My first time renting an EV. Polestar 2. I didn’t care to download an app for this thing. Googled stations near me and it said 3 of the 4 were available. I got there and someone was in a Mach-E charging and using their phone. I pulled up next to him/her and they clearly saw me struggling to figure this out and they immediately decide to hide their face with a jacket or whatever and recline all the way down. I don’t care how bad their life is or what they’re going through, they weren’t raised right. I don’t blame the person. His/her parents failed in their primary job to build this person’s character.
Now onto the review of this garbage charging station, of the 4 that were here, 2 is not working which took me like 10 mins to figure out. Ironically the last one I try is the one that works. Sticking to combustion for my rental cars from now on. I’m just here for work travel and this isn’t a headache I needed at 5:30am.
