Tesla owners reportedly waited hours to charge their vehicles after Monday’s total solar eclipse. The long lines at charging stations are like salt in the wound of EV owners who are forced to wait as their cars charge enough to reach home — a major concern when major traffic days can cause long delays.
“(The eclipse) was spectacular, but I had to rush back because I noticed the battery on my Tesla was running low and all the charging stations at Jay Peak were taken,” Monica Livesey told WCVB.
Livesey, who is from Wakefield, Massachusetts, and drove to Vermont in an EV on Monday to see the total solar eclipse, said her return home was made worse for her family — as well as other Tesla owners — when they all had to search for charging stations in rural areas.
According to Breitbart, when they eventually found a charging station in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, they were met with long lines of electric vehicles. The Livesey family reportedly aided with organizing the lines by handing out written numbers that made electric vehicle drivers wait their turn to charge.
The Livesey family ended up waiting more than four hours to charge their Tesla. They didn’t make it back home until 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday. They noted that the last ticket they handed out was number 189 before more EVs pulled up to the charging stations as they left.
Here’s a video out of Kentucky showcasing the eclipse madness that caused numerous electric vehicles to wait for hours for a charging station:
Tesla line is about 75 cars long in Kuttawa, Kentucky and we are mearly last. Owner of the resort is desperately trying to navigate and organise everyone. We have 30 miles of range left and there’s no chargers elsewhere. Eclipse madness! pic.twitter.com/g1FORaOvc5
