Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

It'd be easier if they stopped putting metal poles in front of all charging station parking spots so those of us with a trailer in tow could pull through easily.
INB4 disconnect the trailer nearby - can't, live animals.
INB4 protects the charging unit - no it doesn't because the unit is on the side 90% of the time (ignoring Tesla).
On my last trip with an EV towing, it probably cut our available chargers from 100+ to 5.
The ABRP app that I'm using to route plan asks me this question every time I charge, so I've become more aware of it on this trip. The Flying J/EVgo chargers are pull through and will accommodate a trailer. Maybe prefer those in whatever routing app you use?
Nice! Good to know.
I do use ABRP, unfortunately on this last trip there were no Flying Js. We did do somewhat OK in Fred Meyer or Walmart parking lots by just taking up multiple parking spaces or parking sideways. But most of the EVCS and ChargePoint places were either broken or charging at only 15-20kW due to summer heat :/
