Pros
- Chargepoint, this way is integrated into the same app with the huge charging network. I also like the way the app includes the power plan and gives me an accurate cost for my home charging. Another plus for Chargepoint is that their cabl...
- Contact Chargepoint. They will refer you to contractors who install their chargers. They were super knowledgeable about local issues and incentives.

- Chargepoint is often used in work environments and has good rules. You can add yourself to a wait-list if all chargers are full, you can have a different policy if there is a wait-list, you can do time of day limits, you can do a punitiv...
Cons
- There’s no need to replace with the same brand, so check the prices for Autel, ChargePoint, DeWalt, Emporia, Flo, and WallBox, and go with whatever is least-expensive.
- Any of those other companies you listed have huge annual fees and service plans, as well as not being profitable.

- charge point is good but often just L2 destination chargers.

Chargepoint, this way is integrated into the same app with the huge charging network. I also like the way the app includes the power plan and gives me an accurate cost for my home charging. Another plus for Chargepoint is that their cable is one of the most bendable which is important is you live in a cold region.

Chargepoint is often used in work environments and has good rules. You can add yourself to a wait-list if all chargers are full, you can have a different policy if there is a wait-list, you can do time of day limits, you can do a punitive charge for an overstay.
