I learned recently that the Torrance, CA Costco location now has a ChargePoint electric vehicle charging station installed.
Some years ago Costco apparently set its corporate policy to abandon a previous commitment to the EV community.
Does this appearance of updated EVSE (charging equipment) represent a company-wide change in policy for Costco, and herald EVSE upgrades at more Costco locations?
Or is this a one-off, or a trial experiment to gauge demand? Either way, it is somewhat disappointing if Costco is partnering with ChargePoint, rather than choosing to install its own corporate network of subsidized (free) charging stations for customers to use while shopping.
Still, it's a welcome move, since Costco abandoned its commitment to EV drivers years ago. At least it seems we (EV drivers) are being recognized again, and our needs considered.
