- DC fast chargers: average rebate; unit cost; total project cost per charger: link here.
Comment:
- up-front costs might seem like a barrier
- but, at 15-minute charge, amortized over 365 days, 24 hours/day = dirt-cheap;
- 25 cents / charge for the unit (this is just to payback the unit in one year at max use; does not include cost of electricity)
- in other words (forgetting about maintenance, opportunity costs, interest, yada, yada, yada, if an operator charges 25 cents per charge, would pay for the unit in one year
- would double his/her money in one year at 50 cents per charge
