If you stick to ElectrifyAmerica (not like the author), you’ll have a much nicer experience. They’re really the only 150/350kw decently priced network, all the competition is mostly slow 44/58kw chargers.

They still have a bit of software ironing to do though, still feels like a beta sometimes, I’ve had to move from stall to stall 3-4 times out of 40 charges.

Also, yes, obviously, if you’re in Manhattan, you’ll find less chargers. But why are you using a car there?



Are they really decently priced, though?

Price for Electrify America in Florida:

Guest and Pass Members: $0.43/kWh

Pass+ Members: $0.31/kWh + $4 monthly fee

Price for Supercharger in the same area: $0.23/kWh


In the Phoenix area, on their app, I count perhaps 6 - 7 charging stations, all far away from the city centers (such as they are, yes, I know) and another 5 - 6 coming soon. Closest one is 14 miles from me right now. I'm rooting for it but it's far from prime time. Yes I have a Tesla I charge at my apt.


EVGo is all around LA and if you have a AAA membership, you can get a 23 cents a minute rate which ain't too bad.
