My personal worst experience was pulling into an ElectrifyAmerica station and finding that the only charger working was charging at about half the speed it should have been. They operate on a pay-by-the-minute scheme so it not only took longer but it also cost more!

EA chargers also put you in a price tier based on how much energy your car can _accept_, meaning we were paying the 75kWh price for 30kWh of actual acceptance.

Fortunately after talking to support for several minutes they rebooted all of the chargers and one of them charged at a more reasonable speed (but still not the full 75kWh we wanted), and they comped the charge at that machine.

They've fixed this btw sometime in 2020, they charge $0.31 per kw now.

Not near me! Pass+ members charge at $0.12/min for vehicles under 90kWh.

This is in Texas, by the way.

Kw is power. Do you mean kwh?
