Default e-tron route planner route me to Nissan dealership

Testing out the route planner. Isn"I it that Nissan dealership charging stations for other brands are at the dealer discretion ? And some of them only accessible during business hours?

I believe the Blink network of chargers are associated in some way with Nissan via the Leaf I noticed the same here in CA

I've checked with a couple of different dealers in my area (Virginia Beach) that have chargers. Both indicated the company policy was to allow anyone to use them. I'm guessing it gets them a customer/target sitting their using the charger!

Restricted or membership chargers are so noted if you click on the charging stop in the active route listing (press the checkered flag on the right of the screen). There is definitely room for improvement in the Audi Route Planner though. It is most definitely worth my while to go 5 miles further and hit a 150 kW charger rather than a 50 kW. It seems to lump all "fast charging" together and the database of Electrify America chargers needs an update. You can enter a charger address directly, but I haven't found a way to designate the address as a charging opportunity to rebalance the route.

If you do have to charge at the Nissan dealership, bring a J1772 extension cable because they are frequenctly ICE'd. Even the Audi dealership I was at today was ICE'd.
