I've been using ChargePoint for my Chevy Volt for the past 4 years at the Kent Central Parking garage in Ohio without any issues. You have to pay $5 to get the activation card for your key-ring, but it's definitely more convenient than using the app on my phone. I did have one event around March 30 this year when flames shot out behind the charge plug on my Volt (or as Bob Rice would say, "A short circus"). The Chevy dealer had my car for almost 2 months and I had to go back and forth with GM about who was going to pay for the replacement. The charge plug was replaced about 2 years ago for a recall because cracks on the plastic around the connector pins on the charge port would get water in the crack and freeze. I believe they screwed something up on the recall installation and I ended up having a short circuit as a result.GM ultimately paid for the repair. I informed ChargePoint about event and they never responded. I've been using the same charger since May without any issues. On Monday, November 16, 2020, 02:12:53 PM EST, Peter C.

First off, I'm biased - I work for ChargePoint. So what I can say is, that before my current position, I worked for Qualcomm in San Diego. There were a TON of Blink chargers, and they were very rarely working. We used to joke about them "being on the blink, again". I'd dig around some more and see what you can find.
