What drivers have written

“These are j1772 chargers, as of October 2022. Not Tesla. Which is ok, everyone should probably carry an adapter to connect to either one. $3/hour is not the best price, but the charger seems fast. Required downloading a new app (to me at least) called AmpUp. An old-fashioned gasoline f150 was parked in the spot, but the cord is long enough to reach me in the next spot over. There is also a NEMA 14-50r four prong plug. That one appears to be free(!?) for hotel guests.” — Kip Austin Hinton, 3 years ago

“Edit: Returned the next day and found the Urban Chargers located 30 feet away from the Destination Chargers. It worked close to 75KW as it should. It is easy to get confused at night in the dark. End of Edit Tesla Destination charger would only charge 10 KW maximum. We had to drive to the HEB+ in Brownsville. Do not depend on this charger unless you are spending the night.” — Ray Goldenberg, 2 years ago

“Does not exist anymore! The Tesla destination chargers were replaced with JuiceBar chargers that use AmpUp to charge you. They have J1772 plugs and charge at 10kW. The current rate is $3/hour plus taxes, fees, and idle fees ($5/hour starting 30 minutes after charging finishes). Max allowed charging time is 4 hours. Then you have to go unplug and plug back in to start a new session. The NEMA 14-50 and NEMA 5-20 (120v) outlets are still there if you have your UMC on you. The two times I used the 14-50 outlets, I had to turn on the circuit breakers in the breaker panel not too far away. There are three charger plugs and three outlets of each that reach four parking spaces, although a couple of spots were usually ICE’d. I recommend bringing your J1772 adapter if you plan to use the charger, and also bringing your Mobile Connector with a 14-50 adapter if you don’t feel like going through the trouble of dealing with AmpUp and needing to reconnect after 4 hours.” — Amy Lopez, 4 years ago
