ev chargers are the worst case of this imo. a lot of them only do the off-peak schedule through the vendor app, so if the cloud goes away you end up charging at peak. on some time-of-use plans that's ~$500 a year for the same car
yeah, nacs-only tesla sites don't count, which is a big chunk of the network. funny part is price isn't in the criteria at all, and non-member supercharging is around 60¢/kwh now. i track it by state here https://evchargemath.com/tesla-supercharger-cost/
