PSA, check pricing before charging. I guess I won’t make that mistake again… I mistakenly picked the first DC Fast charger near me on this road trip. Has this happened to anyone else before?

$3/kWh? That’s frickin highway robbery. Supply and demand should drive that down real fast.
No, I use superchargers.
Someone posted about a similar experience with a Blink charger, also at a dealership https://www.reddit.com/r/BoltEV/comments/17dhads/i_paid_227_a_kwh_at_blink_what_did_i_do_wrong/
Yep has happened to me before
I hate these types of posts. The most important issue would be where is this specific charger. They usually just post and run. FUD
Dealers don’t want the public using their chargers, so they set “fuck you pay me” rates on them. Always check before plugging in.
IMHO this should be illegal but the law hasn’t caught up with EV charging yet.
Nope.
Yep, in Buena Vista, Colorado. Didn’t look closely enough at the rate structure. Ended up stopping the charge after only spending $30 or so. Really annoying.
The price for the chargers on the Chargepoint network is set by the owner of the charger and not ChargePoint. It is unfortunate, but like many things, you have to check the price before you buy.
I’ve been ripped off by Chargpoint before, but not that bad. Now I double check the pricing in the app before choosing a location. Sometimes, like in my case, it was the only option. My experience was in Colorado where it seemed like every chargpoint was a different pricing grift.
For those who are doubting, here is the location.
Well, it is the only fast charger on Aquidneck Island! 🤷♂️
But this is Rhode Island; fhe entire state is only 50 x 40 miles. The next closest fast charger is 16 miles up the road in Barrington and charges $0.20/kWh.
$3 per kw? Nope, never done that.
Yeah. 12c at home. 49c at EA. $3 there. BS. I’d decline the CC fees.
Where is the charger? Were you also paying for parking at the same time? $3 per kW is crazy, like paying $35-$40 a gallon for gas.
I dropped $20 for a forgotten amount of kWh, but would have been about $5 if I drove to the other side of the parking lot, if I had bothered to check prices first.
I’ve been taken to the cleaners at gas stations (never more than 2x the average cost in the greater area), but this is many levels beyond that. Absolutely predatory or a happy, but lucrative error (for the station owner).
Yeah, I’ve had a few ‘parking garage’ chargers that are cheap as hell for the first hour, then jack up rates after that hour. It is bullshit.
