Chargepoint is putting outrageous temporary hold charges on all charging stations. Probably some MBA fucking another business up.
Hi Person,
We’re writing to let you know about an important update to how payments are processed at ChargePoint stations.
As part of your use of ChargePoint services, a temporary hold charge of $50 for AC stations and $75 for DC stations will be placed on your payment method for each applicable charging session. Once the applicable charging session ends and the hold charge is removed, you will only be billed for the actual charging cost.
For more details, please see our FAQ: https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/support.
Thank you, Team ChargePoint
Europe and basically anywhere else does this too. It just makes sure you actually have the money in the account.
My problem was the hold would stay for almost 2 weeks. It's fine to hold for an hour or 2 but I'd spend $15 on gas but have $60 hold I couldn't use until it was time to go get more gas
Ah, yeah. That's an unreasonable amount of time. US banking networks are so slow compared with the rest of the world.
