So when I bought my Leaf last weekend, the sales guy gave me this "No Charge to Charge" card that apparently gives free/discount charging for some period of time (I think it's 2 years?). It said I have to activate the card before using, so I went to their web site and activated it. Then it told me that I should join the networks I want to use. A quick scan of PlugShare showed me that most of the sites in my area were eVgo, so I registered with them first. It asked for a credit card, for what I supposed were any overage charges.
However, I then got a confirmation email from eVgo saying:
"You have preauthorized NRG eVgo to charge your credit card or bank account ranging from $0 - $125 on a recurring monthly basis on or around the day of the month on which you commenced service."
Is this something I should be concerned about? IOW, is there some undisclosed usage fee associated with the service? I didn't see anything about that when signing up, but I'm sure I accepted some T&Cs with miles and miles of fine print that might've contained something. I did a search here and saw the $450 bill from eVgo thread, so I am a little alarmed at this.
This also concerns me because while I'd like to have access to ChargePoint and Blink, if they're all going to hit me for a monthly fee, my economical EV suddenly becomes less so.
