Important: When you pull the CCS adapter out from the CCS plug, make sure you have a firm grasp of your adapter. After my second charge, there was so much friction that, when it finally came loose my adapter went flying onto the concrete. Resulted some minor scratch and dent but fortunately still functional.
Anecdotal experience from a east coast DCFC user that tried both EA and EVgo:
EA has less locations, and costs you slightly more (more on that later), but overall experience is better. Faster response, higher power charger, more charger per location, better app/interface.
EVgo has way more locations (almost 3 to 1), but usually only 2-4 ports per site, and majority of them are 50kw, prices you by the minute. If your car can handle less than 50kw, like the chevy bolt, EVgo is not price competitive for you. But this is TESLA motors club not bolt club.
Pulling 200kw from both companies' 350kw station is possible. Preheat your battery by navigating to the closest supercharger 10-15 minutes prior to arriving to the third party DCFC.
