The only possible answer is ymmv

I guess I was vague in my question, but you bring up an interesting point. I was looking for the best price but I got a lot more info that I can sort out ....thanks!
BrockWI said:I hoped charging locations would move to sort like of what gas stations have now. A big sign and what the cost per kWh is. It would only make since if they switched to that but I am sure some like a connect fee, idle fee, rate of charge fee or just a flat fee, and some you have to have an account or be a member all of which is weird when your really just purchasing the kWh's.
Do we have to pay a dollar fee to park in front of a gas station pump or pay for how long you are in front of that gas pump or for how fast the gasoline is dispensed?
I know I am just dreaming, but it would be a LOT less confusing for regular folks if it was obvious and you could just pay with you cc like a gas pump. Sure have a discount of you want to join or some deal again similar to gas stations , but.....
Getting back to the question though, I think it depends on what you have near where you are, I don't think you can say for example Chargepoint is always the cheapest, heck they vary rates and fees across town for us.
