Easy to find. Hyperfast (350) available. Other local chargers (EVgo and ChargePoint) were not working so this was a lifesaver.

Charger 4 wasn't working on multiple tries. Charger 2 did work, but it took a while to send power from station to car, even though car recognized it was plugged in. It was pretty cold out, which may have affected getting started. Once it got going it worked great as no other cars were there.

The location is very good, right off the freeway, no detours at all. But there’s not much to do while waiting. The charger circled in red is NOT working, the one circled in green is slower (150) so the two spots the cars are occupying are the best spots.

This EA charging station is in a good location. Unfortunately like so many of their stations, it is poorly maintained. This weekend only 2 out of 8 chargers were functional. We used this station twice on a roundtrip between Tacoma and Coeur d'alene. Fortunately, there was no waiting here (unlike the 30-70 minute waits we experienced in Ellensburg). My recommendation is for ALL drivers to call customer service (the number is printed on the charger) and complain. It's easy and they do answer the phone. Sometimes a charger can be reset. Squeaky wheels get fixed!!!

Only 1 if the 4 machines actually works. It’s the first one when you pull in. We tried the second machine from the left first and it was charging super slow so we moved and thank goodness the first one worked. We’re on a time crunch and didn’t have time to spare. Why even have chargers if you’re not going to maintain them?
