ChargePoint Offering Free Cards to Volt Drivers

[Can't wait!]

How did you apply? The form doesn't include provinces.

I just picked a random State.. however, in the "City" field.. I typed: City, Province, Country, and Postal Code..

Need more in Phoenix AZ. You have 2 locations. Bink has close to 300. Just saying...

Blink shows 0 in New England, and only 17 in New York. Chargepoint shows 124 in New England, and what appears to be 144 in New York.

It seems that Blink is focusing on (read: providing incentives to) certain markets (e.g. 45% of all their chargers are in Washington state or Tennessee).

Just sayin'... :)

You guys need locations in Ohio, you only show 1 ChargePoint station in the entire state where as Blink has quite a few. I'll sign up for the free card so that when I am travelling I can use ChargePoint if I need to but please expand into Ohio as you have in "that state up North" a.k.a Michigan.

Signed up for my free chargepoint card as soon as this thread was opened. Haven't received anything yet. Has anyone else received their free card?

I got mine today. Also got my free Blink card today, too. Now I'm just waiting for my 2013 volt to be built and delivered.

Like you, I signed up early. Also like you, I have heard nothing since. Except the sound of silence.

I, too, was starting to wonder with mine, but then it showed up one day. I think it was perhaps 3-4 weeks.

We have quite a few Charge Point chargers in my area, Tampa St. Pete. Most of the ones I've used are free.

Not sure how much I'd spend to get a charge.

I think some kind of subscription fee would be best. Something like $20 to $50 per year for unlimited charging at their charging stations. That would enable them to make a profit and let those of us who make heavy use of charging have an affordable plan.

A lot of people suggest that, but if I were running the business, I likely wouldn't try that model.

If it costs ~$1.00 per hour, if you use the chargers an hour a day most weekdays, that's about $250/year of electricity you are using. If the charger is near your work, and you use it for your primary charging (e.g. not charging at home), that could be more like $500 worth of electricity you get.

At such a low price, there may be plenty of people who sign up for the occasions when they need them, which could justify the price (kind of like the old "unlimited Internet access", or unlimited phone service).
