A review from my road trip to visit all the EVgo
sites in Michigan
Business/Location Name | Dunkin' Plymouth |
Address | 39600 Ann Arbor Rd E, Plymouth, MI |
Network | EVgo |
Station Details | 1 Station (50kW) |
Cost | $0.35 per minute |
The Dunkin’ Plymouth EVgo station was the 8th and final stop on my lap around Michigan (only available in metro Detroit)
The Dunkin’ at a BP gas station
at this address is 0.2 miles east of I-275 at exit 28. On the north side of Ann Arbor Rd, the EVSE
is directly ahead when pulling into the main entrance, almost impossible to
miss.
Amenities
Dining options include: Dunkin’, Los Tres
Amigos, Tubby’s Sub Shop
Shopping options include: There are no
walkable shops
Car-related services (windshield cleaning, air): BP gas station at this location
Concentration
This is the standard single station layout for
EVgo. This
station is the pull up to configuration, which makes charging with
Elektra’s front port location easy, but those with fender locations may need to
stretch the cables to make the connections.
Location
Along the I-275 corridor, this would be one of
the few sites that supports longer distance trips. The gas station location allows for easy
on/off the highway. This currently the
southernmost charge site on the I-275 corridor, so if you are headed south from
the northwest suburbs, there is no high-speed charging options until you are
halfway through Ohio. Hopefully this
will improve in the future.
Speed
EVgo is offering
the some of the slowest DC fast chargers in this market. These units can output 50kW, but for most
vehicles will charge much slower than that.
While these sites would have been acceptable when first installed 6
years ago, they are not up to the standards of what is available today.
Summary
This seems to be a well maintained and
reasonably used location. While there is
not much around to keep one occupied while charging, this site can also work as
a neighborhood charging location serving anyone who lives close to this
exit. I only stayed just long enough to take my
pictures and notes. Finishing my visit
to all the local EVgo sites, I hope to not need to visit them anytime
soon.
What I paid for this stop:
Total Cost: $2.23
Total kWh: 4.050 kWh
Time: 7 minutes
Average Charge Speed: 34.7kW (calculated)
Cost per kWh: $0.35 per minute ($0.55 per kWh)
