants, Gallup, Mesquite.

My impression from looking at the installation, and description on the structure, is that each pedestal can deliver 300kW to one cord or share it between two cords. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to have two cords per pedestal. The CCS/Chademo pedestal was limited to 150 kW on the CCS plug and 50 kW on the Chademo plug.GRA said:^^^ Although they all have dual connectors, it's actually just 3 CCS plus 1 CCS-CHAdeMO. Judging by the check-ins on Plugshare, that site has been notably unreliable.

The dual charging cables are not designed to charge two vehicles at the same time, but rather to easily reach your car’s charging port—no matter where it’s located. If either connector is in use, look for a different open charger. Most Electrify America locations will have four or more chargers at a station.

Maybe the cables fail often, and having a spare on site is worth the expense.
I'm nearly certain that other brands of dual-cable chargers can charge two vehicles at once, very likely power sharing.

That would be https://www.plugshare.com/location/154516 -- for a site that is under a year old, it doesn't look like one I would like to depend upon for any long distance trip.Judging by the check-ins on Plugshare, that site has been notably unreliable.
