I think the whole free charging thing might not be over, I took a little road trip last night and EVERY EA station that I stopped at had stations 1 & 6 set to complimentary, except two.
Pinole (Hilltop Plaza | PlugShare)
Hercules (Lucky | PlugShare)
Sacramento (Target | PlugShare)
Elk Grove (Walmart | PlugShare)
And of course:
Alameda (Target | PlugShare)
Nut Tree and Stockton didn't have free charging, and if 1 or 6 was out of order another stall would be free or if there were not 6 it would be 1 & 4 or if there were not 4 than only one of them would be free, but it seemed pretty much like free charging is still a thing.
Yet a LOT of people were plugging in (including a Lucid) at pay-for stations. Come on people look before you plug. Perhaps those ones have free charging for the first 3 years with their car's purchase so they don't care yet, but starting good habits saves you in the long run.
Due to your post, I stopped by the Tigard, OR Walmart today. Only stall #3, out of 8 stalls, showed as complimentary on the screen.
I wonder what’s going on with the 1 or 2 stalls that are free at some locations. I guess we’ll never know since we don’t even know the reason that some locations had all stalls for free for an extended amount of time…
