Like many, I am disappointed that so many EV manufacturers are walking away from their past investments but I ran into an example last week at this GM fast DC charger.
I found it via PlugShare only 18 miles from my destination. A quick, ‘are you working’ charge and then to Steele MO and back. Although I have an EVgo account, I just used my Visa card and a long charge to reach Jackson TN.
The next day, Friday morning, I saw two $55 ‘pending’ charges. This is a common practice to make sure you can afford to pay for the charge. So I tried the billing phone number to see about an invoice with the kWh but they were useless unless I wanted to buy a GM charger.
Today, the ‘pending’ $55 chargers were replaced with more reasonable numbers but still no invoice showing the kWh and rate. I have low expectations for the future of this fast DC charging station.
