Fast charging for a fee
I stopped at a different station the next day to try fee-based fast charging using another network. This charging session delivered 11.1 kWh in 21 minutes, costing $6.63. The range added was 23 miles. The location was convenient. A coffee shop, pizza, fast food, ice cream, and a book store were available with a short walk through a parking lot.

That’s about 30 cents per mile! Ouch!
My 2015 Honda Fit typically gets over 40 mpg. Gas runs about $5.25/gallon where I live.
The EV in this story is the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV – which is basically an EV clone of the Honda Fit – exact same dimensions and cargo capacity.
