How does Plug & Charge work after two years?
When free charging expires in two years what rate will be charged when using Plug & Charge? Will it be the EA member rate or the higher guest rate?

Once the two years is up I believe we start over with EA. From reading different sites I believe you will pay a higher set price per KWh as a non member but if you sign up as a member and pay a small monthly fee you will then pay a slightly reduced price per KWh. If you charge mostly at home and infrequently on the road being a non member makes sense. If you charge a lot on the road being a member will save you more money. Someone correct me if I am not correct on this topic.

I forgot about the MB/ChargePoint partnership to install a network of chargers in the US over the next couple of years. That means that ChargePoint will likely support Plug & Charge and it will probably be billed through MB. I hope they do the same with EA. It would be nice if MB could negotiate the member rate when charging at EA.
