What drivers have written

“No Tesla support seems odd considering how many Tesla are around. Returned with a CCS1-Tesla adapter, struggled for 15 minutes trying to make it work, even though I had a functional/tested ChargePoint account. Ended up charging at someone’s home after I couldn’t make either of these terminals work.” — Ben G, 3 years ago

“Rarely have to wait, as now have to pay. There has been some sort of merger or acquisition between flo and BC Hydro as far as the app is concerned. It took me around 30 minutes to get the charging station running as both apps got stuck in authorizing. Customer service phone numbers did not work, even though advertised as 24x7. You also now need to pre load app with values instead of being charged for what you use like the way it was before.” — Dylan Fowler, 4 years ago

“This charger is fast, easy to use with the app and good value. Worked flawlessly with my Polestar and provided a fast efficient top up on my drive from Vancouver to Tofino and back.” — Susanna Shankar, 3 years ago
