Nope. But my thinking is that it's such a good idea, that it should become part of the DC fast charging standard. They should add this standard to NACS so it can be supported by all EV manufacturers across all charging networks.

Crazy it took the manufacturers to build these sites.
On the surface it seems crazy. But honestly, the manufactures have a lot more to gain by having nice charging. It's why Tesla originally had to build out their network and provide free charging. And I think in the case of luxury manufacturers like Audi/BMW/Mercedes, (and Rivian too) it's really hurts their brand if people have a terrible charging experience. We're paying extra for our BMWs because they are "nice" and the charging experience should be commensurate!
