The Meijer Gaylord EA station was the third
stop on my lap around Michigan. This
stop is off of I-75 at exit 282. This is
the northernmost EA station in Michigan.
Accessibility
I-75 exit 282 onto M-32/Main St and head west. On the east side of the Meijer parking lot;
in line with the Tesla Superchargers.
Around 2 miles from the from the freeway; his site offers relatively
pain free access while road tripping.
Amenities
In addition to the Meijer at this location:
Culver’s, Cracker Barrel, Taco Bell, IHOP
There is both a Meijer gas station and
Speedway close for other car related services.
Shopping options include TJ Maxx and Kohls.
Concentration
This is a standard 4 station layout for
EA. These are arranged in the pull up to
configuration, which makes charging with Elektra’s front port location easy,
but those with fender locations need to stretch the cables to make the
connections.
Location
This site is well positioned to support the
I-75 corridor. 120 miles north of the
Bay City, MI EA location. Just 60 miles
further north in Mackinaw City, and about 60 miles west to Traverse City.
Speed
Electrify America has the fastest chargers
available today. The sites support both
350kW and 150kW stations. The sites are
well equipped to handle the current electric cars and those to come in the
future. The Signet units at this
location were manufactured in August of 2020 and should be ready to support
your needs for years to come.
Summary
According to my scoring below, this site ranks
a solid grade B. This is a functional
charging stop with limited amenities. Of
note, I believe due to week cell phone coverage, this was the only stop I was
not able to activate the charger with the app, but fortunately, a simple tap of
my phone on the charger started the charging session.
What I paid for this stop:
Total Cost: $10.52
Total kWh: 32kWh
Time: 29 minutes
Average Charge Speed: 66.2 kW (Calculated)
Cost per kWh: $0.31
