PSA, check pricing before charging. I guess I won’t make that mistake again… I mistakenly picked the first DC Fast charger near me on this road trip. Has this happened to anyone else before?

$3/kWh? That’s frickin highway robbery. Supply and demand should drive that down real fast.
No, I use superchargers.
I’ve been ripped off by Chargpoint before, but not that bad. Now I double check the pricing in the app before choosing a location. Sometimes, like in my case, it was the only option. My experience was in Colorado where it seemed like every chargpoint was a different pricing grift.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
every gas station at the top of the mountain.
every gas station within 50 miles of the CA border can charge CA gas prices.

right next to the “no services next 25kWh” sign?
PSA, check pricing before charging
they get away with it because they can.
I dropped $20 for a forgotten amount of kWh, but would have been about $5 if I drove to the other side of the parking lot, if I had bothered to check prices first.
I’ve been taken to the cleaners at gas stations (never more than 2x the average cost in the greater area), but this is many levels beyond that. Absolutely predatory or a happy, but lucrative error (for the station owner).
Did it at least include a handjob?
I was at a hotel near Zion NP recently. ChargePoint level 2 there was .79c/kwh.
I decided to supercharge an extra ten min to avoid overpaying for convenience. Always check the pricing (unless it’s the only option)
Where is the charger? Were you also paying for parking at the same time? $3 per kW is crazy, like paying $35-$40 a gallon for gas.
Every single time I’ve gone to a fast charger its been $25 or less.
For those who are doubting, here is the location.
Well, it is the only fast charger on Aquidneck Island! 🤷♂️
But this is Rhode Island; fhe entire state is only 50 x 40 miles. The next closest fast charger is 16 miles up the road in Barrington and charges $0.20/kWh.
I’m boycotting CP. I stopped for a quick charge while running errands. I was using a slow 6kw charger and was charged $1.60. They also hit me with 3 additional charges totaling almost $1,000. I spent the week emailing and calling with no response. Thankfully I was able to prove my case to my bank and they credited my account. I laugh every time I see charge point stock drop another tick. Fuck ChargePoint
What were the fees? Do you have the plugshare link?
Might want to leave a negative review on Google for BMW of Newport. Only way they’ll think about changing the price / business model.
When im traveling I honestly don’t pay attention to the cost per kWh , but after seeing this post I will. After leaving that dealership a not so stellar review lol
But to be fair, that might be an F-You price to dissuade the unwashed masses from using a BMW charger. Do they charge their own customers?
My Nissan Leaf dealer does something similar (but not as expensive.) They have a paid charger but if you want to charge your Nissan you can just ask any salesperson and they carry an RFID card that will start the charger for free.
Dealers don’t want the public using their chargers, so they set “fuck you pay me” rates on them. Always check before plugging in.
IMHO this should be illegal but the law hasn’t caught up with EV charging yet.
Yep has happened to me before
$3 per kw? Nope, never done that.
Yeah. 12c at home. 49c at EA. $3 there. BS. I’d decline the CC fees.
