This channel is an awesome resource for people who are looking for EV charging stations. The IONNA rechargery hasn’t been open two weeks yet and is already on the channel! 👍🏻
It is a crisp build, for sure. I think an underrated aspect is the adjoining skate park. Those are pretty rare and it is a good one. Other site design was obviously professionally done. Fun and effective. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching.
I'm watching a lot of these reviews. I ❤that u use the Chargeway color code and number code. I love the Chargeway app. I travel in Carolinas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
This place is awesome , especially having a Tesla and pretty sure the closest Tesla charger is in Cary, but this is sure to make traffic brutal there. Also adding this super modern building next to the historic downtown definitely docks some points
Nice to know that Ionna has a decent set up in Apex. Just to note, since tesla is not part of this operation it is not a tesla plug that Ionna is using - Officially it is using the J3400 standard - The Ionna site will not be able to charge any tesla vehicle made before 2021 and some 2022's since since they lack the hardware to communicate with J3400 even though the plug fits, with out a hardware retrofit on the charge port controller. NACS is just a common name used and it does not have any official meaning. I plan to visit the Apex site in three weeks while traveling to NC. I plan to bring my Silverado down to a low SOC and observe its performance. It should be interesting.
Good video. One correction: this site has a 2500 KVA fully dedicated to it and has 12 ports in all. All chagers/stalls are fully dedicated with 400kW per charger/stall. It just happens to be balanced so that if one EV requires/asks for 250kW and the other 150kW, they'll both get full power. Only on very rare instances when 2 EV's plug in at the same time on the same charger/stall and each with very low SoC and fully preconditioned so that each can take over 250kW or over 300kW at the time, will you experience a limitation of 200kW each. Balancing happens on every charging site, even Supercharger sites where they're "site balanced." So you're not going to get full power on the very rare instance when 12 EV's with low SoC all plug in at the same time on a 12 stall site. That almost never happens.
This site only has 10 plugs, not 12. There is room for expansion. I double checked to confirm. As for everything else you said, yup! I try to keep these videos simple and for new EV drivers. The only vehicles that would see “major” decrease in charge rate on low SOC would be Lucid, Hummer, New Taycan, Cybertruck, Silverado, and Sierra Denali. EGMP would have such a minimal impact. Like you said eventually it wouldn’t matter as they ramp down! Thanks for your comment!
@EVChargingSiteReviews Correct. I typed too quickly. It has 10 ports, not 12. But even keeping it simple, new EV drivers would get the idea that this site has limited power when it has more power than just about any other site out there. Even when you see four 350kW chargers at an EA site, 2 of them share power. It might be that #1 shares with 2 and 3 with 4, or 1 with 3 and 2 with 4, etc. that are sharing, but they are sharing. They are NOT dedicated with the full 350kW each. If you happen to plug in 2 high charging, 800V EV's with low SoC on the 2 that are shared, you're not going to get full power.

Thanks! I appreciate it! The guys at Chargeway are great!

This is about as close to the gold standard as you get. My guess is that the Garner, NC will get full scores since it'll be 100% pull-thru
Garner should do well!
