Blink Network Occupancy Fee?
« on: July 13, 2015, 06:53:25 PM »
Just got an email saying that if you stay connected to a Blink Charger for more than 15 minutes after you are done charging you will get charged 8 cents a minute.

Yes, ouch.

But it does sound like it might be an incentive for Charger Hogs to wake up. Probably not, though...

Blink Network Occupancy Fee?

Looks like they found a way to penalize EV drivers who sit too long.   But what about ICE drivers?

Also Chargepoint has been doing this for years if the station owner asks for it.

They only penalize drivers that are plugged in. An unplugged car, whether EV or ICE vehicle, won't be paying Blink anyways.

In theory an unplugged car could be towed. In practice I imagine this rarely happens.
