The EA station in Kettleman is actually pretty great. 10 stalls. Have used it a dozen or so times when I am forced to take 5 instead of the coast between Berkeley and Santa Barbara.Bummer on Buttonwillow. Next week road trip from bay area to Sedona is going to be interesting
Thanks. Plan is to charge to 95%, drive to Kettleman, and then hope for the best around Bakersfield, before hitting BarstowThe EA station in Kettleman is actually pretty great. 10 stalls.

There is an EV connect station near the Tesla chargers in Kettleman also, in a pinch.
Lost Hills EA has been a zoo in my experience. Perhaps best avoided unless off peak.
My wife took these photos of the Spokane Valley RAN a few minutes ago... which look pretty much like the photos she took three weeks ago. It appears that they are still waiting on a few chargers (as noted by the green plywood boxes where chargers would go), but I'm guessing there is more to it than that. Don't know why it's taking so long.Anyone have an update on the Spokane charger?

Better than Idaho.. in fact I almost got arrested (not really) in Idaho for suggesting some lady shouldn't ice the chargersWashington, AZ, CA Col... but Utah is still in the Dark ages, literally. UTAH State makes charging station nearly impossible with crazy high fees. Avoid ev travel in Utah.

Idaho, still part of USA ? haha. 2 years ago I passed through Idaho Falls and stayed at a hotel next to the main Hospital.. there was a human chain around the entrance blocking Covid Vaccinations..Better than Idaho.. in fact I almost got arrested (not really) in Idaho for suggesting some lady shouldn't ice the chargers![]()
Charged in Kettleman CIty twice a couple of weeks ago...once on the way to Disneyland and then again on the way home. We used station #6 both times. On the way home (2:30 pm on a Sunday), had to wait about 3 mins. for a station to free up. Of the 10 stalls, 5 were being used by Rivian's. Kettleman City is probably the best EA station out there. Can't wait until Tesla opens their stations.....there is about 70 stalls out there.The EA station in Kettleman is actually pretty great. 10 stalls.

Are these Buttonwillow?. If that is the case.....they need to get those going. The permits were pulled in July 2021......2+ years ago.Unfortunately, no changes.
No transformer, chargers nor dispensers.
switchgear is present, but I believe it has been for quite some time.
