Then whenever possible stay away from fucking uggghh Chargepoint. Flo is a Canadian network, and in BC, the Hydro chargers are pretty reliable. Though in an older Leaf you may have to take what you can get.

I hate this network charging bullshit. It’s like “tell us who you are and where you live or no gasoline”—can you imagine how that would go over— why do we put up with it? Grateful I can charge at home.

I'm still confused why all public chargers don't have a card pad on them, just like every self-serve gas pump has had for decades.

You shouldn't need a bunch of stupid apps and accounts to charge when you travel.

Flo is great in my area. Most of the time I use their chargers, but honestly, I'll use whatever is around. I also have a Leaf and don't always have the luxury of driving more to find a preferred charger.

The free L2 chargers are always nice, though.

Your car still has maintenance items.

Oh and btw it does have oil for the reduction gearbox.

Nice snarky comment, though.
