    One of three chargers works. None are for Tesla. Charging is only allowed during store hours and is capped at 2hrs while you shop. Priced really high. If you’re a Tesla driver, the charging stalls in the Mariano’s parking garage is a better bet (and cheaper)

    It was on my way back to the car rental location. Thought I'd put a little more on the battery (at 30%). The recoil cable pulled on the plug and possibly affected the way it seated in the charging receptacle. Turned the SUV around and tried again. I didn't back all the way in because it would block the charger completely. Car recognized the connection but it would not sync with the EVgo app. Gave up. Returned the vehicle. That company does not have a mandatory % on battery (yet). Although I started with 34 and returned it at 29. (Fast charge worked elsewhere).

    MOST Whole Foods EvGo chargers are located in their parking garage which is CLOSED while the store is. The EvGO hours should reflect this and consider that snafu on their Available Chargers lists. EvGO is becoming the bane of my existence. Oh, don't worry "Lists Private and Pay Parks As Available Chargers" ChargePoint, I'm gunning for you next.

    It’s inside whole foods parking, on the left side once you enter the parking lot. One Fast charger and 2 (Level-2) chargers available. Convenient location to charge your car while grocery shopping.

    Slow charging, but it's free. Only about 11 mi/hour at 30 amps and 200 volts. Enter the Whole Foods garage off of Waveland. The chargers are in the back left of the indoor garage. No ticket needed to enter the garage.
