This is new one on me - one-price, fixed-fee charging. The local installation of brand-new charging kiosks I highlighted in the remote-area charging thread are from Universal EV Charging, whose primary feature is $15 per CCS charge, no metering.

The local chargers at 215 S Poplar St, Centralia, IL, were turned on just a couple of days ago, but are not yet in their directory. They're saying "Level 3", but don't indicate capacity, advertising "charge in 15-25 minutes" for most cars. They claim "700+" current locations, but the details on their website are sketchy as to whether that count is entirely Level 3 or includes their Level 2 kiosks at hotels. I suspect the latter.
When first accessing their website there was a map of numerous installations in IL, but for some reason I can't find it again. Maybe one of you will have better luck.
My little EV is not CCS-capable, so I can't try it out for you. As mentioned, activation is smartphone app only, access through QR code scan.
