This is major bad news for Vancouverites with a long commute and no charging at work.
$2 per hour on an L2 ?
$16 fee plus metered rate for DCFC?
You know you can make it in the summer but in the winter its going to be close to gas prices.
Just imagine having to pay this EVERY DAY!
I know I will be avoiding Vancouver like the plague (so what else is new?) but I really feel sorry for you guys.
I hope this doesn't spread
It may have already past council but never too late to voice your opinion.
On the island DCFC cost is $0.35 per kWh (plus parking fee's) which is reasonable seeing as we pay $0.10 / kWh as residential average rate.
Why don't they just do the same thing there?
If they are trying to get rid of the squatters and illegal parking at the L2 charging stations I think that rate is enough to prevent that, maybe limit the parking time to 2-3 hours max at an L2 and 1 hr max at L3 and better enforce.
