On the Run convenience stores in B.C. to get EV charging stations

Soon you’ll be able to EV all the way from Vancouver Island to Calgary.

Yes, they have CHAdeMO.

I like the business concept with “. . . convenience destinations where customers can shop, eat and use complimentary wi-fi while they charge their vehicles” My only problem with all this is that one requires a smart phone to access the chargers. No exceptions. We have a cell phone but it is just a phone. Cellular rates in Canada are among the highest in the world and I cannot justify the cost just to charge a car. We have an account with a competitor (FLO) and we have a card which allows us to access several charging systems in BC. We have also used chargers that accept ordinary credit cards.
 
Will the app run over WIFI from a smart phone with no service. It says WIFI is available at the charge stations.

I use an old cell phone on WIFI for several functions and save time on my current phone that has cell service.
For example:
1. Youtube while on treadmill and bicycle at gym.
2. As a radio to stream SiriusXM
3. As a timer
3. to play Solitaire (Turn WIFI off to avoid ads)

You should be able to get an older smart phone cheap. Mine is an Android Galaxy S5. I deleted all unused apps and services to make it faster and increase battery life.
