Either https://www.electrifyamerica.com/pricing/ has a web site bug or they semi-fixed CA pricing. Pass+ remains 31 cents/kWh but Pass/guest in CA is now 25 cents/minute for 1 to 75 kW (car reported) max charging rate with no session fee.

I suspect it's a web site bug as the app is still showing for CA, 43 cents/kWh for guest/Pass.
 
^^^ Undoubtedly in error.

Electrify America launches 8 solar-powered EV charging stations in rural Fresno County

https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/10/20201001-ea.html


3.5 kW dual L2 sites. I noticed these on the map "Coming soon" a couple of days ago, and was wondering why they
were off the main highways. It's all part of a program aimed at getting public charging into low-income communities, which typically also have poor air quality.

I question the utility of centrally-located L2 chargers for renters: they need QCs, or else L2s at home or work. As the Fresno area is an agricultural center with lots of migrant labor (and lousy air quality), it's hard to see any great use for these except for vanpools, although they are being located convenient to public transit and presumably pick-up points for field laborers. Still, I doubt that demographic will be switching to BEVs anytime soon - PHEVs maybe.

For LEAf and Bolt owners. For Kia and Hyundai owners it's a better deal (vice $0.35/min.), and for ID.4 buyers to come and people whose cars can charge at even higher rates it's an even better deal.
 
Spotted a couple of important expansion sites "Coming soon": South Lake Tahoe (SLT Blvd. east of the 'Y'); Williams, AZ (I-40, W. of the Jct. to the S. Rim of the Grand Canyon).

Assuming they'll build one in Kingman, Kingman to Williams is 115 miles with 3,422' of net elev. gain (98 miles uphill from Fenner to Kingman), which is pushing it at 75 esp. with A/C, so I wonder if they'll put one in Seligman (my choice) or Ash Fork as well.

Those would all be great!

Finally shortens that gap on 101. Greenfield was announced well before Soledad but still hasn't opened, so I wonder if it's dead. The two sites are fairly close together, and while we need that kind of density for reliability reasons (allowing reasonable rather than excessive reserves to be used),:there are other larger and/or more critical gaps in coverage that should be a higher priority. In addition to Soledad/Greenfield, here's the list of road trip coverage expansion or gap filler "Coming soon" sites that I've been or will be monitoring and consider most important for completion:

WA: Bellingham (I-5); Port Angeles (U.S. 101); Leavenworth (U.S. 2, new)

Oregon: Bend (U.S. 97)

CA: Garberville & Willits (U.S. 101); Pacific Grove (off S.R. 1); Los Banos, Harris Ranch & Carlsbad/Oceanside (I-5); Oakhurst (S.R.41); Fenner & Needles! (I-40, the latter new)

AZ: Quartzsite (I-10) Dateland (I-8), Williams & Kingman! (I-40, latter new)

NV: The long awaited and finally appearing W. Wendover (I-80).

There are also sites in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Alabama, S. Carolina & Vermont, but they're not in areas I'm ever likely to drive to so I don't pay much attention to them.
 
I don't see any smaller gaps on the 101 especially considering that EA (as is VERY common) chose to install in a town that already has a charger. I guess redundancy will help.

I saw the Kingman as under construction on Plugshare - no photos yet. It shows only 1 of each? Or is that just a placeholder? Gosh I hope its more than one charger.
