Free charging at all chargers. I just plugged in and it required no payment.
Yes, it's down. Can't connect through the app. Was able to charge without logging in using the charger screen to start the charge.
Update - I just tried again and it's accepting my login so I guess it's fixed. Car is charging from the home EA charger now as well!
EA itself has had a huge outage the past day or so. For public DC fast chargers, they've actually made charging free, I believe, with no app authentication required (and apparently none available).
I was at one just now. It said charging was free but there was no way to start charging.
I thought I'd read that it was plug-and-charge right now. I have the card saved in my Apple wallet so maybe I'll go give it a try.
Yeah try that. It said it's plug and charge when I was there 10 minutes ago, but I plugged in and it just wouldn't charge.
Had the opposite happen to me yesterday, plugged in and it said charging was $0.48/kWh but never asked for payment and charged fine.
I wonder if the one I was using was simply broken in addition to being affected by the network issue. Considering how many of them are broken, that could have been it.
