During a drive today, I saw the bank of Mercedes branded 400kW chargers at the St Augustine Buc-ees. For anyone interested, they are apparently open to everyone using the Chargepoint app, but the price is mighty steep at $44.89 per 15 minutes when I checked at 8 pm EST. I should have taken a photo but was in a rush to my destination at the time.

FWIW:
FPL has chargers very close by and the cost is far less.
while the FPL unit is slower it is priced at .30 kwh.
FPL chargers have been very reliable for me.

The price makes sense if the point is to discourage non-Mercedes use, assuming Mercedes customers get free or discounted charging.

Yeah, I found it humorous. This morning I checked again and yep, that's the posted price.
Meanwhile, the 250kW Supercharger banks at the same spot show $0.39 per kWh. I'm not sure why Mercedes is pricing by minute and not kWh, but God help the Bolt owner who plugs in without reading the fine print. :oops:

Edit: it does appear Mercedes offers a term with free charging and I did see one plugged in yesterday.
