That's surprising, even when I've used EA chargers that were derated to ~50kW it's never taken me more than 30 minutes to charge. Usually more like 15 minutes. Fwiw I've found that the app is pretty reliable at saying when individual chargers at a station are down (although the status can be a bit misleading when there's cars waiting to charge)
I'm surprised there are 3 Electrify America chargers but no Tesla Superchargers. Then again, a 300-400 mile Tesla can do the trip in one go (charge at your family's place).

There are Tesla chargers, but those don't help with my non-Tesla vehicle (at least when I was looking to purchase).
We considered a Tesla, but it became a pain to even acquire one. Purchase would involve driving to another state.
They're all Electrify America, which are pretty unreliable. I'd have to stop at each and every one of them to ensure I could actually make the four hour drive. Unbelievably annoying.
