Hey Everyone, I’m about to buy my first EV (2020 chevy bolt) and there is a hotel next to my apartment with a lvl 2 charger. I called and asked if Its open for the public and their response was “Technically its only for guests but as long as you don’t hog the charger I don’t see any problem with using it”. They seemed busy so I didn’t ask anything else, but for a slow charger like this, what is considered too long to charge? My plan was to just leave it there for like 4 hours once a week, but would you count that as “hogging” it? If it matters, they do have 2 charging slots, but only one is functional and they don’t know if/when the other will be fixed

On this point, does the charge point app only show public chargers? Id imagine a hotel or any establishment would be able to make a note if the charger is available to anyone or just their customers
