Tesla charges by charging speed

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

So in general would it be fair to say charging at a supercharger will be higher than ea or charge point?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Different sites have different rates. Plus, there's also what the rates are with or without membership. Even if more expensive, what you tend to get in return with Supercharger is availability of chargers (typically 10+ chargers per site) and reliable charging experience (typically grade A).

Supercharger membership, for now, is still $12.99 pre tax (wherever applicable). Rough math shows if you charge there for at least 100-150 kWh within each 30-day billing cycle, you break even on that membership fee. After which point, it's roughly a 20% discount each session (over no membership, i.e. plug-and-charge).

I don’t like the way they charged, it was more of me testing to make sure I could make it work. Tesla will probably be a last resort and if I am on a trip I will probably join for the month.

You need to understand how PUC works in many states. They can't sell by the KWH unless the charger is certified by the State Department of Weights and Measures to be accurate. Some states ban the reselling of electricity. Some states won't certify EV chargers or make it virtually impossible. The premise is that with uncertified dispensing people get cheated as in, I got charged for a gallon of gas but only got .95 gallons. It gets much more complicated than that so easiest is to simply charge by the minute making no guarantees as to how much was delivered. You either like sitting there for a while or you don't.
