I have charged with them twice (and a pair of them are the nearest DC chargers to my home). 25kW DC chargers.

Interesting business model, and thankfully one that sounds sustainable, unlike the previously free lines company provided fast chargers. In short their primary goal is to secure sites for electronic billboards (pedestrian scale), and this is their primary profit driver. The provision of charging is largely to help them to secure site's. Hence the slow 25kW speed (makes the DC charger cheaper). That said, they have been reliable. And, even when the free 7kWh runs out, there fee ($0.47 /kWh at my local), is quite a bit cheaper than competing fast chargers ($0.7 - $0.85 /kWh is typical)
