My work installed a bunch of ChargePoint charging stations. They are rarely in use, so I gave them a try. I discovered that they charge $6 per hour for being at the station for more than 4 hours. After my first full work-day, I returned to see a charge of about $25. I thought I'd be in the clear since my car would stop charging after a few hours, but learned the hard way that the extra fee doesn't depend on whether or not you're charging. I should have realized that. Still, it felt underhanded to have the price jump so sharply without some kind of idiot-proof reminder or warning (especially given all the other notifications they send). I could just resolve to park for a few hours at a time, but prefer to avoid the hassle of monitoring my time mid-workday. Closed my account and will avoid them (joining the other e-cars I see parked near but not at the stations). I can get along without them, and this way I don't have to worry about any other costs that I should have realized.
I'm curious, is this price structure typical for ChargePoint?
