The future of EV charging?
Discussion
It would appear in a bid to get Ev up and running a number of free charging points were installed.
I understand other points levy a fee for the electricity.
Having seen petrol stations remove LPG points (presumably because demand is low and they can make more per sqm of forecourt on petrol/diesel) what is likely to happen for EV? Presumably for EV points to be worthwhile in petrol stations ( or whatever they are called going forwards) the cost of a charge will be quite significant? I appreciate the major cost of fuel is tax but presumably the government will tax EV points in a similar way in the future to protect revenue?
I understand that a fill up of £52 equates to roughly £18.50 for the petrol - I don’t know what profit there is on that but for, say, a 250 mile range are EV’s likely to be paying £18.50 for such a charge?
