@lukefromscout: EV chargers shouldn’t need the cloud just to work. When an AWS outage can stop you from charging, that’s a problem. #electriccar #evcharging #carsoftiktok #cartok #carcommunity
It should be illegal for ev chargers to rely on a persistent internet connection. They should be able to function off of a single connection each day, to true up all transactions stored on the device. Obviously most of the time it would run in connected mode though

The dirty little secret is that maintaining two paths for everything costs a fortune so they all cut corners

Ionna opened a ton of new spots near me, absolutely made it that much more obvious how bad Electrify America is.
Literally just plugged in and tapped my card and the charger shot up to 230kW 10/10

In a power outage the gas pumps don’t work it’s the same issue.

Hopefully everything in tech moves away from needing an app for EVERYTHING

I thought Electrify America defaulted to free vend if their systems were down

Gas stations are all electric as well. Power out means no gas.

Why would they do that 🤣 they aren’t interested in making things easier for consumers

The conventional card readers all backhaul through AWS

Oh God I didn’t realize AWS being down would effect EV charging. What a world.

I thought they EA failed to free charging in the past

Glad I’m able to charge at home! Didn’t even think about public chargers not working due to AWS.

You shouldn’t say EV Chargers you should say everyone except Tesla Superchargers and Rivian. The reliability infrastructure beyond those 2 for non-tesla owners would make me hate driving an EV if I could only use those. It shouldn’t be a common thing that they are constantly broken everywhere

No way would I depend on anything but Tesla Superchargers.

Electrify America has a backup, the card reader on the front of the machine. granted all networks don't have that but EA does.
