First time at BC hydro site. Ended up 15 minutes on the phone. Credit card charge would not function. Representative started charge remotely. I now have user number and bought RFID card. Should be easier. Chargers need to take a Visa, just like gas station. Solid DC charge on my Aryia, on charge curve . Very helpful representative. will use bc hydro again. reasonable pricing.

Great spot but very popular. Had to to wait 20 min for a spot to open up on a Saturday weekend but at least there was a nice farmers market here to pass the time.
