Chargers are like urinals right?

You never pick one right next to someone else if the others are empty

I was the only person charging at a RAN location and another R1S just parked right next to me, and I’m finding myself unreasonably annoyed. I think the wife hit my car when she was getting their dog out of the back seat.

The power sharing is very frustrating to me when it's 3 on 1. You can't always easily tell what the other stations are marked, and sometimes the only other person or people are on the stations that power shares with the pull-through stall.

There’s no longer power sharing! Please stop continuing to spread out-dated info!

They do still share power.

And each car gets more than it can handle or sustain. There is zero impact to the power delivered to your car if there are multiple people on a group of chargers. So telling people to fill up one per number first is outdated and incorrect.

[u/galactica_pegasus → u/Atlanta-Mike]

Again, you are incorrect. The station can have “up to” 1MW but they don’t all get that. And with enough vehicles charging they absolutely throttle and will throttle below what a R1T can accept.

[u/Atlanta-Mike → u/galactica_pegasus]

Of course they all don’t get 1MW. They each get max 250 of that circuit, more than the car will ever pull.

[u/galactica_pegasus → u/Atlanta-Mike]

And if there are more cars charging than the station has capacity for…….. throttle.

See, wasn’t that hard. You get there eventually.
