Went to a charge station at a nearby part that a map told me was free. It was not free. Which is, ya know fine I guess, annoying that the information was incorrect, but I don't really object to paying for electricity.

But to charge I had to get a new app with a new account and agree to a subscription.

Gas cars do not have this problem. And it is awfully silly that EVs do. Chargers that are at least as easy to use as gas pumps should 100% be a thing, but for some reason are not.

Who needs faster EV charging at home? Drivers share their experiences
Many EV owners can charge their car at home with a power outlet they already have, cutting costs. The downside? It's slow and doesn't meet everyone's needs. But who needs faster, more expensive Level 2 charging? We heard from Canadian EV drivers who shared their experiences.

@the_dp I will certainly be getting the NACS->CCS adaptor for my car when they make them available for Supercharger access.

I will NEVER use it at a Supercharger.

The newer Ionna network looks to be rolling out 10 car stations, with 4 of them being NACS cables. Having the choice of spot will be useful more often in the next 5 years.
