Just a small project tracking all new charging sites added to AFDC.
Not for route planning or live status, just for the charging nerds who want to see whatβs opening.
Let me know what you think.

- Replying to @schroedinger_Lifted trucks have their bumpers at the same height as the vulnerable areas of most cars. Thereβs no reason to allow them on the same roads.
- You can also install Teams personal for maximum confusion.
- Iβm glad someone caught the @VW ID.4 system crashing. Mine is only 40 days old, and this has happened 5 or 6 times with the same weird sounds. Sometimes it restarts quickly, but one time it took half an hour. Very distracting, and a safety concern if you ask me.

EV Built-In Route Planner Road Trip Race! Follow Exactly Where The Car Says To Charge youtu.be/0-Ft0g3Z_tQ - Replying to @unusual_whalesThis small detail seems important: βPutin was proposing to freeze the conflict at the current lines and was unwilling to cede any of the Ukrainian territory controlled by Russiaβ
- More details of the Cayenne EV are out, and we even got a charging curve. π³ Full reveal coming later this year at the LA Auto Show. β’1000+ HP β’108 kWh usable, 800V β’600 km (372 mi) WLTP β’10β80% in <16 min β’400 kW charging peak β’Rear-wheel steering & Active Ride
- Mercedes Benz CLA EV revealed. Nice specs. It's probably going to be one of the best road trippers. β‘ - 492-mile WLTP range - 5.2 mi/kWh efficiency - 320kW max charging (10-80% in <22 mins) - 200 miles added in 10 mins - 0.21 drag coefficient
- The BMW iX3 seems to have one of the smoothest one pedal braking out there. Even on a 20% grade π³ βan uncanny absence of jerks or creaksβ βstops so smoothly and cleanly that if you close your eyes, you canβt tell when itβs stopped rolling.β

- Interesting look at the BMW iX3 battery pack. 4695 cells in a structural pack design. An important part: βEach battery cell is equipped with dual liquid cooling.β Also looks like BMWβs 4695 cells edge out Teslaβs 4680s on both gravimetric and volumetric energy density.
BREAKINGοΌBWM Gen6 pack vs Tesla 4680 pack 1, Larger individual capacity (Tesla 26Ah vs BMW 32Ah 23% up) 2, Horizontal arrangement, double-layer liquid cooling, higher efficiency 3, There are a total of 40 rows, each with 24 cells, for a total of 960 cells 4, 400V/800V
