- Tap to Charge - on the app, you can hold your phone over the charging station reader symbol (note your phone must have NFC support for this option)
- Start charging from the app - you can choose the station on your phone and hit the “Start Charge” button
- Use your ChargePoint Card (it must be activated beforehand) on the card reader symbol on the station.
You can sign up to get a ChargePoint card for free online or on the app. After signing up your card will arrive in approximately 7-10 business days. Once it arrives, you can activate the card in your account (MyAccount → Manage ChargePoint Cards), and enter in the serial number displayed on the card.
When you sign up, you can input any payment info of your choice (public stations have a fee) but if it is your first charge then ChargePoint will charge you $10 to keep as a balance on your account.
The first 4 hours of charging are free; then $3 / hour. The maximum charge is $25 for 23 hours.
On average, a typical electric car with a 60kWh (kilowatt-hour) battery will take roughly 8 hours to charge from empty to full. Results will vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, so please refer to your car’s manual for specific information regarding charging.
