I have used this twice and have had no problems but it is a lot of juice to be put into my goose and I have red threads where trucks have sparked and wouldn't release the plug.
There is a lady up at the local MVD that has a little Fiat electric and apparently it's batteries cease to exist around anything that is a high KW charger. They are not cooled. That's the way I understand it.
My question is does anybody ever worry whenever they plug into one of them 3,500 babies and see the sun slightly dim a little bit, that the battery in their truck might just blow up or something? That is a lot of juice to be put into the moose or as mine nickname is sarge who needs a charge. it rhymes very well lol

I understand there is a serious question in this, but I'm like, damn, where do I find these 3500 kw chargers! Can't imagine how quick I'd fill er up!

At Wally world of course. Where else can you get service like that it is in the electrify America Network. The first time I used it it created a fault and shut down but it gave me plenty of charge and I had lowered the tailgate of my truck I don't know whether that triggered it or not but it gave me plenty of charge to make it home to Willcox

I’ve used it a couple times as well. My SR limited it to like 130kw so you won’t actually get the full350 going to the truck.

it doesn’t worry me at all if it’s every now and then. The DC chargers in general will wear out your battery faster but they’re great on road trips.

I’ve used several Electrify America/Canada 350kwh machines and they are awesome. Upon plugging in, I’ll pull in the 140kwh range for a few minutes before settling around 130kwh. I’ve had other EV owners stick around after charging their car/SUV to watch my Lightning charge to see how much it takes in. Most EV cars which have small batteries and can only pull 50-70kwh so they’re amazed to see 130kwh.
I recently made a 400km (250miles) round trip that I started with a 100% charge and only required a 15min top up of 20%. Love it!
Definitely need more 350kwh chargers!!
