eVgo QC is $4.95 / session + $0.20 / min on the a-la-carte plan. If you pay $14.95 / month there is no session fee and QC is $0.10 / min.
I really dislike the eVgo pricing model but one should be honest about the cost. Personally, I prefer Blink's $0.59/kWh pricing.
This on top of the $450 for ChadeMo Adaptor, and the fact that this SpC should be online in a couple of months, doesn't make it worth it for me.
One problem with EVGo a-la-carte plan is it terminates after 30 minutes every time, so it will take 2-3 "sessions" to charge a Model S. Each 30 minutes session is $10.95 ($4.95. +$6), so $30 for a charge is actually not that far off.
I believe the $14.95 a month plan has an early termination fee if you stop it in less than a year, so it only makes sense if you are going to charge a lot.
Good to know. Even at $15-20, I'd rather hang around the service center for about 30-60 mins, (I have Dual Chargers), to get enough to get up to SJC.
on April 21 I'm heading to San Diego from the Bay Area and it doesn't look like the SC will be up and running. I will charge at San Juan Capistrano and then travel to San Marcos, Carlsbad, and down to Coronado. This is my first trip so I've never charged at any location other than home or a SC. So I can make it back to San Juan Capistrano where's the best place to charge, I have Blink and ChargePoint. My initial thought was to go the San Diego Service Center. Any help would be appreciated.
Will you be staying anywhere? I'd recommend finding a destination charger near where you're staying, but if you're coming back in one day, I'd definitely recommend going to the Service Center. It's in an industrial park, which is not very entertaining, but it is in a good location (imho) and having Dual Chargers means that you can get a solid 50+ miles per charge.
@NorCalSJ, Do you have dual Chargers
