Ratings and reviews

I'm glad to see this, as I've heard good things about Octopus in the UK and Europe, but my first try with a ZEF Energy charger failed (worked w/their app). For ZEF, there needs to be a way to designate "left" and "right" charging handles (though they are bad at labeling them). The app should have a way of filtering out private chargers. The one nearest to my home is in an apartment garage that isn't generally accessible. This is best paired with PlugShare to cross-check locations

A bug that for now prevents from establishing an acount (they are working on it - beginning flaws) but otherwise this is shaping up to be a (better?) rival to chargeplug. i love that they show all chargers, not just the ones included in their network, and that they show average price right up front. Useful and will be great.

I have not used this yet, but I downloaded and have a few suggestions. When you link with tesla, if you ever do, please include a car identifier so it will exclude tesla v1 and v2 because they only work for tesla. also, u do not have a chadamo adapter, so those need to be excluded from my searching. I also have an 800 v architecture, and would like to identify the really fast first. Thus a car identity in the setup would be nice. I have another thought but am out of characters.
