They are easily spotted by the short squat shape and industrial design of them. About three foot by three foot square and about five foot high, with louvers on the sides and a box on the side with the cord. Many of them have dual cables with CHAdeMO on the right and SAE fast charge on the left.
In my one experience, a Nissan dealer in LaGrange , GA has a Signet branded fast charger, it is inop and apparently, according to Plugshare reports, has been inop for a long time, possibly several months.
I started looking on Plugshare for DC fast charger sites and looking at the pics. I found a fair number of chargers that are clearly Signet brand (a Korean manufacturer of them) and number of them are inop.
Jack Ingram Motors, Montgomery, AL, two months ago, "L3 is down. Has been for weeks", and 24 days ago "Level 3 still inop."
Chronic Nissan, Griffin, GA, Two months ago "Level 3 supercharge station is not working." no newer reports on the Level 3 charger.
Georgia Regents University, Augusta, GA (formerly Georgia Medical College), this is a Greenlots unit with both CHAdeMO and SAE, "Jennifer @Greenlots a day ago. We are very sorry for this inconvenience and will escalate to the manufacturer. Thanks, Greenlots"
In all fairness, I'm sure there are other brands that have malfunctioned, and I found a number of the Signet units that were reported as working.. It just seems like I kept stumbling into these units on plugshare that were described as inop. Signet is a Korean manufacturer and the odd part is that Plugshare shows only three CHEdeMO units in all of Korea, one in Seoul and two on the island of Jeju south of the peninsula. You would think they would want the lions share of the market in their home country.
The one in this pic was installed by an idiot, I cannot think of any other description of someone who would put the front of the unit facing the down hill slope where you have to stand in the grass and dirt with your back to the slope to operate the display. (the display is on the far side, left, in this pic)
