I went into Bookmans on Ina the other day and they said they would " unlock" the charge point station if I asked.. Since I didn't need a charge I didn't try it. ( as a matter of fact I've not used any public charging yet)
Tomorrow I plan to do a 60 mile round trip from Marana to Rita Ranch and back. Hopefully I'll make it
My commute is normally 40 miles and I've been doing 80%, getting home with 3 or 4 bars depending on the heat and traffic.. so charging all the way and only going 60 should work
As for the Blink card, I got mine before I got the car.. just asked for it on line in July...
