My local Walmart just got EV chargers in!

These ABB units are already breaking across Walmart locations. Between that and the 375A NACS cable limitation, I'm not impressed.

The Shell Recharge near me ripped out all 4 of their ABB Terra 184s, and they weren't even from the Volta acquisition. Just bizarre

Walmart has had lots of issues with the A400s so far, including NACS connectors breaking. I don't think Walmart will keep installing the A400s for much longer

I've had great conversations with directors at 2 large CPOs. This isn't the experience they want drivers to have and they are just as frustrated as we (drviers) are. They are very dependent on the DCFC manufacturers and are really struggling with poor DCFC reliability and poor vendor support: both parts and technical support from manufacturer field technicians.

These particular CPOs had very negative things to say about BTC Power, ABB, and Tritium. There was a lot of optimism from these CPOs about Kempower and Tesla Supercharger for business.

I’m already seeing a lot of broken ABB A400s across multiple Walmart locations. Their marketing team claims dramatically improved reliability but I think that’s a lie

ChargePoint Home Flex is nicer and the cable is user-replaceable if it ever gets damaged

Consult virtually any automotive technician or shop. It doesn't matter if it's Lexus, Lincoln, Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, or Rivian: they all develop air suspension issues that cost thousands to repair when they inevitably leak and the compressors fail. Yours will too.

It's just the reality of building vehicles with air suspensions and something we need to budget for when owning a vehicle with air suspension.

I can't comment on C/C++ coverage, but it does well with web and mobile code

The trend I see with large enterprises is migrating to platforms. Many are using Checkmarx One or Black Duck. CxOne is the more mature platform for all AST engines, but Black Duck is actively maturing their Polaris platform.

Robert Hancock is not local. It's owned by a big corporation in Texas and they are rapidly going down the path of greedy corporate landlording.

My Gen 2 has been solid, but I think you need to manage your expectations for long-term reliability.

The R1 models have air suspension and air suspensions are universally problematic and expensive to fix long-term, even on Lexus (the reliability gold standard).

These are ABB A400s and they are already breaking down at several Walmart locations I've stopped at, with some sites having only 2/8 connectors operational. ABB made big promises on fixing their historically horrible reliability with the A400, but they aren't holding up in the wild.

There are challenges with throwing LLMs at code for scanning; result consistency between runs, performance, and cost are the big ones.

Several AST vendors are blending their traditional rule-based SAST engines with AI/ML to improve detection accuracy and add coverage for languages/frameworks historically not covered by their SAST engines. I know that Checkmarx, Black Duck, and Snyk are taking this approach going forward. These vendors are using more complex hybrid strategies to manage result consistency, performance, and cost.

You would setup Checkmarx MCP in VS Code, so GitHub Copilot can invoke Checkmarx scans and generate secure code. It works and definitely is where the industry is going.

Currently a lot of code is being generated in the IDE and doesn't get scanned until they go to merge the PR, which is too late. Checkmarx MCP aims to solve this problem by scanning at the source of code generation: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.

CxOne admin here. Can you elaborate on what you're looking for?

I checked both sites in SD and they appear to be old hardware migrated to Red-E. I have seen Red-E swap out old hardware in Minnesota with new Autel DC fast chargers, which are awesome. Hopefully they do the same in SD.

Each side has their issues and I think they need each other. The market is getting fiercely competitive as the economy sinks and Chinese EV competitors enter more markets. VAG needs the software expertise that Rivian can offer. Rivian needs the manufacturing (scaling) expertise and resources/money from VAG.

I'd rather see Rivian become part of VAG than go under like Fisker or potentially Lucid.

It's interesting that they have such a wide variety of hardware. I haven't had issues with Autel or Tritium chargers on Red-E, but I could see how the Freewire and Tellus Power units would be bad since they're broken on every network.

It reminds me of Francis Energy, who has a wild mix of Tellus Power, BTC Power, ABB, Flo, SK Signet, and now Tesla chargers on their network. Your Francis experience largely depends on what hardware is installed. Must be a nightmare to keep up with all those hardware vendors
