I’m travelling to a different state for a wedding and renting a car from Avis. I was getting a good deal on a mach e (or similar) so I made the reservation, but I can’t find any info on how I would charge the car. It was my understanding that you need an account for whatever charging station you use. Does Avis just bill you the cost at the end of the rental?
This comment sounds harsh, but I think it’s the most helpful one in this post. PlugShare is super important because many charging stations are badly maintained.
OP, if you’re not an EV owner or prospective buyer (interested in buying one, and has been doing homework), I think you’ll regret it. Don’t get me wrong, EV is fantastic: I drive Mach E as the only car in my household, and will likely buy a second Mach E if my household needs a second car in 2-3 years. But non-Tesla charging (outside home and work) in USA is not mature enough: it requires the users to have a good understanding of the system, and requires some planning and the use of the right tools.
