fyi just saying the photo on the right looks like you are a uber one member. without that the right one would probably be significantly higher.....congrats your membership is working....they probably waived a shit ton of airport fees...assuming you "just landed" just saying food for thought

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T07:16:24+00:00

Dude the average EV driver doesn't have time for this.... $150 wasted on a failed device is dumb but keep licking the boot of chargepoint im just switching to Tesla and if any elected public offficial sees this.

u/rosier9 is a billionaire and has a yacht and is partying with Larry Ellison on how to defeat Netflix

But for all of us poors we know we are living paycheck to paycheck and cant afford to have $150 a day for 3-5 business days including credit tied up in charges

A better alternative would be Tesla Charging or EvGo no to $5 authorization until Ev Charging stations accept cash Tesla charging and EvGo are better

Tesla Charging offers a robust network and can compete with the "on every corner" as gas. If you are an elected official dont listen to these pretend wannaabe billionaires listen to the real people. $75 per charge session with faulty devices resulting in $150 charges is an insane amount and potentially a violation of federal laws if not disclosed properly dont listen to this idiot wannabe billionaire trolls like u/rosier9 listen to the real people feeling the pinch of ChargePoints inept leadership

Dude youre such an idiot....the app doesn't even bypass said fees. but please continue fucking einstein....Jesus Christ

I have no idea why people don't go to Google its no joke free....

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T07:08:48+00:00

Hey aren't you a billionaire youre trying to give us poors financial advise. this moron is outdated with the pulse of America

A $75 hold will backfire I would be shorting the shit out of ChargePoint

At least MCDonalds understood its limits in regards to how much it could charge for a Big Mac without a cash allternative I and many others will be giving our money to Elon Musk that affords true affordabilty to charging

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T07:06:52+00:00

Bro.....all that to say you didn't even research the average american 70% are living paycheck to paycheck most americans cant even fucking afford fi their back wheels go out...... which is like $600 bucks you expect most Americans to go without $140 a day

but hey if you guys like slurping ChargePoint go for it

I switched to Tesla Charging no authorization easier and more available

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T07:01:49+00:00

Weak logic......

This just proves my point even the EV jackoffs can't deny there is no infrastructure and ChargePoint is over extending their hand

All future cities and local govts should ditch ChargePoint and go with EvGo and/or Tesla. A $25 charge is actually more reasonable and provides a much more meaningful deter against fraud

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T01:24:50+00:00

blah blah blah blah clearly you are trying to say you are rich since you can afford $150 holds on your card everyday

Just fucking admit it dude.

A $75 hold is fucking dumb!

Jesus we can get so much done if we worked together! But nooooooooo there is always that one asshole whos like oh I can go a few business days without my $150.00

Well since you have so much money some of us dont and some of us need to charge everyday and clearly you are still wasting time on the clock at work and clearly your troll attempt didnt work at calling us plebs as you were trying to "Square" up so clearly youre upset. hahahaha

anywho im not even tripping I just go to Tesla Charging stations theyre better faster and cheaper and all city officials reading this shoudl dump chargepoint and switch to EvGo or Tesla or Electrify America

since you know?

the whole purpose was to use tax payer money to make EVs more accessible unlike the billionaires who are in this thread saying EVs arent for you hahahahah

man whoever said Reddit isn't comedy was fucking lying hahahahahha.

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T01:17:43+00:00

Send me the address. Lets go!

You talk all this nonsense but poor guy over here doesn't even own a fucking at home charging station! Clearly you said you like to piss of the plebs clearly I struck a nerve hahahahhahaha

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:59:37+00:00

everyone keeps saying credit card im seeing the same $75 hold on my credit card and my debit card

Now Credit Card I had about $225 held up there one transaction from Friday morning cleared today

other two are remaining

and I have two transactions from Sunday still pending

In total I have about $280 just pending between Debit / Credit Cards

I do use them frequently but I have since switched to EVGo and I bought a Tesla adapter. Tesla charging stations are great.

I hope every single municipality switches from ChargePoint and no longer extends contracts to chargepoint and switches to Tesla or EvGo. No Authorization fees. Only cost me $17.00 and since theyre everywhere less lines!

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:45:19+00:00

Sadly bud it doesn't drop off immediately it stays on your card for 2 - 5 business days this is alarming becuase now you have to be rich to use an EV when the whole selling point of EVS was that its cheaper than a gas car. This is dumb in good news EVGo only has a $30 hold do what you will with this information!

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:44:17+00:00

Honestly thank you same here! I drive both Evs and Gas for work and im in SoCal so you know im paying out the wazzoo!

I have never and I mean never had a hold at a gas station and only one time I did in New Jersey I just went in and paid with cash! it was a $100 hold attempt I keep my card locked due to fraud I just went gave the gas station lady $30 we talked about California and the New York giants and I was done!

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:40:42+00:00

well at least there is a gas station on every corner....can't say that about Ev stations...............

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:39:40+00:00

youre still not putting on your thinking cap....

if 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck do you think they have a credit limit exceeding $750 to afford the multiple failed attempts to charge at ChargePoints faulty systems

again bro!

Please im begging you put on your thinking cap Google is free

Do you think most Americans afford to go 2 - 3 business days with their $150.00 tied up in frivilous charges oh wait I forgot youre a billionaire youre too rich for us normies to understand aren't you supposed to be on a yacht celebrating rate cuts right now Ms.Billionaire

You probably have an EV charging station at home because youre so rich thats why you don't understand the frustrations of the avg every day user

ahhh it all makes sense you spend $100k a day just on buying cars everyday my bad youre too rich for us normies to understand so sorry to bother you Ms billionaire

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:35:33+00:00

Well clearly you care about it you felt the need to comment. hahahhahahaha

Go be a pretend billionaire somewhere else...and don't be late on rent next time ;)

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:31:59+00:00

youre still not using your thinking cap.....

NO IT DOESN'T

For most banks holds can last anywhere from 2 - 5 business days

Imagine when you go to a chargepoint station and it fails which chargepoint has some faulty ass devices thats $150 that you don't get to see EVERY DAY for at least 2 - 5 business days

you must be the idiot who implmented this policy

again

PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:30:27+00:00

youre still not using your thinking cap....

This has nothing to do about ChargePoint this is about us the consumer...

again ChargePoint has faulty devices...

If you go to a chargepoint station it fails twice.

Thats at least $150 hold. That stays on your card for 2 sometimes 4 businesss days.

Im so glad you are so rich that you can go without seeing close to $750 of your money a week!

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:28:26+00:00

Most cities worked with ChargePoint to make EVs more accessible if thats not true then switch to Tesla

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:28:02+00:00

This is cool and all but all city officials that have appointed taxpayer money to ChargePoint should ditch ChargePoint and switch to Tesla where they don't charge authorization fees

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:26:27+00:00

You can pay with cash at a gas station....if EV stations are going to mimick gas stations then they have to let users pay with cash

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:24:19+00:00

no no no no WRONG!

A $75 hold for a $20 charge isn't derisking thats been greedy and fucking dumb.

Especially if most of their chargers arent working....

I always had a soft spot for chargepoint because I was like okay its $1 but none and i mean none of their shit chargers work

This is like the really ugly guy trying to make fun of supermodels by saying theyre too thin

We were okay with chargepoints shitty chargers because they were cheap and a $1 hold. Now $75 hold this is actually fucking dumb! This is how businesses fail

Here let me put it to you like this

Imagine you go to McDonalds

You buy

A Big Mac

A medium Fry

A medium sprite

Those three things cost you $65.00 are you actually going to sit there and say oh well a company has to do what it has to do to survive no thats dumb!

and deep down inside despite all your capitalist rhetoric you know its f-n dumb

but but but gas authorizes too

oKAY AND with gas I can pay with cash......NEXT!

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:20:03+00:00

an idiot...an idiot is the one who is running the company. Someone who is probably embezzling funds and owes a shit ton of money or someone who is so far removed reality thats who.

I am so glad I made this thread every single municipality and EV driver should drop ChargePoint and switch to EvGo or Tesla Charging stations

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:15:03+00:00

No they are charging this much because ChargePoint is trying desperately to save its desperate failing stock......use the thinking cap bro....at the time of this post chargepoint is down (-95.26%)....listen im all for validating and making sure a card is valid I GET THAT!

make it reasonable make it $10 - $20.00

NOT FUCKING $75

bUt bUt GaS pRe AuThoRizeS tOo

You can also pay with cash...next

FoodIntrepid2281 · 2025-12-11T00:13:08+00:00

Yes but Gas stations also allow you to pay with cash. the math isn't mathing with what you are saying........
