Credit card would be nice, but id still use the app. Being able to monitor the charge remotely is very useful. One of the chargers i used gave a QR code to remotely monitor it, so fhat was cool.

Even at 4x the cost installed its super cheap. They are charging about 70-80c per kwh, and the wholesale electricity price is ~30-50. So roughly 50% profit. My average charge cost around $30, so $15 profit per charge. That brings the payback period to around 1200 charges, which is great. To contrast it with a fuel station, you have to excavate a pit and install a giant tank. Thats going to cost significantly more.

And still cheap compared to an underground tank and bowser.
