Reply to comment by Zealousideal_Lie_383 in Electricity Bill by dupattaluella

Some are changing to pay to use, but many are still free. I don't have an EV, so I don't check them. Part of the cost is also to build the charging stations.

All the "free" programs are paid for by taxes and small fees like those on your utility bills.

I wonder how many free charging stations etc need to be created before the cost comes close to the billions of tax dollars spent subsidizing the oil industry.

Right?! We need to go back to nuclear power. It would be much cheaper.

Op doesn't own an EV and has no idea what they're talking about.

The free stations are on business properties used to lure people to their businesses or as a perk for employees. They are slow charging stations that would take 4 hrs to charge completely. The electricity is paid for by the business that owns that property. Fast charging stations that charge in about an hour are all paid for by the consumer.
