Tips for cheap charging in Charleston
On the historic peninsula, most parking is in paid garages and metered spots. A free charger there is only cheap if you were already planning to park downtown, so compare the total cost of the stop.
Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, Daniel Island and North Charleston have more shopping centers with large lots, which is where retailers tend to put chargers. Those can be easier and cheaper than downtown.
Spring and summer bring heavy tourist traffic, and beach days at Folly Beach and Isle of Palms crowd the roads. Charge early in the morning or on weekdays when you can.
Summer heat can slow fast charging on some cars. If a station bills by the minute, a slow session costs more, so per-kWh pricing is usually safer on hot afternoons.
