Here's a dumb question from a driver who considered an EV 4 years ago but ended up with an IC.
Short of using an app or other onboard program, how does one know when seeing a charging station whether it's free or not? Or whether your particular vehicle can use it regardless of cost? Gas is gas and gas pumps are all the same, but is there some color-coding or other clear way of knowing what kind of charger one can use? Thanks.
Other than Tesla-branded chargers, there's no way to know without either an app or getting out and looking for yourself.
As for "Gas is gas and gas pumps are all the same." True, but none of them are free. :wink:
