Chargepoint is putting outrageous temporary hold charges on all charging stations. Probably some MBA fucking another business up.

Hi Person,

We’re writing to let you know about an important update to how payments are processed at ChargePoint stations.

As part of your use of ChargePoint services, a temporary hold charge of $50 for AC stations and $75 for DC stations will be placed on your payment method for each applicable charging session. Once the applicable charging session ends and the hold charge is removed, you will only be billed for the actual charging cost.

For more details, please see our FAQ: https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/support.

Thank you, Team ChargePoint

    I hate using credit cards, so yeah this type of transaction expecting a credit card for mundane things like paying for fuel is absurd. Gas doesn’t do this. We are probably talking about a tenth of one percent of all chargepoint transactions here with the need for this update.
