Atlanta, Wal-greens Lev 2 chargers now $2.49 per hour
They was free for the last year.
Will you still use it?

I do think there should be some cost, to keep moochers under control. But $2.50 is a bit ridiculous for 3kWH. Maybe not quite as bad for 6.6kW vehicles.

In Illinois they usually charge a flat fee through Chargepoint of $2 per hour with a 1 hour minimum. I have seen a handful of Walgreens where there are unmetered, basic L2 chargers for free, but usually it's the $2 type. I can't recall ever seeing any of them being used....

Perhaps GA doesn't allow per kWh pricing and someone decided that an hour should deliver about 5 kWh, and priced it accordingly?DaveinOlyWA said:atlleaf said:... Atlanta, Wal-greens Lev 2 chargers now $2.49 per hour
the announcement was for $.49 a Kwh
guess someone got it wrong

N952JL said:No, assuming a 2012 or 2011 Leaf one hour of charging uses about $0.30 electricity. That is a 2.19 profit while I shop at their store. No I would not plan on using it.
No, it doesn't. Companies can choose to provide free public charging to attract my business, or not.Randy said:I know that everyone loves free, but the correct way to calculate profit is NOT to take retail price for charging and subtract residential electricity prices...It's a lot more complex...If ya want public charging, it HAS to be more expensive than your home price just because of all the costs that go into it...
Very good idea here - stations could have varying pricing depending on how many stations are available. I know this has been used successfully in some metro areas with parking rates where the parking rate varies depending on how many spots are free, where the goal is to price parking at a rate where there is always some parking available.CMYK4Life said:It would be more likely this EVSE would be available because it wasnt free. A free one would always be my first and second choice but in the event those are occupied this would be a good 'plan c'. When planning a longer trip I would have some assurance that the EVSE that cost $$ would likely be available or available soon. Wich on a trip where you NEED to charge to get home would be worth the money to me.
