johnrhansen said:I think the charging business model is all wrong. It should be like the wi-fi in Starbucks. It's free for customers (or members), and only available to customers (or members). I think charging stations ought to be a marketing dream come true for the right kind of business. You plug in and are forced to spend time (and hopefully money) at that location. You invest a dollar's worth of electricity, and extract 5 times that in profit from the customer.
I think that's what _will_ happen, but there just aren't enough EVs out there right now. It would take forever to recoup the cost of a quick charger. It's getting close though. I see a lot of EVs around me in the PNW these days.
