> charged $60/hour to park in a spot that has an EV charger in it if your car is done charging?

Only if the station is full. Even then you won't necessarily get charged. I've gone over the grace period a couple of times, no fee. The actual grace period seems to longer than stated.

> How accurate is the "time left to charge" indicated?

When you first plug in, it's accurate to within 5 minutes. Once the charge has been going for a few minutes, it's accurate to within a minute or so.

> Can you monitor charge/est. time remaining on your phone?

Yes. The app sends a notification when you're ~5 minutes done charging. You can adjust the cutoff point from your phone, so if you want a few more minutes to eat just drag the slider to 80% instead of 70% (or whatever) to buy some extra time.
