## Review summary

Charge Key is praised for its convenience, background operation, and offline usability, including locating your car and nearby charging stations. However, multiple users report issues with unlocking access, unresponsive customer support, and unclear or inflated fees charged via the app. Overall, it’s convenient but reliability and transparency need improvement.

### Pros

- Convenience and ease of use; essentially a phone key that's easier to use than some alternatives.
- Background operation for instant locking/unlocking and driving.
- Works without cellular connection, improving reliability in areas with poor signal.
- Location features to locate your car and nearby charging stations.

### Cons

- Reliability issues: the app can fail to unlock or access the vehicle, sometimes leading to being stranded.
- Customer support is slow or unresponsive, making it hard to get help when problems arise.
- Pricing transparency concerns: higher-than-expected charging rates and extra fees charged via the app without upfront disclosure.
