    Very good experience. Restaurant nearby. Ate dinner while charging

    Did not work despite downloading the app and deleting multiple times, would randomly disconnect whenever we finally got connected.

    It is working after a little runaround but only charging at 73kW. First the bar code took me to Shell, but the bar code on the box took me to evconnect where I set up an account. Oh well, at least I am not stranded.

    Charger was offline on app despite showing online at station. Customer service was no help. Could not charge here. Based on other reviews, this seems on brand for this station. Considering the lack of options in this town, avoid relying too heavily on this one

    At least Shell Recharge is consistent, App still does not work even after, “delete the app and reinstall”. Again, needed to call Shell Recharge to initiate charging station. Charger max out at 87 kW on a 150 kW station and only one charger in use. Rivian upper charge limit is 210 kW per their technical report. Both charges up and running despite mapping app always indicating 1/2 available. Irrespective of my whinnying, the chargers do work and it is the fastest I have found in Wilmington. Thank you Blacks Tire Service for sponsoring the station, you are a 6 out of 5 stars.
