- Blink This charging network has several stations located in about 25 states. Blink operates primarily with a ‘pay as you go’ cost option. Drivers are charged for the precise amount of power used during a charging session and not the total number of hours the car is plugged in. This is called a kilowatt per hour pricing. The cost is generally $0.39 to $0.79 kw/h. The states that permit this cost method include Utah, Virginia, Minnesota, Hawaii, Illinois, California, and so on. Blinks offer a level 2 EV.
- ChargePoint ChargePoint is the most widely distributed charging station. It has over 6,000 sites and can be found in about 43 states in the U.S. Several ChargePoint stations are free but in some stations prices per charge are determined by the property owner. The driver would be given a ChargePoint card to access the network at any time.
