Sure beats relying on the Chevy Bolt site for the same info
Checking in from Alameda CA
I also just did a trip where I touched ALL 75 EA chargers in the Bay Area and Sacramento and they were all (with limited exceptions) free to charge, apparently since the 7th of Sept. Logged all visits in PlugShare.
It will be smart to have this thread for future free events at EA as they often have unadvertised events like this one that Teslas can now avail themselves of faster with the CCS adapter

I think it should stay focused on this provider. You're welcome to start ones for others.
Some providers are regional. Some aren't even for the right country (e.g. Electrify Canada free juice may not equal free EA juice). Some are always free: New Electric Vehicle Fast Chargers Now Available Along State Highways in Central California | Caltrans (and yes, I've used several listed there + Lodi Park & Ride | PlugShare).
Also keep in mind that the EA machine will not necessarily make any mention of free charging or anything.
The location I got a free charge from yesterday had a screen that appeared normal with indicators to check pricing and getting help, but started charging after plugging in with no other intervention on the machine or app. That same charger last week had something else on the screen, that I can’t remember exactly, that made mention of it undergoing some maintenance but still gave a free charge.

When we did this last night the EA charger said right on it before we plugged in "Complementary Session".
We just plugged in and it initiated and charged with no fussing about.
The repeated homonym error is driving me nuts.
Complementary with an E means it goes well with something else.
Complimentary with an I means free.
Complementary with an E means it goes well with something else.
Complimentary with an I means free.
I didn't mean that, but I just double checked if there is any difference. I had always heard that those are the exact same thing. They are very close, so I did learn something new.
homophone "each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling, for example new and knew."
homonym "each of two or more words having the same spelling or pronunciation but different meanings and origins."
So same pronunciation, like this, could be either one. But then same spelling is only the homonym one--interesting.
I like OP clear format so I will follow:

I used my new CCS adapter which had just arrived from Hanshow yesterday (yes, I know I paid more than Tesla is now charging) and it worked fine. I was talking to another Tesla owner there who had just received the CCS adapter from Tesla (ordered it Friday and arrived Monday) and his worked fine and was a free session as well.
