A charger costs $14,667? Seriously? Good grief. > But PG&E´s proposal would require all EV charger hosts to charge their > customers based on prescribed time-of-use rates ... I think I see what PGE are doing, but why should they get to stipulate what the CUSTOMER pays? They should bill the energy used to the company providing the chargers, on whatever terms (time of use or otherwise) they negotiate. Then it's up to the charging provider to recover that cost from its customers -- or, if they want to, from the site hosting the charger, or by some other means. Perhaps I'm just naive, and I know it would cost more -- but I wonder if a charging provider couldn't avoid all this power company hassle by consuming no grid power at all -- rather using PV or another alternative energy source to power their charging stations.
