Costco has their own DCFC network now?


Charged my EV6 at 140kw sustained. Cost was 0.37/kwh. Interestingly, it didn’t require any member verification to use. Just tapped my non-costco card and off it went. Wellen Park, FL.

    They certainly have large enough roofs on those warehouses for a crap ton of solar panels if they wished, in addition to grid tie in.

    Looks like a Freewire unit. Are they still in business?

    Im sure it depends on yhe costco. That Kia looks sharp!

    I bet most people spend at least 30 minutes every time they go there anyways. Makes perfect sense.

    It makes tons of sense given their fuel strategy. I think ultimately it shall be members-only and like $0.2 / kWh.

    It’s a freewire unit. It will eventually break and never be fixed. 💯

    The possibility of charging on road trips at Costco and running in for a $1.50 hot dog and soda!

    In the time traveling documentary, *Idiocracy*, Costco has everything.

    They sell you 200kw package and you throw the rest away after it’s unusable

    I’m guessing they are testing things out in select markets for now until they can get the implementation costs down far enough. Nacs is the other thing, they probably would only want to deploy a single connector to make it “easy” for customers.

    Idk about a network, but they definitely have the means of buying chargers and branding them for use at Costco locations.

    How can I configure filters in PlugShare to find where Costco has these chargers?

    I have a 2022 Ford PHEV. Is this charging station only for Tesla or can I use. Ford uses a J1772 connector.
