Public charging is already more expensive than gas in my region. When I charge at home, it's at about $.12/kwh (~$.03/mile). With the gas engine running, I get >50mpg @ ~$3/gallon (~$.06/mi).

The last time I charged at ChargePoint, it cost me $2.86 for 1.25kWh ($2.28/kWh or ~$.57/mi), almost 10x my current per-mile cost for gas.

Needless to say, I haven't been back to a ChargePoint station since my free credit expired.

Hello Mike! ChargePoint stations are owned and maintained by the hosts and the business owners set the pricing for their stations. The best way to find stations with rates you prefer is to search with the ChargePoint mobile app which provides pricing estimates for each station. You can also filter your search for free stations and never pay to charge!
