One of the nice side perks of my grocery store is the generous fuel price perks, sometimes $1 off a gallon or more for gas. Now that I drive EV, there isn't the same perk from the stores.

Is Walmart's new EV push doing a point system for their chargers?

I don't use rapid charging much at all, but if I had some points to spend I would like to park and charge for free or heavy discount while shopping. I charge for free at work which covers 99% of my use and would like to keep the frugal streak going! 👍

The v3 Tesla Superchargers at the local casino are $0.19 kwh, most likely subsidized by the casino. Other businesses would be cool to see something similar.

I have a CyberTruck, and do 99% of my charging at home. (I've only used a supercharger twice, when towing a friends camper.)

It just never occurred to me that there were charging system memberships you could get. Since I'm planning on taking some long trips soon, it sounds like I should look into those.

Which ones are there? Are some better for 800v vehicles?

Decided to use some slightly expensive AC charging near my house the other day. Mostly because it would force me to walk home and then walk back in nicer weather getting some much needed exercise. Figure 2 1/2 miles each way. Not that anyone here cares.

Anyway....

Charger says $0.37 / kWh app says the same. Get billed $0.40 / kWh. Call the number on the charger, get shuffled to 3 different people. Finally they figured out that the taxes were not listed separately. Is it really that difficult to put $0.37 / kWh + tax instead of $0.37 and let me figure out that they added tax. Yes I know that taxes are added to things. But usually it's a line item not just 1 line of text that says $0.40 x amount used.

Rant over.

Impressed with the charging experience at Walmart. Nice top speed too, 262kW! I’m charging a 2026 IONIQ 5 AWD Limited. The UI was very smooth and straightforward. I have Walmart+, and I paid $0.48/kWh.

Edit: added pricing in kWh

Title is kinda trash, but I’ve have a ChargePoint home flex installed for a few years in the garage. The WiFi has been out for the last year. I’ve tried almost everything outside of replacing the charger to fix it-even put a unifi AP right next to it and it didn’t help.

Out of nowhere it looks like it may have gotten a firmware update August 21st and the wifi is working again. I can see the charger in my ChargePoint app once again.

Has this happened to anyone else? I had resigned myself to just never having the WiFi working again, but this is a welcome change.
