Electrify America just can't catch a break, can they?

I mean, the one and only reason they exist was because Volkswagen got caught cheating diesel emissions tests. As part of their punishment, they were required to create an ev charging network, and it seems they've been dragging their heels the whole time, trying to make it fail.

They work reasonably well, and with our ID.4 it comes with 3 years of free 30 min charging sessions with E.A. That got us from Dallas to California and back.
