Electrify America tests charge limits at California stations to address rising EV demand.
Electric vehicle charging company Electrify America is testing measures to limit "charger hogs" at 10 of its busiest California stations. Once a vehicle reaches 85% charge, charging automatically stops, and drivers are advised to unplug and leave or face additional 40-cent-per-minute "idle time" fees. This action aims to address the increasing demand for public fast-charging, with more charging stations needed to meet future demand from the rising number of EVs on the road.
