I don't check-in here often, and I missed this news. That wasn't too bad for me, because NYSE:CLII price isn't climbing yet, so I didn't miss out.

Yep, right here, I'm raising my hand! I bought a hundred of 'Climate Change Crisis Real Impact I Acquisition Corporation' @ $19,19.

matson said:I have buyer's remorse, I regret buying EVgo (NYSE:CLII). Because now: 'EVgo prohibits the use of all home-built electric vehicles, home-built onboard chargers, and vehicles that contain personally modified chargers (“Unauthorized Vehicles and Chargers”).'. (EVgo Terms Of Service as of 2021 March)
I admire those capable, determined, pioneers who make their own non-polluting vehicles. They are heroes. I am upset, my feelings are hurt, because EVgo has banned the most passionate of their potential customer audience. I opine, EVgo is being unfair. I no longer like em.
Discussions elsewhere:
Chevy Bolt EV Forum : EVgo changes terms of service
DIY Electric Car Forums : EVgo bans DIY EVs and modified EVs from their chargers.

As if to retaliate/spite EVgo, I bought ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT). Both of these picks might be total wastes of money, so I'm not going to add to them. Lucid (CCIV), I was lucky to have heard about it early enough, I bought a hundred shares @ $18; I hope you're not down in it. My favourite long-term stock, what I hope and wish and believe in, is Nouveau Monde Graphite, OTC:NMGRF.

DaveinOlyWA said:Heard about the DIY restriction but have not delved into it yet (got about 100 things already on the agenda) but how with EVgo determine a DIY vehicle is plugging in?
cwerdna said:From Plugshare's activity feed, someone submitted a bunch of new pics of various Bay Area stations with the CHAdeMO adapter attached to the side, thus adding Tesla connectors. It's possible they were added by EVgo.
Examples:
https://www.plugshare.com/location/95993
https://www.plugshare.com/location/109423 - I've used these in the past 6 months or so when they were part of DrivetheARC. They definitely didn't have the CHAdeMO adapters bolted to side back then.

https://www.evgo.com/tesla-san-francisco includes numerous locations outside the city of SF now. And, there's https://www.evgo.com/tesla-los-angeles.
DougWantsALeaf said:When EA realizes they have to run an actual business model, they will follow suit with EVGo. Too many Teslas out there to ignore. Even though chademo adapters are few, I see them used frequently at DC stations. Especially where EA, EVgo, or Greenlots owns the highway rest station location. Convienence of location will trump a small cost difference in most cases.
DougWantsALeaf said:Yes, that was my point. Pretty sure the existing model loses money, and not small amounts.
Phillips 66 recently celebrated out amd said they can not yet justify rolling out DC stations at their gas stations because charging frequency wouldn't be high enough.
What states? I checked https://www.evgo.com/pricing/ for a few states in the NE and found they had 60 minute session limits.GetOffYourGas said:Weird. In the northeast, EVgo still has their obscenely expensive rates. They charge by minute, but even charging at their max rate you are paying 50-60 cents/kWh. And sessions are limited to 45 minutes except during the night.
