I've been an EV driver for years, but most of my driving is local, so I seldom use DC fast charging. I have a standard account with Electrify America, as well as accounts with ChargePoint, Blink and EVgo ... just in case I need to go far. I asked Google what the breakeven usage is that would justify signing up for the Pass+ membership with EA and the answer surprised me, just one DC Fast Charge (~50kwH) per month is the minimum usage to make the $7/month plan worthwhile. In my case, since my Kona only has a 65 kWH battery, it is probably more like 2 charging sessions. At this time, I don't use DC fast charging frequently enough to justify the Pass+ membership. What is the minimum amount of time one needs to sign up for to get the lower rates ? Let's say I am planning longer trip in my EV during the Summer, Is it possible to sign up for Pass+ for just 3 months ?
In anticipation of longer trips, I also acquired a NACS-to-CCS1 Adapter, in case a Tesla Supercharger station is a good option. Any non-Tesla EV drivers, using the Tesla Network instead or in addition to EA ? Is Tesla Cheaper ? (Std rates for EA in my area are $0.43/kWh Off-Peak, $0.64/kWh Peak, with Pass+, the rates are 25% less).
