you probably won't be able to use your discounted membership service here as when you click on member, it gives an error and says that it's unavailable. I tried to call this in and the person who is on the phone with me wanted me to reinstall the app, but it's not just the app that was failing it was actually the widget that the app installed into the Apple wallet which acts sort of like a payment mechanism or eight passed Board of flight, but it is historically been successful at starting my charge. So here I am having prepaid for service and loaded money into the account with a bank account, such that it auto renews and I couldn't get it to even give me a trickle of charge until I plug in a credit card, which is about 25% more. Outrageous. I never have this problem with ChargePoint.

Chargers were derated, only a max charge speed of 29 kW on a "super fast" charger that was supposed to have a charge rate of up to 350 kW. Instead of taking 45 minutes to charge, it took over 2 hours to charge. I called electrify america's customer disservice line and they told me that the problem was with the car, not their charging station. Do yourself a favor, go to another charger station!

There's usually no wait for a charger but if you need to they have no place to park or establish a queue. I have never gotten even half the speed they advertise (although I have the fastest charging car made). Like many ev stations there's no place to add air to your tires, which should be a crime.

I’ve used this place a lot. It’s easy to use. If you come at non-peak hours you can usually hop on a charger pretty fast. But the speeds are ridiculously slow usually. Today my speed is 36 kW. I mean seriously they are advertising up to 350. What a racket.

There are decent amount of chargers here, to where you won’t have to wait long to charge…yet most of the other drivers are sketchy. Starting confrontations with other drivers because they don’t want to wait to charge. Will touch other people’s cars, unplug other people’s cars while they’re STILL charging. And don’t follow the queue/waiting order. It’s a mess.
