I just took a survey from PlugInsights, and one question in particular caught my attention. All the questions were about my charging habits and how much I would be willing to pay for public charging. This particular question asked if I would pay more for an EV purchase/lease if it came with free lifetime charging. Given the apparent failure of Ecotality/Blink and others to turn a profit on public charging, are other auto companies considering the seemingly successful Tesla business model of charging upfront for free lifetime charging? As Tesla is so far ahead of the curve on this it could it be that perhaps somebody is thinking of taking Tesla up on their offer to license the technology and use of Superchargers in future EV's? Has anybody heard any rumours about this? The combo chargers don't seem to be materializing, and Chademo isn't exactly spreading like wildfire, and Tesla seems to have the only viable plan at the moment.
I'm assuming these surveys are commissioned by industry types. Just trying to read the tea leaves.
