Should charging points for EV's be free to use - or have a fee (like you'd pay for fuel ) ?

Eventually we'll all pay a 'road user charge' as part of registration instead of various taxes but may still pay a weight based charge which we here in NSW Australia have to pay. EV's are always heavier than their non-EV versions of the same make/model so every EV driver will be slugged with weight penalties automatically. So access to cheap (or free) electricity for charging is not the great win it seems to be. An EV is inherently a 'slug' because of the weight of the battery module.

Charge them. A very steep price

And none of them ever address what this will do to the grid or the price of electricity when utilities are scrambling to upgrade it. Maybe they should charge electric car owners quadruple the cost per watt

We have plenty of EV charge stations at malls, shopping centers and other public parking lots. Use your credit card just like at the gas station. Home charging units are also readily available, not cheap but gradually coming down in price. I think almost 80 % of the electricity used to power an EV comes from fossil fuels

Nothing free

I have heard the Electricity will quite reasonably priced, But there will be a mileage charge which is extortionate.

It will very interesting to see what happens.This is all in the plan to control people.

New excuse why you cant come to work, my car is dead. I dont have the money to charge it.
Will probably end up being like $300 each charge.

No because there's no compelling reason to make some free that isn't.

I pay when I charge. Not a problem I haven’t found gas for free yet.

Free electricity from the government?...😂
