    Hello, I bought 2017 Prius Prime and I activated my $100 ChargePoint card. Can I use this at a blink station yet?

    No. It'll only work at ChargePoint locations only. Download their app and you can see their locations around you.

    Blink is expensive, you might as well just buy gas and it'll be full in 5 minutes. LOL

    I got one of the last 2017 Prius Primes on the lot and I didn't get the envelope either. I didn't find out about the credit until I saw this thread!
    I called ChargePoint (awesome customer service) and gave them my VIN and they set me up with the $100 credit. I had already downloaded the app and used it several times. I will definitely keep using it!

    I just picked up my 2018 Prius Prime Advanced this past Monday. I was given no such card. Are the dealers supposed to give us such a card? (California)

    I was not aware that they discontinued that in 2018. Oh well, not a huge loss...

    I’m a new owner of Prius Prime—-just 4 days! Was wondering if this is available in Canada? I lived in Burnaby, British Columbia. I am just frustrated or surprised? That my dealer tells me nothing about how to use those chargers out in the city other than charging at my own home! And I would be much appreciated if they at least give me a print out information about various charging providers. Of course, a complimentary charge card with 100days, $100, would greatly helps!

    my salesman told me that there’s a lock system of my new 2018 Toyota Prius prime , but when I checked and refer to the manual, the manual lock is absent, still has to figure out a digital lock from the steering wheel button!

    And yes, I heard people steal them and sell it on eBay for $100:(

    No. It's only available in the US.

    Yeah finding a salesperson that is willing to spend the time to go over important aspects of the car is rare. I'm lucky that I did have one when I picked up my Gen 3.

    There are various charging station companies (just like gas companies). Most require a username and a credit card (but they are free to use at the moment or you pay for parking but electricity is free etc).

    Canadian chargers are...

    • Flo
    • Chargepoint
    • EVConnect
    • GE Wattstation
    • Sun Country
    • Circuit électrique (obviously you can guess where those stations are)

    As far as I know, Sun Country and GE Wattstation do not requre an RFID card or an app to dispense the charger.

    Also, there are places where they just installed a charger like you would at home, so for those, obviously you won't need an RFID card or an app.

    The best place to find out what types of chargers are available in your area is to check plugshare.com (I believe there's an app as well). That's your best bet.

    (e.g. looking at Metrotown, they use Flo chargers.)

    Is this offer no longer valid? I just purchased a 2020 Prius Prime XLE, entered the vin on the chargepoint website and got "enter a valid promo code" as the response.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry, it was only available to those who purchased a 2017 Prime when it was initially launched.
