Absolutely ridiculous, ChargePoint just moved to the top of my list of chargers to avoid

so, 50 cents to $1 increase per connect. Why don't they just raise rates by a penny and no one would ever care/notice.

IDK how rates compare in other areas of the US, but in the PNW...all of the networks are already vastly overcharging for the electricity provided.
As far as I'm concerned, they can take whatever "service" fees they need out of that massive profit margin, before adding even more costs to their shitty services.

It's bad enough that I'm already being charged 5x the cost of electrons, without adding another $1 to every plug in. Especially since we all know the stations won't see any maintenance, much less improvements, from this money.

We have 2 DCFC in town ...one ChargePoint at 40 cents/kWh (peak power 120kW) another by Francis Electric at 66cents/kWh (though its peak is 350kW). So people not in a hurry tend to use the CP and with $1 plug in charge ...it is still way cheaper than the competition.
