First class EV charging review

The best and easiest national EV charger map of the nation that I’ve found. Kind of a charging map for dummies. It’s been a big help for me. I don’t go on many road trips and I tend to repeat trips.

Inaccuracy

The availability of the chargers and which specific ones is very inconsistent and inaccurate when looking at the app. There have been many occasions when the charging station in front of me is available but in the app it indicates not available and vice versa. Not impressed.

4chargers Level2

Convenient for level 2 at 9.7KW
Rivian R1S charged 35% to 55% in about 3 hours during dinner.

Doesn’t show price

Other apps will show you what the cost is to charge. This one doesn’t.

This is an essential feature as predatory charging stations with insanely high charging costs are being installed.

Useless app

So confusing to use

Interruptions

Interrupted to beg for reviews

Not quick, easy or clear

I drive a Chevy Bolt EUV.

Tried to use this app and a ChargePoint site for first time. I had seven minutes to pull in, download app and get plugged in before my appointment. I could not tell on the app if I was in the right place. There was insufficient labeling on the two charger plugs to determine if I was at one of the plug options being presented to me, although the photo of the plugs in the app looked like my location. Had to randomly try a few, ran out of time.

By comparison, signing up for EnergyPass was much easier, faster and intuitive. So I only tried to use ChargePoint because there was no ElectrifyAmerica or Tesla superchargers nearby.

Some weekend I may spend 30 minutes to figure out how to set up this app and use ChargePoint, as an emergency backup. But definitely will not be my first choice.

Stupidity to Require Account

Just to see basic info, like reviews and pictures. Actually caused me to not open an account. Disrespect me, won’t get my business. Simple.

Great Way to Start

If you find yourself with an electric car you’re going to need this kind of help!

Blocked by non EVs

Non EVs blocking access to the charger. No green parking bay so it’s hard for other drivers to see that it’s an EV charger.

Need additional charging stations.

I’ve tried charging my car several different times during the day and there is always a wait time to get a charger. I love the concept but concerned about having enough time.

Ótimo

Suck

Had to make an account to use it. Then it loads for ever and never let me charger and I’m not going try a second time because it’s one of the one that chargers you $50 in advance so I wasn’t going make it charger my card twice for it to just not charger.

Where’s Waldo

This app is hard to use and doesn’t tell me jack about how to use it. My trip to Mt Rushmore has been ruined

Good app - But they don’t allow you to turn off Tesla as a ‘network’ only Tesla Destination.

This app brings together info on all EV chargers nicely but … the filters allow you to turn off every network individually except Tesla. Maybe it’s that they’ve been doing this so long if you didn’t select NACS as a connector you effectively filtered out all of Tesla.

Killer feature missing

PLEASE structure the pricing field in a way: per kw, during hours and activation costs - then add SEARCH AND SORT by PRICE - THAT Will be next level!!!!

Works well doesn’t show price of Tesla superchargers

Very useful especially if you have more than 1 plugin car with different connectivity.

Muito bom o app

Ajuda bastante a localizar postos de recarga

Best Charges, Best Prices and Fast!

You guys need to have more chargers around Columbus, I bet you guys would be #1 with charging if you did.

Way to pay

None of the sites let you know what App is required.
It is impossible to find a route if you can’t charge because there is no way of knowing that you can actually get power.
