Sorry if this is a dumb question. I currently drive a hybrid and am looking to upgrade in the next 1- 2 years to either PHEV or full EV. In either scenario, I envision most of my charging will be done at home. However, if I go full EV, I will eventually need to charge in public.
I’ve read it varies from charging network to charging network, so I figure I’d ask EV owners what their experiences are like. I really don’t like the idea of relying on an app or monthly subscription or anything like that.
So, is a debit card more or less guaranteed to be accepted, and if so, are the rates significantly higher than some kind of membership option?
Edit: In the US if it matters.
Yeah, the 40-50 mile/day range is my current situation which is why I’m considering a PHEV. Wasn’t always the case, but still, 40-50 miles of EV range will certainly add up over time.
When I got this car, I was first looking for a
BoltVolt but no dealerships around here carried them. Not long after, GM discontinued it. Luckily, I think I read the other day they’re bringing it back, so that may be an option soon.
