I had no issues getting the app, creating an account, and paying. Took me less than 5 minutes to start charging. I paid $0.47 per kWh. The support both CCS and NACS. From what it seems, each charger can be occupied by one car, so I'm not sure if the NACS cable could be used at the same time as I was charging while using the CCS. Does anyone know?

Sincere question: why would you need to charge at a walmart or other retail charger — do you by any chance live in an apartment complex? Not a slight, just trying to figure out if apartment people are finally adopting electric vehicles. Chargers at places like these could help with that kind of adoption.

Yes, apartment, street parking in Chicago. I've had my 2023 Bolt for almost 2 years now.
