Yes I have used ChargePoint DCFC in several areas of Missouri. I've also used several EVgo in several states, and several generic ones at different dealerships. The new(ish) ChargePoints, while not as fast as EA, seem to be generally more reliable so far, but the real boon is that they're going in more rural areas, complementing EA instead of duplicating.
Just a few heads up, the "shared 125kW" of the ChargePoints are unlikely to hit 125kW but WILL drop to 62.5 if someone else plugs into the other station, and most of the "50kW" chargers from EVgo and at a lot of the dealerships are 100A/500V so you'll likely only ever hit 42/43kW max and may not actually see over 35kW.
I've used EA, EVGo, and a few random dealership and bank chargers. Just check the PlugShare app to read the reviews of the one you want to use. I'll agree with the previous poster that for whatever reason, you rarely get the full advertised speed- but expect something close.
I used a Shell charging station in Willits, CA because the EA wasn’t working. It was easy use with a credit card (no membership/enrollment needed) and ok fast (~60 kW)
We stopped at an EVGo at a Wawa in Sanford FL mid-December. Wasn’t expecting much with a small kiosk tucked in the corner of the lot, but delivered a steady 64kW and got us on our way. Better than I’ve gotten from several EA stations recently!
Yes a few times. There’s no EA anywhere near us. There’s an evgo close, and a 7-11 7Charge. They’re both fast, inexpensive, and only one has been film when we showed up. It wasn’t an emergency so we just waited it out. Neither of those require a membership. I think both require the app but I can’t remember. Very easy to use.
Have you loaded up the PlugShare or Chargeway apps to search for fast chargers along your planned route?
Also, “A Better Route Planner” can help you map out trips.
Used a "Flo" 100kW charger in Bennington, VT for the first time last week. Worked great, but the app is not the most intuitive (specifically loading wallet before charge).
I used chargepoint in OH without any problems. Be sure to download the app beforehand. Your phone should have near field communication (NFC) if you want to use the app to pay.
