AI Overview

The lot is gated and charges a parking fee beyond the charging cost. Multiple drivers report that chargers frequently deliver slower speeds than advertised. Parking validation rules are complex and have changed; drivers should confirm current free parking limits before arriving. The chargers are located toward the back of the building rather than near the main entrance.

    You don't have to pay to get in here but it's not exactly clear about the rules As long as you're in and out and between Monday through Friday you're fine It's listed at a 325 kW station but all of the chargers look exactly the same and my car never went above 100 kW And I was literally the only one here five in the morning They do have a Bank of four drive-thru chargers which would be nice for people hauling stuff

    Hard not to notice they set a "20+ minute parking fee" and the charging rate is suspiciously lower than other chargers in the Houston area, so it would seem like they're intentionally limiting the charging speed so you'll have to pay Post's parking fee. Going to leave and effectively getting held hostage for six bucks for 23 minutes of charging doesn't seem right to me. Could be a coincidence, but, I will absolutely avoid this charger.

    I wish Tesla can remove this place from their navigation so others can avoid getting scammed! Instruction is hard to read and if you have free supercharging then you won’t be able to get any QR code for free parking since there is no invoice. The guy from the Help button won’t help, the lady from the support number can’t help. Total 24 min and had to pay $5.99 to be able to leave. And there is no receipt either.

    Is there a way to give this place a negative rating? But I guess it doesn't matter because this is the only Tesla supercharger in Houston downtown area. Tonight, they used the parking lot for event parking. All charging spots were occupied (most cars were not charging). I had to slide my car between two chargers to use a supercharger. After I am done, there was a huge line to get out (I guess the event just finished). I ended charging 5 minutes earlier to have enough time to get out, but waited 11 minutes in the line (one car was having problem and took 3 minutes to getting out; there is only one lane to get out). So I ended up paying $5.99 for parking. Yes, you need to pay for other people's problem in this place.

    $5.00or more just pull in and us the SuperChargers. Plus the cost of the power. So sad on Houston’s part
