3 other access cards already causing a wallet bulge - it's no wonder my posture is getting poor.
No card - there's an app for that (iOS and Android). Scans the QR code on the WattStation and links to a PayPal account (if payment is required).
I called the (VERY hard to understand/India accent) toll-free help line. (At least pertaining to Irvine spectrum and Tustin Marketplace) ... and not only must you have a card, you MUST BUY a card. $10 on Amazon. :lol:
After you buy a card, only then can you use the app. WHOOPS ... I should say AFTER the app is available. Support says the android app isn't even ready yet. Supposedly it will be ready in a few weeks. So when it is ... ... after you pay $10 and you get your card, THEN you can use the stations in Irvine and Tustin. The app is necessary to sync w/ the QR code, so that your PayPal account can get tapped.
So like I said, another bulge in the wallet if I want to use SOME of the WattStations ... and if I want to fork up $10, and then pay $2 per hour - after the app is developed and deployed.
One other funky thing. Their boiler plate on the EVSE's states that if you charge up - and you don't immediately come out to unplug - your billing will continue to rack up the $2/hour until you unplug. :lol:
