[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which of these have CHAdeMO? Is there CHAdeMO infrastructure in place yet to rival Tesla’s supercharger network?[/quote]

If you count all the different companies with chargers that use CHAdeMO it's probably comparable or at least close to Tesla, but to be able to use all of them you're going to be paying several different subscription fees every month.  Plus many of the companies are so outrageously expensive as to completely negate the cost savings of having an EV.  Electrify America, for instance, charges 70 cents a minute to use a 150KW charger.  I can't speak about any other cars but my Model 3, but when using a 150KW charger, a mostly full charge (like 5%-90%) takes about 45 minutes, so a "fill up" at an Electrify America station in a car with a similar charging rate would cost you $31.50.  At a Tesla Supercharger it would cost you about $15.   [/quote]

Please explain how these on-the-go charging works for us? 
For example: If I have a Tesla, I can charge it at ..... for free/for a fix fee/per kWh. If I have a non-Tesla, I can charge it at .....for free/for a fix fee/per kWh.

Do I need an app or a member ship card at any of these charging stations?

Also, are there any free charging stations, like at the mall?

Thanks[/quote]

For Teslas, you mostly use their fantastic and numerous Superchargers. You'll probably receive a certain amount of miles for free when you buy your car, (I got 5000), and then after that you pay, but it's inexpensive...normally around $10 to "fill up".
You can also use almost all the commercial places, EvGo, EA, etc., but that's more expensive and slower. 
For a non Tesla, you can only use the commercial places. You need to sign up to use them, and they have cards or apps to play with. 
There are some free places around, but they tend to be much slower, and hard to find.
