For me, ChargePoint chargers are the easiest to use and consistently work best, but usually the most expensive.
Blink chargers are the worst. The app is clunky, slow, and the experience just never feels like they actually vetted the process. Also, it feels like they have a hard time keeping their chargers maintained.
What used to be Volta, now Shell (yeah the oil company) is a hit or miss depending on their charger actually working. Nice thing about Volta is that free is free (for now).
For actually finding working chargers, I use PlugShare.
That's interesting. Always found EVGo more reliable than Chargepoint. There's a lot of variation I'm sure regardless. Instead of Plugshare you should consider using Presto. It allows you to also start sessions within the app.
