I also went to a public charging station in one of the City of Kingston parks (a km away from my house). The Level 2 charger is manufactured by Flo (flo.ca). I had no idea how to start it. It said to put your card next to the reader, I used a credit card, it beeped and said it did not accept the card, so I googled the company. To use it I had to have a membership with the company, so I joined (free) and then put $25.00 on my account. By the way, they suggested that you get a Flo card in case your cell phone can't connect. The card costs $15.00. I opted not to get a card. When I went back to the charging station, I opened the app, selected the site I was at, then selected the coded number of the specific charger I had plugged into the car and then charging began. The rate was $1.50 per hour and the charging time was approx 2 hrs. As I was mostly just going through the process to see how it worked I wandered around the park for an hour and then disconnected the charger. I got a text that the charging was interrupted and that my account was charged $1.50 for usage. Pretty easy once you know what to do
