True, the electricty is cheap. But I hear numbers like $50K for installing an L3 station. If there were a $1/hour charge above the electricity cost, the installation would take 50,000 hours to recoup. Or, about 10 years at 5 hours of usage per day. And then there's profit to consider, maintenance, etc.

Heck, electricity is so cheap that coin-op would even work. They'd be making a killing even if it was $0.25 per KWH!

I'm waiting for the vending machines at the gas stations to also provide charging. $1.50 for a Coke, or Pepsi, or a charge. :-)
