They should unlock using the white button on the handle. Also worth checking Plugshare app - it will show logs of people who used them before and often has good information.

Adorable-Boat8632 2026-03-02 22:00

Thank you yes PlugShare has a location just for the chargers behind these, I tried using the buttons but didn’t work

The red tape around the cables could indicate that they aren’t online yet?

Not that you are saying they are free, but just fyi gen 3 wall connectors are capable of billing. I used some at a hotel that had a really busy SC station - I wasn’t in a hurry so I used it, and it was only $0.01 kWh less than the SC.

DeathBlade94 2026-03-03 01:08

I wish my local Costco would install EVSEs but the county that Costco is in is anti ev and strikes down nearly every permit for ev infrastructure anything . But if they are the universal wall connectors you just pull out for thr NACS and if you want j1772 there should be a button to release the cable with thr adapter.

Costco made an announcement recently that they were rolling out EV chargers to something like 100 locations. Google it I don’t remember the deets.

cGAS_STING 2026-03-03 01:50

These make so much sense. Chargepoint chargers are 6kw and $7,000. These are $400 and 11kw plus Tesla handles the billing if you install more than 4

Ok_Mousse1835 2026-03-03 02:08

Anytime I see a post with “seen these”, I just assume the person is illiterate and from the south like me

klaw318 2026-03-03 02:31

They have twelve of these at my work. The cables are all over the place and damaged. Nobody is fixing them either. Looks terrible.

Adorable-Boat8632 2026-03-03 02:32

Man that sucks some people are just trash , here at the super chargers sometimes you just see the cables on the floor

iliketoredditbaby 2026-03-03 02:33

Seen em real good I did!

mogur86 2026-03-03 02:49

Those look like the universal ones. Should just be able to pull it out and the adapter will stay in the base.

*Saw. You saw them.

This is super common in Ohio.

Powerful-Candy-745 2026-03-03 04:20

There is an indicator light that should be green on the white part of the charger. If it's not green, it doesn't work

bebefridgers 2026-03-03 04:21

I’m relieved by the amount of people correcting them.

SchlongCopter69 2026-03-03 04:51

And… here in TX and… murica.

safetydance 2026-03-03 05:01

He done seent them.

Damn pronouns

BroadKid 2026-03-03 05:55

Nice cable management…I’m sure they’ll last a while.

Kewis- 2026-03-03 06:58

I say, “I seent these”… I heard someone say that before and now it’s stuck with me.

ChuqTas 2026-03-03 10:03

I love it when they say something vague like “at CostCo” which could be any of thousands of locations worldwide.

Dell4ever 2026-03-03 10:41

EXACTLY!!

Dell4ever 2026-03-03 10:42

They're all ignorant. Lol. But, just because everybody says it doesn't make it right. 🤷

mechmind 2026-03-03 12:46

The thing is for the 48 amp charger you're not going to be able to slurip up too much power or use up too much money while you're shopping

Smartnership 2026-03-03 14:05

> It’s in a public parking figure

GrumpyCloud93 2026-03-03 14:14

Add up to 40 miles in an hour... Not a supercharger, but nothing to sneeze at. Although they could have it dialed down to less than 48 amps.

GrumpyCloud93 2026-03-03 14:15

IS this because they have the dual CCS-NACS options? Otherwise, it looks like my Tesla home charger, just lift the end of the plug a bit and the plug unhooks.

I’m amazed at the number of pedants on Reddit.

I also thought of Woodland Hills Costco.

jtucker323 2026-03-04 00:05

Why did i think that charger was a battle axe?

Ranny16 2026-03-04 00:36

It’s definitely the south because the cords are just left dangling on the ground 🙄

Based on the “I try using one” I’d give them the benefit of the doubt and just say ESL

Plug her in a see what she do.

yomomma005 2026-03-04 11:42

love the “libary”

_Puggysmalls 2026-03-04 15:55

Could also be “I have seen these…”

Floating_Bus 2026-03-04 20:10

It’s good to heat it from someone else

Texmex865 2026-03-04 20:11

In the south the heat gets us all eventually. 🤣

Floating_Bus 2026-03-04 20:12

But is it a dry heat?

GucciTokes 2026-03-05 04:56

you had me in the first half, won’t lie 😂🤣

SnotRight 2026-03-06 05:01

Telsa makes a housing that allows you to roll the cable up neatly. Lazy shits leave it on the ground ready to be fun over.
