I had no issues getting the app, creating an account, and paying. Took me less than 5 minutes to start charging. I paid $0.47 per kWh. The support both CCS and NACS. From what it seems, each charger can be occupied by one car, so I'm not sure if the NACS cable could be used at the same time as I was charging while using the CCS. Does anyone know?

In the UK, fast chargers are regularly over £0.80 a kWh. It means that journeys beyond your range actually cost more than gas (even when gas is really expensive too).

and yet regulators are willing to give datacenters a discount?? Sounds like it's beyond time for some change of stewardship around the world...
