My town recently installed three public Blink L2 charging stations, and it's been weird. The stations are all for pay, nominally, but they keep fiddling with the stated pricing, and it's not clear so far that they're actually charging anything. None of them showed up on the Blink app, at first -- the first-installed station now does, after a few months. (I added all three of them to PlugShare myself. It's rare that I have that opportunity.)
The first one:

You can read the saga of the pricing in the checkins and the photo captions. (All of that was before it appeared in the Blink app.) My session never did show up on my Blink account.
The second one:

Here, Michael says he used the Blink app, but this station still doesn't show in the app. So I dunno how that works... in my case, I tried my Blink card, but it seemed to ignore that (it had worked on the first station), so I tried a credit card, and was supposedly charged $0.16 for a brief test. (I'll have to check the statement later.)
The third one:

No one's checked in here yet, but note the pricing in the screen shot -- same as the original on the first station (and unlike the second).
